2019 vintage. Château La Fleur Cailleau, Canon-Fronsac. Bought in 1982 by Paul Barré (also Château La Garde, Fronsac) and managed these days by his son Gabriel and his wife Edith. Biodynamically farmed since 1990. Very impressive indeed, with an exemplary purity of fruit, ripe tannin and energetic acidity. Highly recommended. Abv. 14,5%. — 2 years ago

Surprising Gamay with a classic and classy style, evoking Burgundy by its light side as much as the northern Cote-du-Rhône by its density. The aging in oak barrels is admirable for the way it supports the fruit without masking it. A beautiful bottle with an aging potential of at least 10 years.

Gamay surprenant au style classique et classieux, évoquant la Bourgogne par son coté léger autant que la cote-du-Rhône nord par sa densité. L’élevage en fût de chêne est admirable par la manière qu’il a de soutenir le fruit sans le masquer. Une belle bouteille avec une potentiel de garde de 10 ans au moins. — 3 years ago

Lovely older Bandol, tree bark, redfruits, still some solid structure in this one, long, lingering finish. — 4 years ago

Very Sherry like with mostly oxidative notes but little acidity from the Chardonnay or Savagnin shining through. — 4 years ago

Excellent! Crispy and bright like top notch Saisons. Fizzy like a Tripel Karmaliet.
Would definitely buy again to share with friends. — 7 years ago

Tiny bit sparkly and almost sweet but not quite. Tannin is present. Well-matured fruity scent. Good light-bodied chardonnay. It’s unoaked. — 2 years ago

‘19 Holden Manx Barrel Fermented Chardonnay. Standout orchard fruits highlighted by peach pit/mango mid palate…not hiding behind toasty new oak. It’s still creamy & round, with just enough acidity to balance. — 3 years ago

Dense, packed, origami-folded white wine, minerals, alpine flowers, laser acidity. Pretty insane how Ganevat can be so prolific yet every wine has so much gravitas. — 7 years ago

Picked up a split of this because all my .375 empties got accidentally thrown out (I use them to store unfinished bottles in the fridge). So I was mostly after the bottle itself but what’s inside happens to be superb—lime, apple and floral notes with fine but not hard edged limestone mineral character, softened perhaps by the clay component of the terroir. I Sancerre-ly enjoyed it! — 4 years ago

Extremely fruit forward. Red plum, black cherry, tobacco/cigar box, and vanilla notes dominate. A truly bold, new world style Tempranillo. Yum! — 6 years ago
