| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
DELOUVIN-BAGNOST |
| Light yellow colour. Toasty, ripe, faintly honeyed, spicy, ripe green apple nose with some faintly earthy notes. Dry, medium bodied, slightly spicy, faintly honeyed, ripe apple-lemon flavours with a very crisp, fairly toasty, effervescent finish. Ready-to-drink. Much better than when it last appeared in Vintages (**+) on May 16, 2015 at $49.95. |

A Best Buy |
| In their 2014 edition, Guide Hachette awarded this wine their highest honour, a perfect 3 stars out of 3, which signifies an Exceptional Wine. TASTING NOTE: Four generations into its tenure as grower-producers, the Delouvin family turns out 100,000 bottles annually. That might sound big but it pales next to the millions sold by larger houses. This bone-dry white transported me, figuratively speaking, back to Paris's famous Poilâne bakery (a favourite hangout merely for the heady aroma) with its farmhouse-bread essence, which mingles marvelously with the rich apple-like fruitiness in the wine. Highly recommended ... Score - 92 (Beppi Crosariol, theglobeandmail.com, Dec. 4, 2014) |
