Thia bottle was opened at Valette in Healdsburg, CA. Chef Dustin prepared a special matching tasting menu to pair with this beauty. The genius of crafting wine that tastes so good some 37 years after the fact still boggles the mind. Smooth glycerine integration of cedary petrol notes complemented fresh cut camomile flower and ripe cherries - I mean what? How did these youthful notes survive after all these years. Such an incredible wine. — 7 years ago

Sherry, saffron, camomile, roasted peanuts and a bit of wet stones on the nose. As @Kit H said it before. Its all about the texture. Sea salt, tension, acid, balance, long finish. Lovely wine. Give it some air to really open up. — 8 years ago

Quality drinking. Not sure the price but if it's less then $40 this is a massivr bargain. Mineral - soft lemon citrus notes. Balanced acidity - long lingering finish. Refreshing and very good. Cellar potential up to 10 years max. — 9 years ago

Laser-like acid lines and beautiful freshness. If Cossard or Valette made Chardonnay from Champagne I imagine it would taste like this - 2014 — 8 years ago

A delicious rendition of old vine Semillon from the foothills of the Barossa Ranges. Textural and supple yet crackling with energy and freshness. Reminiscent of the whites from Maxime Magnon and Philippe Valette - 2014 — 8 years ago
