Mar 5th, 2017Cream, beeswax, honeysuckle, bitter mineral character. A tried and true wine and producer, yet this vintage, as of now, seems to be dominated by lactic acid and bitterness. Missing the archetypal white fruits e.g peaches. Be curious to retry in 5 to 10 years.

Jun 25th, 2016A real contrast to the 2007, the Wine had an elegant nose with lanolin, red apple, Bosc pear with lovely creamy spice tones. Palate is high pitched but broad with mineral laced tangerine, Fuji apple and cardamom spice tones. This is a lighter weight Blanc from the Domaine. It has an elegant, mineral filigree to the finish. Drinks nicely now but still has upside.

Nov 24th, 2017Clearly not the best vintage but enjoyable. Precisely made, everything correct, fine tannins, but I was left wondering where all the elements that make northern Rhone so special went...
