Beautiful nose of smoky toast, tangy citrus and a distinct minerality. The nose is nice but the palate way over delivers. Tangy citrus, green herbs, saline, stones and depth all on a chewy grippy texture. Stunning wine.

Nothing special. More oak, like a CA Chardonnay. So so. Not worth the price.

Clean and focused like 1er Chablis. Just a hint of O2. Honeysuckle and sour cream. Fantastic wine.

Bright and round at the same time. Citrus fruit, little oxidative, great acid.

Good deal of upfront malo but nice tension and great length. Lots of lemon curd and salty goodness. With salsiccia, Ossau Iraty and Alpine cheese pizza with rosemary. Even better (more expressive, electricity, salty pineapple) day two.

Savagnin varietal wine - lovely highly oxidized and saline with strong apricot and honey notes. Well balanced and excellent finish. Really fantastic wine with seafood. Would be fun to see what this is like in a few years...

Classic Savagnin. A bit creamy and rich. Not as hardcore as other Arbois producers but balanced and accessible (that word).
