Professional Notes: 91 Points, International Wine Cellar. Bright yellow-gold smoky, soil-driven nose offers aromas of stone fruits, oatmeal, clove, grilled nuts and lees, along with intriguing high notes of lilac and minerals. Penetrating, minerally and very dry, with lovely mid-palate energy giving the wine a light touch. Really dances on the finish, offering saline, spice and mineral nuances and a light touch. This uncompromisingly dry, very subtle wine is about much more than just fruit.
My Review: This was a special wine my mother chose. The price tag was a bit higher than usual, so I had high hopes for this wine. The french label made it seem legit as well; however, I was fairly disappointed. The wine was pale white, I had a hard time discerning any distinctive flavors on the nose. The wine was crisp and not overly sweet. Definitely on the drier side. Again there wasn't much flavor. I would chalk this wine up to be your average Chardonnay. I would not recommend, unless it was on sale for $7.95.
