Nose is high toned with red and black cherry. Very pitty. Ripe but also a serious granite underlining. Very refined for 15. Good berry fruit almost cassis as well. It’s very clean and pure. Palate is complex, deep and juicy with really terrific tannins and mouthfeel. It’s tannins are so special and sweeten out on the finish. Long. Exceptional balance and purity. Love how this is like Bordeaux meets Gamay. A bit hot. I can any other vintage this being not hot and I’d have a higher score. It’s all there except the heat. — 7 years ago

Sometimes I have to force myself to buy a white that isn't Loire Valley Chenin ( but without actually leaving the Loire Valley, because that would be crazy.) This Cour-Cheverny made me glad I did. I've only had Romorantin a few times prior, but I loved the tart acidity balanced by a great saline minerality. — 9 years ago

Chateauneuf du pape, la cour des prélats, grenache blend, 2023
Very youthful chateauneuf with a majority of grenache, at least from what I sensed on the nose. No real notes, wine that I brought to a halloween party at friends' — 2 years ago

90% Pinot Noir, 10% Gamay. Biodynamic. A light wine with beautiful aromas of red berries acidulous type currant, raspberry. with a good decantation this wine deploys rich and varied nuances, it is absolutely necessary to do it to appreciate it at its fair value. that's wonderful ! well done — 7 years ago

A tiny, south facing and protected parcel of 80 year old vines, “Champ de Cour” typically shows its quality even when young and this bottle was no exception.

Double-decanted two hours prior to service; enjoyed over the course of three hours. The 2020 “Champ de Cour” pours a deep ruby/purple with medium+ viscosity and light staining of the tears. The nose evokes fresh cut roses in the greenhouse (yes, a touch funky), strawberry (with the leaves), the purple Fun Dip, granite earth, green herbs, and decomposing wood. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and grippy. Fresh, ripe and rustic. I love these wines from Thibault. As I eluded to earlier, I find these drink much better than the VV young. The VV needs about 7 years to really start strutting. Drink this now with some patience and through 2030. Thanks Andy! — 2 years ago

Golden apples, bruised pear, gardenias, almonds, honeysuckle, saline, smoke. Rounded acid, medium-plus body, juicy-oily texture, crisp floral-stone fruit-honeyed finish.. Delicate aromatics unfolds nicely into rich texture, mineral driven, highly food friendly. Recommended for Chenin lovers.
