Stephen Brook: Bright medium straw. The nose is shy at first, but then some vibrant apricot fruit emerges. The attack is sleek and vibrant, lively and fresh, leading to a piquant and even charming mid-palate with stone-fruit flavors. The acidity is nicely judged, refreshing the palate and keeping the light residual sugar in check. A finely balanced wine that could indeed be confused with a light Jurançon. It lacks a little drive and force on the finish, but its charm convinces. Quite long, and with a surprisingly mineral finish. Who’d’ve thought it? 90

Andrew Jefford: Vivid mid-gold in character. Less attractive aromatically than our other dry Petit Manseng, this is a little confused or reductive in style. On the palate, this is made in a much sweeter style—at least a medium-dry, perhaps aimed at the off-dry aperitif market. It has a touch of Virginian heaviness to it, but it’s still an enjoyable and intriguing wine with some pineapple/mango fruits, with plenty of central palate wealth and an almost spicy-salty finish. 86

Peter Liem: Floral, exotic notes of litchi and Asian pear turn slightly earthy on the palate, and a moderate sweetness makes this feel simple and a little blank. 79
