About

Ratings:

92

"Bright yellow-green. Reticent but pure aromas of lime, mint and minerals; give this some air. Minerally on entry, then sharply delineated in the middle, offering lovely detail and floral character. A bit youthfully strict today and quite dry on the finish. This needs at least two or three years to expand in the bottle."

91 Gary Vaynerchuk - Daily Grape

"Owner Andre Cournut passed the torch in 1995 to his son Jean-Pierre and the quality of the wines have improved markedly. Extensive work in the vineyards to improve the quality of fruit that he harvests enables him to make the most of his beautifully renovated cuverie and cellar. Creme brulee with a really aggressive mint leaf and nut aspect...like an imaginary walnut ate an almond, and then it got dropped into a custard dessert. Mmmmmmm! On the palate, its got a really delightful flavor (and I don't use delightful often)... the french bakery, custard and dessert-like flavors present themselves, but then the club soda acidity counterbalances it all. The dessert comes back on the finish, along with a banana bread thing. The green banana flavors make this wine really exotic and fun. I'd be remiss not to mention that this wine is loaded with smoked, burnt wood. Complex is an understatement."
