Rating: 91/100 - As reviewed by Wine & Spirits Magazine on 04/09. Youthful and tensely coiled, this buttresses its vibrant flavors of white peach and mandarin orange with an austere backbone of acidity and minerality. It needs some time to open up yet shows exceptional balance of sugar, acidity and alcohol.

Rating for France-Loire: 83 (slightly worse than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: young, aging quickly, could be good now<br/>
