I opened I couple of bottles of the H d'Or a few weeks ago, with a large
English crowd. Didn't take notes, but the wine as always was full
of evocative chalk and sea flavors, amazingly complex. No one wanted
to believe it was a Muscadet!

Big fan of L-P and of S. for introducing me to the domaine.

Hopefully, Santiago, we'll be able to get together during your
upcoming annual visit.
