Absolutely stunning. Quite the contrast to the Colombiere, as this is much more serious and structured and the Aux Cras terroir shines through. New oak is more prevalent, of course, but it’s so integrated already and doesn’t get in the way. The nose is incredibly intense and aromas of dark fruit, sweet spice and a wet rock minerality waft from the glass. While this wine is let’s say, more masculine and less sexy than the Colombiere, there is still a seductive Vosne-like perfume that’s so undeniably CLB and lures you in. The palate is powerful and is full of energy, while at the same time remaining focused and seamlessly delineated. To no surprise length is superior to the Colombiere. Totally irresistible now, but boy this will be a knockout down the road. — 3 years ago

Lots of complex aromatics that became even more expressive as the bottle warmed up. Some oxidative notes mixed with bread and flowers. In the mouth this leans to the vinous side. Acid driven which allows it to be consumed through out the meal. Just a hint of bitterness on the finish — a year ago

eye: persistent but not aggressive bubbles, relatively gold in hue, transparent

nose: enticing aroma of pear compote sweetened with honey and very lightly accented with vanilla and citrus

palate: nectarines in cream, very fine bubbles, balancing acidity, no tartness, simple syrup w/ honey and slight mineral accents on the finish — 2 years ago

Millesime 2014 etiquetté sous vin de france mais la qualité elle ne bouge pas. Ce problème d'appellation du a un refus des syndicats de Vouvray. Cette querelle en vers le vigneron ne changeras en rien de la splendeur de ce vin. Belle tention sans de verdeur, belle maturité bref que du bonheur — 9 years ago
