Armand Roux Verdillac White Bordeaux 2004

Bercut-Vandervoort imports Verdillac Blanc, which is 70% Semillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc. 87.5 points.  The color is pale straw. The aromas are melony, grassy, a bit herbal, a bit floral, with some apple notes in the background. The mouthfeel is light, juicy, with barely any sugar, balanced with tartness, and displaying fresh cut fruit and mineral flavors. The finish is crisp. We tasted it by itself and with grilled chicken salad. The closure is a genuine cork. (A screw cap would be a plus.) The $10 Nashville price is a very good value.

I tried this one tonight, and wasn't super impressed. Mine is a 2006, making it pretty close probably to the age yours was when you wrote this. I didn't get any of the aromas you mentioned, but definitely get the mineral taste. I like your site, swing by http://www.vinoville.com sometime.
