(2016 Vintage Notes)

Blanc Ivoire is a delicate wine, offering aromas of white fruit and citrus. Its slightly spicy freshness lends complexity to this lively cuvée. The balance between bitterness and acidity is masterfully achieved. A truly delightful bottle!

Review by Mr. GUILLAUME G. Published on October 14, 2018

Since I'm very familiar with this wine, I was disappointed to find it had a corked taste—even though it's still drinkable—especially since it's a new vintage! What a shame, because I know it's usually excellent!
