Drank 9\18\19. Nice with grilled fish.

Nose of lemon, honey, and just a touch of petrol, which I had not gotten from this in the past. White peach and lemon curd, with bright acidity in the clean palate. Citrus on the medium finish. As usual, I prefer the oaked version(d'argent), bit this was singing tonight. Very nice.

3\21\8\4\3 +50 =89 pts.

Drank 4/1/19. Decent pairing with Cacio e Pepe, but would have probably preferred a Chianti.

This is the unoaked version. Lemon, minerality, and a touch of earthy funk on the nose. Very clean and balanced with flavors of lemon, citrus peel, some orange zest, and a touch of salinity. Medium to long finish with bright acidity. Overall, I prefer the Lunes d'argent for a couple of bucks more, as it seems to be richer and a bit more interesting than the unoaked Blanche.

3/21/7/4/4 +50=89 pts.
