Didn't really feel this wine. Had melon qualities and classic vouvray nose, but more light bodied than I like from a vouvray. Wouldn't go out of my way to drink this wine again.

Medium body. Honey and a little candied apple, but lacking acidity for roundness. Would probably not pick up again

Our daily nada. Elizabeth loves. Mix of Riesling and Sauvignon blanc.

Quite nice and refreshing. Sweeter than I tend to like, but the sweetness has complexities of high quality honey + nectarine that I like in this context. Definite melon notes on the tongue, which fade to white peach and nectarine. Mineral notes complement, and the acidity helps balance the sweetness. This would be great for drinking alone in the sunshine, but could pair with rich chicken dishes.

A bit too sweet for my liking. Cut through the chili in the salmon dish I had, but on its own, a bit too much.

Nose is mostly honey, and slight citrus. Taste is tangerine and nectarine, slight green apple, medium mouth feel with acidity. Medium length. I've never had a French white, loved it!

Clean and crisp. Will be serving this to friends by the pool on a hot summer day.
