90-93 Points | International Wine Cellar , July 2012
(60% sauvignon blanc, 38% semillon and 2% muscadelle): Pale straw-green with golden highlights. Captivating nose combines green papaya, lemon, coconut, vanilla, green fig, gooseberry and white pepper. Densely packed and youthful but already showing a silky texture and considerable early appeal owing to its sexy sweetness of fruit. Vibrant citrussy zip provides considerable lift. The rising, palate-dusting finish showcases subtle notes of smoke, herbs and and flowers. A superb white wine from this estate. General manager Philippe Dhalluin told me that 20% of the wine underwent malolactic, but it still has plenty of verve.
