This wine is aging quite nicely and is at a point where it offers intense butterscotch and caramel (green) apple flavors with a lovely saline quality. I think I might let my remaining bottle age for another 3 to 5 years just to see where it goes.

Very fresh and lifted, pretty blossoms and silky orchard fruit. A tad reductive. One of the killer values in the Faiveley range.

In a way simple, but at the same time dropdead gorgeous for its straightforward fruit, juicy acidity and candied citrus flavors, all framed by a whiff of oak and echoes of chalky minerals. Bargain of the year so far.

Unbelievably good for the price. If you have people that don't like Chardonnay, try this!

Fresh summer strawberries on creme brûlée with lemon zest and vanilla--in a bottle.

Has evolved into a fantastic wine. Sweet Apple, almost cider like. Also lemon and some spice. Fantastic.
