They were out of Puffeney Chardonnay so we just had to drink this. Really great fresh yellow orchard fruits (mirabelle, golden apple skin, yellow pear) matched with these savory almond, sesame, salted cashew, walnut husk, saffron and chicken stock. Like great fino or manzanilla, but without that little muscled bump of the acidification and fortification. A classic and should be considered as highly as wines that we see much more often on IG and @delectable. — 11 years ago

Great character. Good fruit, hints of mirabelle with pleasant touch of mineral. — 13 years ago

Very lightest of salmon hue--soft floral notes of mirabelle/orange blossom, strawberry and white cherry, almost a bit of fresh herb. Really delivers on the palate- creamy citrus and intense cherry/red berry, mouth coating minerality, herbs, very Provence like. — 11 years ago

Marc Hebrart Cuvée de Réserve Premier Cru Brut Champagne à Mareuil-sur-Ay | Dégorgé le 04 janvier 2013 | 12% | Terry Theise says the fruit of Mareuil Pinot Noir is unlike any he knows in Champagne: “firmer and less malty than Aÿ, altogether less chunky than Bouzy, not unlike Verzy but richer, far more comme il faut than the savage power of Verzenay, less softly perfumey than Ambonnay, less smoky than Cumières. Indeed if it were Burgundy, Mareuil could well be Morey-St.-Denis.” Which might be why I love this so –and for its swooning scent of rye dough and bright Mirabelle plum which speaks of the fruity pumpernickel of the Vallée de la Marne within Champagne –even though it doesn’t have any Pinot Meunier –chalky, tangy with apple skin tannins and a chirping texture and fragrantly flavored finish, this is LOVELY! — 13 years ago

If you think southern France doesn't have good white (I did), taste this. Quince, mirabelle (yellow/white plum) and honey with great acidity and citrus fruits. Burgundy meets southern France — 12 years ago

Ah but so smooth. Lovely fruit, mirabelle. Nice acidity for balance. I likes it and the people who makes it. — 13 years ago

Bonkers but brilliant! Everything from lemon zest and mirabelle plum to honey and sage. Better room temperature than cold. — 13 years ago
