There is a lovely roundness to the green & yellow fruit here, that kind of old barrel character, that comes through on the palate, very smoothed off edges — 10 years ago
Occasionally wine is a gateway through which you access the past. Normally rose tinted and pined for so the wines that trigger it are probably beyond objective evaluation. Holidays and memories are within this wine's range. Violets, white flowers - heady and ethereal on the nose. The palette finds these flavours diaphanous and wisp-ish but also laced with cassis and Vit C. Juicy and crisp on the short lip-smacking finish. Close your eyes and your somewhere else. Eyes open or closed this wine lifts you and reminds you why you drink it. — 11 years ago

Just right for drinking with lamb chops Easter Sunday with Alex. Almost 20 yrs ago we visited the cellars there in Chateauneuf, met one of the Brunier brothers, and Alex (7) had the run of the chais, peeking out from behind the barrels occasionally, Brunier professed to admire my fractured French. A lovely wine to kindle happy memories! Not Telegramme, but la Crau! — 9 years ago

My oh my oh my. Let me first try to describe this as objectively as I can before I start babbling in tongues about why it's awesome. So, okay, we'll start with the color, which is somewhere between a rosé and a pale red. That's as good a portent as any for what you get when you taste it, which is this ethereal, gossamer, lacy thing that would probably flutter to the earth even slower than a feather if it were a solid object. It has a sense of freshness and light without being overtly fruity, i.e. it features the freshness and essential perfume of the fruit without the sweetness or fat. It has a minerally element too, subtle (though everything about this is subtle) but clearly reminiscent of gravelly rock pulverized to an ultrafine powder (everything about this is ultrafine). The word "finesse" is a cliché, ditto for "ethereal," but ultimately that's what's so awesome about this. I have had a lot of disappointing German pinot noir, even from highly regarded producers, and they never turn out to be what you think German pinot noir ought to be (i.e., as clear and pure and transparent as riesling, with all that cool-climate lightness). Somehow some of them turn out to be big fat Sonoma pinot lookalikes, which I will never understand. This is not like that. I am really at a loss to think of anything from anywhere to compare this to that so effortlessly pulls off such a vivid personality out of material so fine it only barely seems to have a corporeal existence, and not a flaw or seam to be seen in the way it is all put together. I can think of a Jura pinot that was in the ballpark (the '08 Chais des Vieux Bourg) and the weight and physical presence bring to mind something like Coteaux Champenois or the Dirty & Rowdy reds, but as far as I am concerned this is sui generis. There are aspects that bring to mind all sorts of things but it really needs its own frame of reference. It is profound but not in the same way that grand cru Burgundy is profound; it's a brilliant soloist, not a symphony, almost minimalist in its simplicity and tranquility, best paired with your favorite easy chair and some quiet moments. — 10 years ago
