Jean-Paul and Benoit Droin. 13% alcohol by volume. Pale gold color with transparency. Delicious white fruit notes (apple and pear) with little wood influence. Smooth tasting with excellent balance. Exhilirating with a mineral freshness and vivacity and pleasing fruit. May become one of my wines of 2012. I had with baked chicken, chunks of portabella mushrooms and asparagus. It would also pair with clams or halibut or sole. My routine is to have two glasses of wine most evenings with dinner (sometimes one glass before or after dinner and the other during the dinner.) This was so easy to drink that I was tempted to keep going beyond the second glass (bud didn't.) One bottle remaining.

P.S. I just looked up the tasting notes on CellarTracker--widely variant--from 80 points from someone who thought the wine might have been oxidized to 91 and 92 points from other contributors.
