Scores + Notes
This property is now owned by the Bonnie family, who also own nearby Malartic Lagravière. A real sleeper of the vintage, their gorgeous 2012 exhibits notes of honeysuckle, caramelized citrus, a touch of orange peel and tangerine oil. It is beautifully made, dry, crisp, medium-bodied and very concentrated. Drink it over the next 10+ years.| eRobertParker.com.April, 2015
Robert Parker Score: 92/100
Tasted blind at the Southwold 2012 tasting. The 2012 Gazin-Rocquencourt Blanc has an agreeable apple peel and walnut oil bouquet that just needs a little more delineation. The palate is fresh on the entry with a keen line of acidity, light and airy, but it is lacking some depth on the grapefruit-tinged finish. Not bad, though I have tasted better vintages in recent years. Tasted January 2016. Oct 2016, www.robertparker.com
