Les Ménétrières is a one-hectare, southeast-facing vineyard with one third of the vines 40-years-old, one third 20-years, and a third are 10-years which are planted on shale in the upper half of the vineyard and pearly slabs in the lower half. The soils here are composed of alluvial deposits, layered with a sub-soil consisting of limestone and limestone marl streaks, with top layers rich in stone-free limestone deposits and light marls. These mineral rich soils greatly reflect in the 2012, which shows gorgeous streaks of minerality woven together with stunning aromas of Asian pear, white peach, lemon zest, almond, smoke, saline and a spicy floral character. It continues to impress as it expands on the palate with its lovely oily texture, which is beautifully cut by wonderful acidity that carries on through the delicious, mineral laced finish. Today, the Les Ménétrières seems to be the most complete and compelling wine I have tasted from the Domaine in this vintage. It is already showing tons of character and I only expect it to further evolve in the bottle — 6 years ago

If you think there's a better wine for a warm summer day, please tell me immediately. This is how I like whites - decent, dry apple/citrus fruitiness with a crisp finish and a little zest hanging around to keep you interested. Oh, and this thing has a little bubbles to it! Maybe half as much as your average prosecco (or even less) but definitely a little carbonation for a little extra texture. Wish I had discovered this earlier! Drank while finishing up some late work on a Friday and before going out for the night, but this would work equally as well at 2:30pm hanging out under an umbrella near a pool.

Do yourself a favor and Google/Wikipedia the origination of this wine, if they can ever increase production it's going to displace the generic proseccos and cavas of the U.S. market. — 7 years ago

If you like crisp, austere mineral-driven whites (think Chablis 1ere Cru or a very fine Alto Adige), you'll love this wine.

Unfortunately, unless you live in, or visit, Chile you won't find it. Only sold in country and too small production for export (6 hectares for 4 types) of grapes, this is a great excuse for a pilgrimage to Chile's surreally beautiful Pisco del Equi Valley. — 9 years ago

Elegant and rich apple-flavored Chardonnay. Delicious and the best Pouilly-Fuisse I have had. It also has a great nutty flavor. No butter or toast flavors. Very clean and bright. — 7 years ago

Here's a finely balanced #bourgogneblanc that drinks so pleasantly by itself - touch of oak, good acid, a bit more fruit forward but still some steely minerality. It's a really versatile pairing wine - believe it or not, it paired well with some mild enchiladas and refried black beans, with that brightness and fruit cutting through the richness of the cheese and beans.

Such a surprise! Still a Cava but with a great opulent complexity as a good champagne.
I knew Recadero was perceived among the best Cavas. But this Extra Brut 2010 was by far a top one. A great price/quality too!
