"The rather bland packaging masks a high quality, interesting wine, which instantly wins over all who taste it. On the nose there is a rich, creamy complexity whilst the palate is buoyed by luxurious, peachy fruit and fresh acidity. Not all wines made by expat winemakers are special, but this is! It would be a great alternative to chardonnay, having the weight and feel of an expensive white burgundy."

"I have always found it hard to love Rhône whites, but the latest models from the same grapes grown in the Languedoc hit the spot. Made from nightharvested grapes, this is a terrific, nutty, lemon and apricot-stacked, French oak-aged white of real distinction."
