Baked pear with a subtle touch of cinnamon, frangipane but also some more earthy notes of cheese rind, wet stone along with galia melon rind on the nose and some smoky honey.
Palate has good poise and balance with a fine line of acidity keeping the quite weighty orchard fruit lifted, even edges into some light and very refreshing tangerine citrus character.
Nice amount of age but should continue to develops for some years, represents excellent value for money.

Like my last rating apparently, this is a denser, weightier Jacquere than I am used to. I like it - just seems more into Altesse territory. Lovely fruit, melon, lemongrass, mineral finish.

Oct 8th, 2019Great depth - wonder if it has a bit of Altesse in it due to broadness of palate. Lovely.

A pretty mellow French white. Fruity and smooth.
