Gault & Millau

“An aromatic and mineral nose, with notes of chalk, lemon, and a subtle hint of honey. On the palate, the wine is lively and bold. The minerality is very pronounced and lends the wine a certain austerity. Fans of dry Chenin will appreciate it... Others will need to be patient.” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2015 – Gault Millau)
