Default '96 Font de Michelle CdP blanc

Had this with line caught sea bass, simply grilled over a wood fire with
good Nyons olive oil and gros sel.

This was a better year for whites than reds in CdP.

Quiet but elegant nose, nuts, lemon and flowers. In the mouth, more of
the same, with
sandlewood and kiwi overtones, quite racy, good but not extraordinary
length. As it
opened (and warmed a little, I think it was a bit cold to begin with)
more walnut and
melon appeared.

A medium weight contender for sure, but lots of pleasure in the bottle
and a perfect
match for the delicate fish. Drink or hold, I think.
