Pale straw gold with silver highlights. Somewhat shy nose of underripe Fuji apple and Asian pear. Firm acidity leads the smoky/flinty light-bodied palate of underripe pome fruit and citrus rind. Remarkably long (8-9 secs) palate cleansing finish. Merciful saints! This is the entry level wine from the Dagueneau portfolio and it makes you want to go higher! Food is, of course, its friend, but if you’re into “sipping culture” this will work for you as well. Seafood (cooked or sushi) is a particularly fine pair, naturally. Drink now through 2027.

Big and slightly meaty but not fat. An eye opener of oily lightness.

Just singing. And the song is “What SB, Will be...” Doris Day would’ve loved this.

I don't know, tastes like Pouilly-Fume to me. Anyone care to explain what I'm missing?
