| Enjoy : It is a wine with an intense nose of citrus fruit and flowers such as verbena, acacia and honeysuckle combined with a very light whisper of oak. Very perfumed on the palate, it is as fresh as it is supple, a wine of great elegance. (very elegant green cap and label as well) 91 points Wine Spectator

Tasting Notes:
Expressing a classic dusty Chablis nose, the entry is fresh and juicy with lemon and crisp yellow apples notes. The mouthfeel shows a generous body with creamy texture off set by streaks of oyster-esqe salinity that develop in the palate to a very balanced and satisying finish. PAIRING SUGGESTIONS: This wine begs for Oyster's on the half shell. Also, Halibut-pan seared, topped off with shallots, capers, lemon & a hint of dill. Try with Jumbo King Crab legs, served w/ Drawn-Garlic butter w, fresh lemons. Also great for our "Hot Texas Summers"
