Let the summer rose championship run begin. This one is leading the charge, but Clos St Magdeleine releases soon so the battle will get tight as the months progress. Go! — 9 years ago

Mixed berry fruits, hint of spice & even a slight pastry note; reminds me somewhat of baked blueberry pie. Florals notes provide some lift and in the palate it feels so pure and vibrant. A real joy to drink — 10 years ago

Controversial French winemaker Louis-Antoine Luyt delivers a #pais wine from 100+ year-old vines from Cauquenes in the Maule Valley. Funky and reduced after uncorked, a much-needed aeration (in a water jug, mind you) brought to life a juicy, tense and extremely refreshing wine. The liquid was totally opaque, bringing a new meaning to the words "unfiltered & unfined". I remember a couple of years ago having a heated debate with another Frenchman who was making a documentary about Luyt who told me how wines like this battle against the homogenisation of flavours. Not for everyone. You can find it with Louis/Dressner if in the USA. — 10 years ago

Some butter, but at the same time some decent minerality.....2013 is a stand out year for this Chard....great with blue points and battle creeks — 10 years ago

Good typicity. Dried cranberry, red currant, red plum, dried rose, violets, organic and inorganic earth, moderate level of VA, normal for the style. Bridge between modern and old style. Paired well with a debate concerning the carrying capacity of European vs African swallows, ascertaining the guilt of a witch, and a near-fatal battle with a bloodthirsty rabbit :) — 10 years ago

Like drinking wine from a blue/white Alpen stream thru a stone straw with bubbles!! Hooray! This is a wine that cheers the soul with purity, Vini estremi indeed. The label my favorite, complete with ice axe and rope, I love it!! — 11 years ago
