Lemon sorbet, macademia, white stone, lime and mandarin zest, hints of bay leaf. Palate has layered cream with sweet mandarin pulp, lime on a heftier stone-laced palate. Famed winemaker Francois Cazin is now well-known for his red wine made of the obscure Romorantin grape, but originally gained notice for his white wine, the Cheveny Blanc. 80% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Chardonnay. 30+ year old vines on clay-limestone soils. Hand-harvested, co-fermented with natural yeasts in stainless steel then aged in concrete tank. Fined, unfiltered.
