89 points Wine Spectator: "[$27 list] An intense, focused white, displaying interesting notes of chalk and sea salt to the firm flavors of apple, melon and smoke. Hints of dried apricot and lavender mark the finish. Drink now through 2017. 30 cases imported. (2012)"

Producer notes: "With a production of 1,250 cases, the Bandol Blanc consists primarily of Clairette and Ugni Blanc, with Bourboulenc and Sauvignon Blanc rounding out the blend and bringing aromatic complexity and freshness. Malolactic fermentation avoided. After fermentation, the wine was aged 5 months in stainless steel tanks or concrete before bottling."
