Domaine Cauhapé - Geyser 2011 (Sec)

Jurançon|White wine

3.8/5 (32 customers)

Notes: Guide Hachette 2** (Remarkable Wine), Gault Millau 14.5/20
“This Geyser bursts forth with an explosion of white flowers, ripe fruit (peach, pear), and citrus. The clean attack heralds a subtle palate, featuring vine peach, Spanish melon, and verbena, which lingers long on the finish, supported by tart notes (lemon) that bring freshness and balance. A beautiful wine to discover without delay, paired with a langoustine carpaccio.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2013)

Review by Mr. OLIVIER G. Posted on 02/18/2014

It has a lovely freshness and an acidity that nicely balances the wine. However, the intensity of the fruit and the length on the palate are a notch below those of its older siblings...
