He says :           3.75 stars

• Very refreshing, dry, acidic, very light body
• Citrus taste; peaches, lemon and green apples
• Slight floral feel
• Very astringent, even a little too much
• Very balanced feel; contrary to round, with a fine texture that is slightly greassy
• A hint of grapefruit, with some mineral notes (chalk) when not cold
• Alright, could have stronger taste and have a longer taste in mouth

She says :           3.0 stars

• Very nuanced smell 
• Very dry and acidic wine, even astringent - a bit too much for me
• Tastes like lemon zest, floral also - more some than fruity Gout de zeste de citron, assez floral
