Pale lemon yellow color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits. On the palate flavors of ripe apple and peach with lemon citrus notes. Medium finish, lively acidity ending with fruit and citrus tang.

For me this wine is totally win-win: cheap, lean, old world white. Zesty lemon and under ripe green pear. Slate and a nice high acidity, texture on the tongue.

This way outperformed the $10 price tag. Tart, linear, lemon green apple and rocks, great for cooking and as an accompaniment to sole in lemon butter sauce. Just the ticket on a murderously hot day

Dry but fruity, light and unoaked. Delightful on a hot summer day. #AOC #languedoc

While it’s by no means an offensive bottle I find it difficult to say anything overwhelming positive about this wine. I know that similar sentiments are somewhat inherent when it comes to this grape; I just thought I would give it the benefit of the doubt. In all likelihood I won’t buy this again but if easy drinking dry whites are your thing I think this bottle has great value. Personally, I prefer something a little more characterful and challenging.

This crisp and dry white has citrus and floral notes on the nose. The palate has citrus notes with a touch of minerality. Fantastic with salmon. Would be great with oysters.

Zesty lemon, salinity, minerals. Alive and bright.
