Huge wine...Sharp, chalky with time it becomes very rich and nutty. Fascinating stuff! — 5 years ago
Lots of fruit. Enjoyed with almond cake, apple and yuzu sorbet. — 7 years ago
In my constant search for the best 100% meunière, this is up there with the best, C-T Les Barres, Prevost, Bereche, Emmanuel Brochet, and the impossible find George Laval.
An exciting combination of energy and restraint. It’s not about the fruit. Very savory. — 8 years ago
Vintage 2015 - true to type sauvignon blanc, crisp, character. Racy and energetic. At C'heu l'Zib at Menetou Salon - combined with Terrine du Maison and Brochet au beurre blanc #menetousalon #sauvignonblanc — 8 years ago
Vintage 2010 / I drank this wine for the first time in Auberge du Bon Laboureur in Chenonceaux and was so surprised I decided to drive to the domaine next day. Visited it once more with winefriends afterwards. Frédéric Brochet is doing great work in a part of France, the #Vienne, that is not known for its wines. This 2010 from Cabernet is developing excellent. Harmonious, red bell pepper. Went very well with Cantonese beef and paksoi. A real gem for the cellar with good perspective. #loirewine — 7 years ago
Au Flocon de Sel, vin plutôt abordable à 160 Euros en restauration. Parfum concentré et mélange de peche, melon et agrume. En bouche on sent que le vin a commencé à perdre un peu de gras, mais il tapisse toute la bouche par sa texture soyeuse et on y percoit bien la minéralité de ce Blanchot. Les fruits sont encore bien présents e plus des fleurs blanches, des amandes et du pain grillé. Longueur appréciable et belle fraicheur. Accompagne parfaitement la polenta aux champignons, la poêlée de champignon, le biscuit de brochet et la truite. Grand Vin ! — 8 years ago

Biodynamic Pinot Noir without added sulphur. Light, on the fruit, crunchy. Simple, efficient, greedy and digestible. PN Lovers will appreciate for sure !
Pinot Noir nature sans souffre ajoutés et sans le côté fermier parfois malvenu. Léger, sur le fruit, croquant. Simple efficace, gourmand et digeste. — 4 years ago
Au Flocon de Sel. Un premier vin, blanc, pour accompagner les services de fera, ecrevisses, champignons et brochet. Tout simplement délicieux. On y denote des fruits blancs et tropicaux et un peu de miel. On retrouve un petit côté minéral, de pierres. La bouche est ronde, grasse. C’est crémeux et frais à la fois. Le bois se fait encore sentir. Longueur excellente. — 6 years ago
Complexity, refinement and terrific acidity, tangerine marmalade, wildflower honey, apple cider, intense and beautifully textured finish. — 7 years ago
Citrus and stone. Nicely tension through the midpalate. Finished with a sweet turn, perhaps especially noticeable in contrast to the brochet — 7 years ago
Dégorgé: Juin/16, Dosage: 3g/l, Decanted/Burgundy glass, took about 1.5hrs to shine, was tried beside the Brochet, both such outstanding examples of true/pure RM's, the beautiful yogurt intensity that shone through with some air was outstanding. — 9 years ago

On first blush, similar to Ulysse Collin’s Rose. Over time, proved to be less strawberries and cream and more steely. Really firm and dense. Critical to keep at temp to unpack this. Contemplative wine. — 4 years ago
