Sipping Fine Wine

9.5

A blend of mostly Semillon and about 10% Sauv Blanc, fermented 6 months in oak, aged for 3 years. Medium amber color with aromas of ripe sweet fruits and orange honey botrytis notes. On the palate rich flavors of ripe peaches and figs with vanilla notes. Long finish ending with sweet fruit notes. Tasting well now, Nice! Had this with a blueberry tart! — 5 months ago

2011 vintage. Spectacular wine that is really still getting better. Pale golden hue. Grapefruit, grassy, white blossom, honeysuckle, mineral and appetising. On the palate, medium body and medium plus acidity which gives a lemon zesty note to the wine. The mineral character is more apparent and there's a green pea note too. Good concentration and long finish. Fabulous and unbelievable value. A top top wine. — 9 years ago

A beautifully balanced Chaleur Blanc with delicate sweet notes countered by some well appointed acidity. Finishes fast and smooth with only the tart acid lingering on. — 5 years ago

Bright, with good acidity... fleshes out a bit with air and seems to be gaining complexity with time. Remains a terrific summer wine. — 6 years ago

Really exceptional. Have usually had these with more age, but this is delicious at this point. Surprising amount of green Apple and similar acid to go along with that. Excellent pairing and just a great wine. — 4 years ago

9.4

Amber dark gold color. Thick and heavy in the glass. Notes of vanilla, brown sugar, and some creme brûlée. Rich and big in the mouth. Light acidity builds and with air this rounds out to a nicely enjoyable finisher for the evening. BDay dinner 12/12. — 6 years ago
