I'm a new kid around here....so first tasting note...

Interesting little wine and a blend of Savignan aged sous voile and Chardonnay produced in a more Burgundian manner.

Pale straw in hue with a captivating funky nose of walnuts, bread dough, green apple, peach, fennel, spice and hazelnuts with hints of salty minerality, old furniture, nettle and a faint waft of garam marsala.

In the mouth it is sappy and chewy with a nervy gait..there is a great interplay between the lightly oxidised Savignan and the more rounded, citric Chardonnay. Again reminiscent of a fino sherry with walnut and hazelnut tones, bread and stone-fruit.swathed in minerals, spice and herbs with a crunchy acid line and a superb lingering finish. One for the wine geeks and an enchanting wine at that.would make a superb aperitif!

This is not a "little wine" and while it's good on its own, you really should try it with food. Puff Daddy is one of the best vignerons in France.
