Quite pale lemon , straw colour . On the nose this shows good freshness with some white peach , lemon pith , white flowers and light seabreeze notes . On the palate this has a creamy texture with white peach , lemon notes , with a saline seaside tinge . Good freshness and decent length . I can imagine this going really well with bouillabaisse. Drinking well and probably continue to so over the next 3-4 years — a month ago

Pale lemon in color.

Strong nose and medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.

This is a delicious Bandol white. Rich, tangy and fruit forward. Has a New world Sauvignon Blanc feel.

Expressive and spicy. Complex and nicely balanced. Really enjoyed the nose here.

Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years and see how it evolves.

A great sipping wine that will pair nicely with food too.

One of the bottles from my annual WWC hosting. I opened this as a side by side to a 2019 Saxum White as the makeup is fairly similar.

80% roussanne/ remaining a mix of Grenache Blanc, Clairette, piquepoul blanc, picardan and bourboulenc.

Nicely expressive at pop, it then faded and hid in a shell for a few hours before coming back at last glass. At 80% roussanne, I expected a more consistent expressive profile (honeyed tropical fruits, some orange) and for the acid to show a touch, but it was a roller coaster. More melon and light fruits vs bigger/more tropical. Medium bodied but not as rich as expected. It’s clean and shows some floral and mineral/stony nuances, but I’d spend the extra and take the Roussanne VV to get more complexity and flavor. — a month ago
