This wine is outstanding. So soft and slight, but full of delicate nuance and depth. On the nose there’s that lovely petrol or rubber note that opens you up to the sweetness of the wine, but when you taste the attack is so gentle and the acidity so perfectly balances the rounder fruit notes that you end up with this magically cleansing lively mouthfeel. Ideal for Asian cuisine. This wine is perfect for adventurous curious drinkers to bring to their friends who swear they only like Sauv. Blanc. Dry and crisp enough that they’ll like it, but different enough that they’ll experience something new. — 5 years ago

Hi C Surfs up fern gully peachy. Juice but fern gully spirit. Coast nectar. (Dank rose and floral - ethereal and holy. Frat party sweetness in heaven.) — 5 years ago
Strong taste of peach which makes me salivate for impeachment. Perfect topper to a great news day. I can’t rank anything less than a perfect ten at this moment. — 6 years ago
2021/4 with roast pheasant breast with pheasant fond, truffle butter and cabbage. As seems to happen with reds from my (overly cold?) cellar, this still seemed to be emerging from adolescence - not quite what most would expect from a 14+ year Chalonnaise wine. Then again, I’ve always found the 2006 reds from Burgundy to be a little blocky, and little blowsy. Still, this was tasty and had hints of emerging complexity. It also still had the price tag on it, and I marveled again that de Villaine has barely raised prices in well over a decade (the recent, pricier line of 1er crus being new additions to the lineup). Please, please, never change. — 4 years ago
Super sophisticated and refined… A real sommeliers dream to pair with sophisticated four-star food. Crisp minerality married delicately with oak enhanced mouthfeel = precision!! — 5 years ago
16.5/20 (90/100) Аромат вишневого варенья, бальзамика и ванили. Остаточный сахар отлично балансируется высоким уровнем кислотности. Приятное во вкусе. Занятное вино. — 6 years ago
