Super romorantin avec un peu d'âge, un nez floral et mielleux et une bouche riche et équilibrée qui s'étire longuement. Sautez dessus si vous le voyez en tablettes! — 11 years ago

Pontet Canet tasting and dinner with Alfred Tesseron.

The 13 was a brutal tannin vintage when I tasted it at En Premier. The tannins are still bitty but, nothing like they were out of barrel.

The fruit in the 13 shows the difficulty in the vintage. They are duller and it’s really stands out from other vintages and not in a good way.

It’s lean and there is nothing that really draws you in. Fruits are; dark cherries, rhubarb, blackberries, some blueberries@and the strawberries show some ripeness the other do not. Lots of dry earth, dry stones, some herbs, dark withering florals, decent acidity and a uneventful dry finish.

Photos of; Clyde and Alfred at the bar, their Amphora style cement tanks they ferment part of each vintage now, road signs of the good neighbors they keep and Chateau Pontet Canet. — 6 years ago

Surprising. Fruit-forward but not overwhelming, nice tannic balance, low-medium acid. — 7 years ago

Lemon zest, white flowers, pineapple, and an intriguing pine cone undertone. Fresh acidity just barely rounded off at the corners. Light-bodied and refreshing. — 10 years ago

Toasty and nutty up front, juicy Pinot in the middle, acidic kick on the back end. For less than $50? J'adore. — 10 years ago

Just what I was looking for in a rose at that price point. It could be a little drier but it was lovely on a warm French Alps day — 10 years ago

One of the better Cour-Cheverny wines I've tasted: a statement that says everything but also nothing. Less unpleasantly oxidative than Daridan, more interesting than de Montcy and Cazin and at much frendlier price than Henri Marionnet. For the money I think this is the best that's out there-- Golden apple skin, celery, tarragon. — 11 years ago

Golden apples, bruised pear, gardenias, almonds, honeysuckle, saline, smoke. Rounded acid, medium-plus body, juicy-oily texture, crisp floral-stone fruit-honeyed finish.. Delicate aromatics unfolds nicely into rich texture, mineral driven, highly food friendly. Recommended for Chenin lovers.

2014 vintage. Honeycomb, green pear, yellow apple, honeysuckle, wet rocks. High acid at first, as is typical of the vintage, but mellows out a bit the next day. Good Merkelbach typicity. Always love these guys and their elegantly restrained style. — 9 years ago

A beautifully aged riesling. Very gentile, bright fruit aromas that grow over time. Striking acidity is balanced by just a little remaining residual sugar. Flavors of citrus fruit with lots of minerality. Medium, gentile finish. — 11 years ago

Really loved this... So elegant and the nose was so alive with stewed strawberry and sweet spices. Light and bright on the palate. 2006 — 11 years ago
