"Colombard (70%) brings a lively aromatic intensity to a blend that includes Sauvignon. No boxwood, just thyme and flowers, followed on aeration by white peach and pineapple. All these seductive impressions are reflected in a full-bodied palate, balanced by a lively citrus note. (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018) A white wine of pure pleasure!
