BUY THE WINE

Tim Atkin: Very pale, almost water white. Light, boiled-sweets aromas. Very simple. Scant varietal character. What a dull wine. Dilute, too - 11

Stephen Brook: Fresh, delicate nose, with clarity and purity of fruit; has lift and charm. Good attack, assertive, with high acidity, yet it just about gets away with it. The intensity of fruit makes up for the slight lack of ripeness and succulence. It seems unlikely to develop much complexity but should settle down with a bit more bottle age. A good shellfish wine, but this is not for long cellaring - 15.5

Alex Hunt: Simple, dusty-leesy, neutral-bilious nose. So light and thin, with a little spritz; it’s not even Petit Chablis style—more like basic Muscadet - 11
