What the Critics are saying:
The friendly Folle Blanche opens the tasting with the freshness of its lemony notes. It gives the wish to reconnect with this often too strict grape variety. Guide vert RVF 2025 by Alexis Goujard
Delicious Folle Blanche, full of peps and invigorating fruity notes. With little alcohol (11°), this white wine stimulates your taste buds without the harshness commonly found with this grape variety. Revue des Vins de France - Mars 2023
This Folle Blanche, a unique AOC grape variety, which grew biodynamically on schist is adorned with beautiful lemony notes. A salivating wine, ideal with fried smelt. Le Parisien - Septembre 2023
Very fleshy mouth, white and yellow fruit, covering texture, a wine of substance and pleasure which will reconcile more than one with this wrongly criticized appellation. Paris Match - Septembre 2023
