A newly created estate of 27 acres based in the twin villages of Vire and Clesse. Pale lemon with aromas of white stone fruits, citrus, honey and nutty scents. On the palate tart apple, pear and lemon, crisp, lively acidity, medium length ending with mineral character. Drink now, no aging benefit.

This wine has a lot of additives, creamy, other adjucts. Unfortunately not pleasant. Similar to $8 grocery wines. Not pure.

I admittedly don’t drink a lot of white wines. How ever I had the opportunity to drink this wine the other day and I have to say I really enjoyed it. It has a light melon overtone mixed with a touch of orange. While it is light it has good body. I can’t really explain but it is rather enjoyable. I think this one would be great for drinking with friends or served with the right foods. Try it and I hope you enjoy.

Delicious unoaked Chardonnay. Lemon cream with a hint of grapefruit. Very succulent, smooth and balanced. Enjoyed with poached steelhead trout.

Fantastic! Lemon slight finish of grapefruit, lovely clean balance, acidity is tart yet refreshing and wanting a food pairing. Beautiful balanced white
