François 1er Cour-Cheverny Romorantin 2008

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

Cour-Cheverny Romorantin 2012

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

Grand Reserve Brut Champagne Blend

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

There was a library release of Renaissances a few years ago, including '95s and '96es. If you can get your hands on them, they are sensational wines. In their youth they can be a little cloying though, I agree.

I'll definitely have to seek those out. Sounds spectacular.

Within the last year or so, I saw them at Nice Matin and Bathazar for under $100. Not exactly the sort of thing that flies off a shelf.

Cuvée Paradis Rosé Brut Champagne Blend

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

Erdener Treppchen Spätlese Riesling 2002

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
