Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Pale yellow with aromas of ripe white stone and citrus fruits with dried floral grassy notes, aged on lees for 5 months. On the palate flavors of rich apple and lemon with crisp acidity and pronounced mineral notes. Medium+ finish, ending with creamy citrus, herb and flinty mineral character. Good now and will improve over next several years!

Quaffable, affordable alternative to Sancerre. Lean, flinty, slate, mineral, apricot, white peach, finger lime, slight green bell pepper component

Divine! Crisp, refreshing and just right for summer. Lots of citrus, a little pear (or peach?), and some mineral to keep it from being too sweet.

#wine is so good in so many different ways. But, it does finish with a green edge that might turn a head.

Bones are good, but unfortunately oxidized. As wine was not made in an oxidative style, I suspect poor storage. Quite the letdown.

So so pretty- all the grace of Sancerre but with a Touraine accent and price tag. Drink with roast fish and cornbread.
