Nice. I think this 2022 would have benefited from another couple years in bottle. No notes right now, just a reminder to myself this was a fun wine. — 20 days ago

A bit disappointing tbh. I am a fan of Romorantin as a white wine from Cheverney, but as a sparkling wine - it just didn’t quite work. A bit awkward, slightly “dirty”, and while some oxidation can be nice with some bready/ biscuity notes, this was too far into the oxidized flavors. — 3 months ago

Too distant for precise notes. Recall a nicely balanced and clean wine, with savory elements, good structure and supporting fruit. — 5 months ago

Note that this is the “North Coast” Trousseau, not “Clear Lake”. 2022 vintage. Beautiful wine - cherries, tobacco, a bit of leather, rose water. Almost like a very light Barbaresco. Lovely wine. — 2 months ago

This is exactly what I am looking for in a Syrah. Pure Northern Rhône, amazing weight and texture, super clean. Beautiful. Drink 2019 now through 2035. — 4 months ago

Worth it. A bit hot, but loving how that 30% Mourvèdre shines through the 70% Grenache in this 2018 vintage. Lots of forest floor, then gobs of berry fruit from the Grenache. Tone down the octane a smidge and this would be a spectacular bottle. As it is, pretty good. — 5 months ago

Just meh. Black tea and subtle cherries. Just kind of think and boring and short. Not what I was hoping for. — 3 months ago

Beautiful and even elegant, which is a descriptor that not many Pinot Meunier’s often get. Lovely aromatics, incredible texture, great balance. — 3 months ago

Initial metallic reduction and bitter finish blows off after some time being open, leading to rich round fruit (although a bit hot). — 5 months ago
