This was proposed as an alternative to the Abymes and South African Chenin and Mendocino Pinot Blanc I tried to order, all of which were out of stock. I saw the Kermit back label and said yes.
Pale yellow green. Aromas of green plum, cherry and a hint of almond. Seems off dry, which it may be, but also the barriques...
Pretty good w brandade (overdone truffle oil) and grilled asparagus salad.

Flashback to school lunch canned pear juice runoff! Nice round texture. Inviting.

Cork matches the wine. Not a fake. Really nice with a roast chicken. Weighty, fruity, just a little sweet.

Great producer, great importer, boring wine. I'm glad it doesn't happen often.

Great purity of fruit and energy, but the influence of barrique is surely atypical.

Great weight. A bit heavier but also racy

The red fruit is unripe, with a cranberry-like bite. Good food wine

2018- crisp and clean, dry on the palate, perfect on this hot day.

Les forêts du Guangdong et les roseraies anglaises se rencontrent au domaine.
Fusion florale fruitée, accompagne merveilleusement l'unagi. Céleste.
