Savoie, France
Big white. High in just about everything... acidity, weight, mouthfeel. Slight corn oil thing going on, with lemon and honey. No heat, but the richness needs some food. Melted cheese and bread from same region would do quite nice

Weirdo corn/honey notes, with decent body and some lees like richness.

Aug 13th, 2017Awesome aromas of tangerine, grapefruit lemon and melon with a tinge of spice. A little oak on the palate but smooth with a bit of a lingering Chardonnay taste. Good bottle, I think it's very good for the price point.

I wish there was a bit more sharpness, but it's undeniably tasty, round, and juicy.

Feb 25th, 2015Had this years ago and remember being amazingly happy with the bottle. ...and have never been able to find it since. Trying to remember, but recall this having a lot of crisp minerality.

yellow-gold in color with cream and butter on the nose alongside aromas of orchard fruit. Very dry on the palate with stoney notes and green apple, a medium-rich body and lovely texture blending roundness with crunch.
