Pale yellow color with a green tinge. Elegant and subtle bouquet of citrus fruits and peach. Fruity and lively flavors of lemon, grapefruit and gooseberries. Fruit-driven with terroir expression, bright acidity and a long finish.
Fish, seafood, white meats, fine goat cheeses.
"Full of fresh fruit with touches of wood, this is a ripe wine. White fruits are shot through with lemon acidity, giving good contrast between ripeness and a fresh aftertaste. Drink the wine now. - Roger Voss"

"This perfumed wine is rounded, rich and fruity. Acidity balances with ripe white-fruit and apricot flavors. Give this wine a few more months to soften and drink from mid-2021. - ROGER VOSS"

"Herbal, touched by spice and with some richness, this is a full-bodied wine from the Chety family. It shows strong Sauvignon Blanc flavors, texture and a taut aftertaste. Drink the wine now. - ROGER VOSS"

"Lots of peach, honey, and floral notes emerge from the 2017 Blanc de Brule Secaille Grande Reserve Blanc, which is a blend of 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Sauvignon Gris brought up in 15% new oak. It’s medium-bodied, has terrific balance, good acidity, and a big finish. It’s a smoking value at the price and a rock-solid Bordeaux Blanc to drink over the coming 2-4 years."

"Rich and creamy, this offers a touch of spice and plenty of baked-apple and creamed-pear flavors. The wine is tangy, zesty with pepper and crisp fruits. It should be ready from 2019. - ROGER VOSS"
