Light yellow golden color and white stone fruits with hints of oil and salinity carrying through to acidic biting palate with lively if not elegant texture and good length. Surprised to see on back label as 100% Chardonnay which in retrospect makes sense. Excellent. Checked list, was GL 2010 13.6 value, only two bottles with one gone to Maria/Ali so no more! Also two of same from Haute Vallee instead of Oceanique which hopefully still in stash. Made exactly the same way but from district vineyard terroir. Too bad can’t make direct comparison.

The guy at the store, as I put my hand on this, told me that it is a good burgundy knock-off. I have no idea what he was talking about but this is simple easy drinking limoux. No stuffing and no BS, refreshing citrus and some bright straw. It was best while doing the dishes after dinner.
