The blend in 2016 is quite different from the previous vintage, reversing the roles of the Pinot Noir (35%) and Chardonnay (55%), with a splash of Pinot Meunier as before. It’s young and fresh, with crisp apple fruit flavors in a compact, well-defined frame. There is clearly some aging potential, though where the flavors will [...]
The blend is 47% Pinot Noir, 16% Pinot Meunier and 37% Chardonnay, yielding concentrated flavors of rhubarb and wild strawberry.

Full-bodied, rich and spicy in the mouth, it has great [...]
Blended with 12% Sémillon, this white is steel and floral, with a lemony core that's more balanced and elegant than fruit-forward. Wet stone and jasmine accent it well. Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, 3/1/2019
