Les Pères Chartreux (L. Garnier)

Chartreuse Verte V.E.P.

Brought to us by the kindly promoter of Musilac festival in Aix Les Bains, about 20 clicks from the Chartreuse monastery. And those monks have some time on their hands; it ain't no thing for them to shut some of this stuff away for 40 years and then be like, oh I wonder how that worked out? Well let me tell you it's sweet, then smooth, then bitter, and when you've had a sip the only thing you're thinking about is taking the next sip. Revelatory. — 10 years ago

Pannonhalmi Apátsági Pincészet

Pinot Noir

San Martinos Hill. Pretty and light smoky fire on the nose. Totally taken aback at first sip, big and softly tannic for such a young wine. Selection of 3 vineyards, 20% of grapes were overripe. One year in 500liter new Hungarian oak, giving it oaky feel. Owned by Benedictine monastery. Lovely wine! There is something very special about a wine that makes you stop the flight because there is no other wine you want to replace in your mouth. Dammit this is one seriously good wine. Nice showing of what younger gen winemakers are doing here. — 9 years ago
