BUY THE WINE

Essi Avellan: Fragrant white-flower nose with vegetal notes, pear and vanilla. Lightweight palate, fresh and zesty. Better on the palate than on the nose. Searing lemony finish. 85

Anthony Rose: Pale in color, fresh, restrained aromatics; tart green-apple fruit on the tongue. Lean streak of acidity on the finish, a tad tart and hard and lacking in charm. 85

Tom Stevenson: Oak and Chardonnay clash, removing the purity expected of a blanc de noirs. 84
