Vieilles Vignes Chiroubles Gamay 2013

Свежий, яркий, но насыщенный нос: летучка, лесные ягоды, пастила.
Во вкусе вишня, переходящая в томатный соус, патиссоны . Очень расходится нос и вкус. Развития не наблюдается. Нос на 9.1, вкус на 8.8. Не супер изысканно, но достаточно приятно "попить".

Le Bel Ouvrage Savennières Chenin Blanc 2011

How have I not had this wine in my life before? Leafy green tones, dizzying array of orchard and citrus fruits, all super bright and ripe, fresh mushrooms, ginger candy, fresh soil, wax, and stones. Mouth coating and dense. Acidity is persistent but not searing. Balanced from start to finish. — 9 years ago

A delicious Cru Beaujolais! I've been drinking this for about six years and always like it. Light and with a little funk, but not too much. A winner in the Louis/Dressner stable. — 10 years ago

Have you had the VV? Even better. I don't think we have it, but they probably do at CSW. I think you'd dig it.

Cuvée Tradition Vouvray Chenin Blanc 1997

I decided that lunch with family at a terrific restaurant was a fitting setting for my last bottle of 1997 Pinon Vouvray Cuvée Tradition, a wine that has seen so many family celebrations through the years, and it again performed admirably. This bottle is probably a little past peak, showing a little oxidation, but Chenin handles a little oxidation pretty well as the honeyed stone fruit and minerals seem to absorb it. With the sec tendre sweetness and still lively acidity, it is made for food, and paired brilliantly with a range of inventive and delicious dishes focused on seafood and vegetables, though it worked with a raw beef dish just as well. The wine may be gone, but the memories of it will last for a long time. — 8 years ago

Brut Non Dosé Vouvray Chenin Blanc

Very champagne notes of toast, creme brulee and ripe apples. A little less dry than champagne, with great chenin body. Very nice champagne alternative at an excellent price from Chambers Street. — 10 years ago
