Spicy fruit forward. Long lasting & downright very good. If this is where we are starting price range with big basin, can't wait to see where we go from here. Very happy purchase. Repeat button for sure — 9 years ago

Prince Florent de Merode

Clos du Roi Corton Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1999

One of the best bottles of GC Burg I've had. This is in perfect form right now. Showing a perfect intermingled harmony between fruit and tertiary vinous character. Not over oaked at all. Very tart intact red and black cherries with acrid pomegranate and bramble. A kiss of brett with moist, mossy soil like earth including a white button mushroom presence. Dusty stone minerality with a cedar and light pepper finish. This is quite wonderful. I think 99 burgundy is just so spot on to drink now. — 10 years ago

Minerality and button mushrooms compete with well delineated and just barely ripe tropical fruit. No boxwood or jalapeño here. Much better with food than without. — 10 years ago

Monmousseau

Clos le Vigneau Vouvray Chenin Blanc

Super ripe apricots and golden apples with mandarin orange, button mushroom, spicy bell pepper, honey, flowers, and beeswax on the nose. Fruits continue onto palate with ginger spice and cinnamon. Finish reminds me of Apple Jacks. A touch of RS. Fun wine, a good expression. — 8 years ago

Originel Heidi Kuka Menu-Pineau Romorantin

Chris Scanlan
9.0

She's temperamental. And expressive. It ain't no a Billy Joel Song; it's a Soings en Sologne, sung by the son of a son of a viticulture (well maybe only the cousin). Very fucking cool wine. Unique for this region. Kind of Sebastian Riffault-like in his rule breaking to Sancerre, but perhaps more... tame. Oxidative for this vintage, maybe that's consistent? Tastes like there's some skin contact on the romorantin, a roller coaster of acidity and sapidity across the tongue, and Menu Pineau, I can find it if I look. If you don't like oxidative wine, you probably won't appreciate this. But I judge a wine whether it's empty or not, and this one didn't stand a chance. Tastes better when it's warmed up and breathed for an hour. vintage is technically 2012 -not on label. Wife (New Zealander) Heidi Kuka makes the eye-catchingly, ornate almost Maori-like tribal tattoos for the labels. Julien Courtois is able to knock it out of the park on occasion, but mostly, he makes very good, expressive and interesting, but most importantly drinkable wine from the western Loire. — 9 years ago
