Reviews and Ratings

L.J. Palmer WSET 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Wine is pale lemon in colour, dry, refreshing acidity, , medium body, and a pronounced nose with a mildly salty tang, passion fruit, grapefruit, citrus and a gooseberry aroma that developed late. Fresh tastes of passion fruit, citrus and grapefruit, with a mild salty tang and hint of gooseberry. Finish was medium length and tangy citrus.This was excellent paired with a plain shrimp cocktail and it would be very good on its own as a summer sipper or aperitif. Predominantly Sauvignon Blanc but rounded by inclusion of Semillon in the blend and with enhanced aromatics courtesy of Muscadelle. A great value!

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This is a lovely blend of Sauv Blanc and Semillon from a larger producer. There is a splash of Muscadelle that totally elevates the aromatics of the wine, and brings in some tropical and floral elements. The wine is multi-dimensional, with citrus pith, yellow raspberry, gooseberry, cut grass, and a hit of unripe quince. Perfect for a hot summer day in the backyard with some crevettes de Matane. 89 Points.
Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Classic white Bordeaux blended from Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, along with a splash of Muscadelle. Aromas of creamy lemon, gooseberry, and white grapefruit. Light bodied, with medium acidity. At seven years old in 2023, this has been mellowed and the fruit is rounded and soft. It's time to drink this, but you can till enjoy with any white fish or shrimp dishes.
