Dark, rich garnet in color. That "noble rot" sauterne smell with lots of savory aromas. Dark fruit and lots of herbs on the palate, with lots of tannins that were pretty smooth and only mildly grippy (after 2.5 hours decanting!). Taking a bottle home to lay down for 6-7 you years, as suggested by sommelier Michael Kwas. Wonderfully paired with lamb ribeye, ratatouille, new potatoes, braised lamb belly, herbs de provence, red wine jus; softened the tannins and brought out the herbs in the wine.

Nice long legs! Dry farming wine. Moderate tannins with a good kick of earthy flavor. Notes of veggies and fermented grass. Would buy again, very memorable. — 5 years ago

Really liked this. Had a sweetness to it but was a balanced and refined sweetness along with minerality. — 6 years ago

Full bodied and complex wine. Notes of blackberry, currant, pepper and floral. Wine feels a bit young even after decanting for 2+ hours. Excited to see what it will be in a handful of years. — 4 years ago

Similar notes to prior bottle opened about one year earlier, but this is showing as fresher and more lively, Yum!

Nose has maraschino cherry, white pepper, dry leather, dried red raspberry, distant barnyard, dried orange peel, granite quarry and dry earth.

Palate has dried cherry, dried raspberry, white chocolate, sweet red pepper, black cherry, old leather with medium acidity. This bottle is showing decent tannins, 3H decant. Enjoy 2022-24, in proper storage.

Our second successful preparation of this dish tonight; chicken, apples and cremé à la normande (cream, onion, mushroom & calvados), Jura looks to accompany cremé & calvados just fine. — 5 years ago

2016. Capsicum and chalk. Quite a hit of new oak that integrates with aeration. A big, structured wine for the vintage. Should have quite a long life. #châteaudebrézé #saumur #cabernetfranc — 7 years ago

Entry-level Chardonnay from 25-35 years-old vines rooted in clay and limestone soils. Aged in oak for 6 months. Fresh, mineral. Hints of yellow apple and yeast on the nose. Tart green apple flavors, saline on the palate. Long, tasty finish. Great wine, incredible value — 4 years ago
