Dark gold colour. A nose of fairly ripe apples and pears, sea salt with that salinity on the palate too, fairly wide and yet mineral wine, some nice richness and yet good energy also, long finish and delicious bottle, that gives you a lot at this price point. 91-92
Couleur or foncée. Nez de pommes assez mures, poires, sel de mer et un peu de salinité au nez comme en bouche pour ce vin délicieux, minéral, assez large, riche avec un certain gras, énergique aussi, long en bouche et qui en donne beaucoup à ce prix. Magnifique 91-92

Absolutely lovely. Both viscous and linear, crystalline yet dense. Much more classic Chenin profile than the Clos Michet, this is showing only a slightly reductive flinty top note. Everything else is pure Chenin. Awfully Vouvray-like.

Dec 31st, 2022Nice nose of white fruit, apples and some honey. The wine shows a nice minerality, freshness and elegance with a good tension, purity of fruit, balance and delicious. Nice value and a good change from Chard. 90-91
Nez de fruits blancs, pomme, un peu de miel. Bouche avec une belle minéralité, fraîcheur et élégance, acidité avec une belle tension appuyée, fruit pur, équilibrée et savoureuse. Bon rapport QP.
