"Edles, aromatisch intensives Bouquet mit Noten von reifem gelbem Steinobst, dazu Agrumen, weisse Blüten und ein Hauch reife Papaya. Aromatisch komplex. Am Gaumen kraftvoll und dennoch leichtfüssig, wirkt virbrierend, viel gelbe Frucht, leichte Herbe im Abgang und ein mineralisch-salziger Eindruck."

"This deep-gold wine looks rich and ripe right off the bat, and the nose parallels that impression with slightly oxidized notes of toasted nuts, gingered orange peel, melon rind, spiced pear, grilled apple and pineapple upside-down cake. The mouthfeel is full and yet nicely textured, with a light tannic texture and subtle pithy bitterness that lends depth to the otherwise rich and ripe impression. Lauren Buzzeo"

"This is a big, bold, powerful white, a blend of 80% Chardonnay, 15% Viognier and 5% Sauvignon Blanc. Oaky aromas of toast, hazelnut and sweet spice abound throughout, gracing the fruit elements of honeydew, baked apple, peach pit, clove-spiked orange and buttered nuts. The mouthfeel is round and broad, but with ample acidic lift to the palate and through the finish to keep things fresh. A gingered peach-white tea flavor lingers on the close; try after 2017."

"This Chardonnay-led blend, with 20% Viognier and 10% Sauvignon, opens with mature notes of apple peel, orange rind, toasted walnut, honeycomb and baking spice. The round, robust offers those same notes, followed by a subtle, refreshing salinity that appears on the finish."

"This blend ofChardonnayViognier andSauvignon Blanc offers good concentration and ample richness, with pure yet powerful aromas and flavors of wood-grilled apple, peach pit, beeswax and yellow melon rind. Accents of toasted challah and pressed yellow flowers add depth to the bouquet, while finishing touches of orange oil and sweet spice unfold on the round, lush finish. Drink now-2018."

"A seriously supple and creamy wine with character throughout. The nose is loaded with garrigue perfumes of thyme and bay leaves among the clean red apple and white melon aromas. Toast and soft spice mingle on the palate, with a soft honeyed flavor enduring through the long finish."

"Bright light golden colour. Fine nose, layered with yellow fruit like apricot and peach with candied citrus and a floral bouquet, discreet wood in the background. The palate is dense and ample, still youthful but generous with unctuous fruit, still present oaky notes but well-balanced with an underlying freshness and a long warm finish. Still needs some time to soften but ambitious and well-made."

"Medium deep golden colour, some intensity here. Very nice intensity on the nose, pure, very floral and fruity, also with a hint of nuts from the élevage, it feels like this has seen a touch of oak, we get some vanilla here. Very fine wood, I like this quite discrete roasted style, we have some notes of hazelnut, and beautiful fruit, very pure, high ripeness, but it still feels quite well-restrained in terms of freshness. We have some ripe apricot, ripe lemon, some notes of stone fruits. We'll call this rather full-bodied for a white wine, it's got a rather bold structure, quite well-balanced, we feel a hint of oak on the palate but it's still quite subtle and mainly the fruit is coming out. Ripe stone fruit, good backbone, good bite, moderate acidity, vinified in a dry and fresh style, and we also get some freshness. Nice intensity on the finish as well, this has really good length, keeps lingering on the palate, nice harmony on the final. Bold, ripe stone fruit, finely tuned oak, still rather youthful, I think we can drink this with pleasure today. However, this is rather full-bodied, nicely-made, I think this is a wine that has the structure to develop complexity over the course of a few years. So, very nice, attractive, feels like Southern French style, ambitious, nice, elegant juicy fruit. Attractive drinking."

"Youthful colour. Medium deep straw. With a green hue. Fine nose, good purity. Very aromatic. Displaying both some green notes, in the direction of ripe gooseberry. Some wild herbs. There is lemon, lime, but also slightly bolder fruit, like peach and apricot, with some white flower. Gentle hint of oak. There is a nice touch of something roasted in the background. Good grip on the palate. Very attractive fruit here. I think it has a bit more than medium weight. Good flavour intensity here. Rounded stone fruit like peach and apricot. Also with more zesty elements with lime and lemon. Very nicely integrated acidity. Some more oak is emerging on the palate. Still quite discreet, I think it adds a nice touch of roasted hazelnut. Good ripe freshness, good extract and long lingering finish. Youthful wine, still with a slight deal of complexity and layered spiciness."
