    This rich blend gets its ripe texture and warm pear and citrus flavors from 50% Sémillon. It has an attractive perfumed edge, with kiwi-like acidity and a peppery aftertaste. Drink from 2018.

  • 2015

    Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, with a touch of perfume from Muscadelle give a wine that, while still young, is ripe and shows a touch of spice from wood aging. It is a rounded wine that has pepper as well as just enough acidity. Drink from 2017.

  • 2014

    With its 50% Sémillon, this ripe wine has the potential to be rich. It has a perfumed, fruity character at this stage, emphasizing flowery fruits along with citrus. As it develops, it will fill out comfortably. Drink from 2016.

  • 2013

    Dominated by ripe Sémillon, this is a rich wine. It has a touch of herbaceousness, but the yellow fruits, pears and stroke of lemon give a full-bodied, rounded feel. Wood aging adds further to the satisfying flavors.

  • 2012

    A crisp and fruity wine with herbal flavors, as well as riper apricot and quince flavors. It's a balanced wine, developing well, with great final acidity and a lively, crisp aftertaste. Drink now and until 2018.
