Awards:
“Quite mild and melony on the nose. Less obvious acid than many Limoux Chardonnays. Hint of sweet alcohol on the end” – Jancis Robinson 15.5/20
“Fresh, clean, cool-climate style Chardonnay. A mélange of citrus and tropical fruit with a creamy texture from some expert oak handling. Chablis with attitude.” Matthew Stubbs MW
