Holy. Shit. This is an orgasmic explosion of peppercorn and strawberries. Like a summer-long international love affair with some guy named Francoise. I would write more about this wine, but I fear it would devolve into pornography. Suffice it to say, I need more. — 10 years ago

Crushed flowers on the nose gives way to a pleasant acidic mouthfeel of forest floor, minerals, and kitchen spices. Perhaps some sour cherry if pressed. Minimal oak, moderate tannin. Stood up well to lasagna roll-ups. Be patient and provide a half hour to open for the best experience. — 9 years ago

Went to Rotisserie Georgette and found a lovely bottle of Francoise et Denis Clair St Aubin. Dinner with Protik Basu, with whom I visited the winery in 2013. Nice example of a Primer Cru St Aubin Blanc. May be giving it a nostalgia boost. — 10 years ago
