Lemon rind, white flowers, golden apple, pineapple, and shortbread abound on a layered nose. Palate is acid driven, but in balance. Tart green and underripe yellow apple mix with zesty wet stone. Finish is savory and lingers. — 8 years ago

Alarmingly easy to drink. Very mineral and "bready"-- reminds me of pastries and shortbread, with a hint of lemon sorbet. Actually prefer this to the Roulot Bourgogne Blanc. — 11 years ago

My best bargain find of 2017 so far!

I'm told French people don't like spending over €15 on bubbles & this €16 bottle was given to us by a fellow wine friend in Paris & I have to say in retirement it will do me 👍

Treat from a wine excursion to PEC 2013. A delicious Pinot Noir "Noble Rot" dessert or apertif wine. 2 days ago when opened it had an effervescent on tongue a bit distracting but apricot marmalade flavour came through. Revisted the remaining half bottle tonight and "tingle" was faded in mouth. This allowed us to truly enjoy with warm smoked garganzola and guyere shortbread cookies. Truffle notes really cameout on backend - well worth the wait! — 9 years ago

Crystal clear, deep golden amber in colour. Watery rim, thin and slow legs. Nose condition clean. Fun, fragrant and expressive nose exudes honey, botrydis, orange jam, orange peel, brandied apricots and lemon cheesecake. Lucious in sweetness, medium (+) acdity and pronounced intensity of flavours. Exciting palate, intense flavours of brandied apricot, apricot liquer, white peach, nectarines, butter and shortbread biscuits. Intense, concentrated long finish. This wine is fantastic drinking now but with excellent sugar / acid balance will hold for some extra ageing — 10 years ago

This Bordeaux Blanc Sec is a classic blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sémillon, and is quite a steal at less than $20 per bottle considering it's from Domaine de Chevalier. Fragrant floral notes are rounded out by rich aromas of shortbread cookie, pear, honeydew melon and a hint of freshly mown grass. Full-bodied with medium acidity, lovely toasty notes bolster a core of sweet fruit. Mineral accents and candied grapefruit show through on a lengthy, meandering finish. 13.5% ABV — 11 years ago

Nick Apone

9.1

Crystal clear straw yellow with green hues in the glass. Lots of mineral on the salty chalky nose with a touch of match strike. Bright lemon and lime lead the charge here but Granny Smith Apple and pear round out to finishing flavors of shortbread and toasted marshmallow that are balanced by lip smacking acidity. Finish is long and persistent. — 11 years ago

Flamboyant aromas of orange/honeysuckle and green drupe fruits. Light on the front of the palate yet gains steam from there. Warm shortbread with a side of macadamia nuts. Hint of tarragon and white pepper make for a minute plus finish. Decant for at least an hour. — 8 years ago

Beautiful salmon pink color in the glass. More power than finesse on the palette. This explodes on the mid-palette. Good presence which finishes with toast and shortbread. One of our faves. — 8 years ago

2008 Vintage. Dark ruby red in the glass. The nose offers up lilac, high toned cherry, strawberry preserves, chamomile tea and clay. Black raspberry, & shortbread burst onto the palate, but this wine is all about texture. Very rich, polished, texture that has bright acidity to bring this wine full circle. Very fun and complex wine. — 11 years ago
