Straw yellow in the glass.
Salty preserved Moroccan lemons, flinty, stony and waxy as well. Great balance and freshness, more lemons and green apples, just a kiss of the usual yeast and nuttyness, but nothing overbearing or too funky in this one.

Big deep grapey nose. Tons of granite and blackberry but also red berries as well. A very evocative and encompassing nose. Some pepper, spice and herbs as well. Complex and inviting. Palate is soft and structured with an intense pepperiness. Supple and melty with gorgeous red fruits and also blackberry. Very pure and perfectly balanced with really nice tannins. Excellent wine. — 2 years ago

A nice Gamay that pairs well with chili. Consistent with earlier vintage previously posted. November 2022. — 2 years ago

Sublime Pinot Noir, reminiscent of Coteaux Champinois but lite, ethereal, and with all the herbal freshness of the Jura. So much fun. — 3 years ago

Stellar. Less ripe than most every other Chavignol Sancerre (ie. Pascal or Francois Cotat) - but true to the varietal and terroir. — 5 years ago

Has kept acid levels and vivacity well. Have tried about one per year from this vintage since released and this was the best one yet. I love the Chalonnaise!! — 5 years ago

Dinner white. Nose has granite and gras. Some exotic fruits and so vivid. Hint of reduction. Palate is so engaging. Granitic intensity, so pure and clean and just shimmering. Simple but so well made. Maybe some complexity will develop with air. Solid 9.2 for now. — 2 years ago

Pick this for something approachable and detailed. Pours a definite Syrah and Syrah being particularly idiosyncratic in many profiles, this happens to be a good one. One I like. Fruity and welcoming and just fine before dinner alongside cheese and olives.

Pours slowly - velvet ribbons in crimson purple. Soft and chewy. Singing...songs of raspberry, blackberry, cedar, cinnamon, and spends some time in metallic mineral corner of the periodic table. — 3 years ago

More a traditional white blend than the other cuvées. Still some skins but in the background. Halibut tacos. NV — 5 years ago

Very juicy, fragrant, and nice! My only regret is that I didn't finish it the first night and by the next day it had turned unpalatable. — 2 years ago

Super floral and confectionary. Smells like an elite candy store. But also delicate and nimble. Really almost psychedelic nose. Super. Palate is super juicy and tropical but it’s all in check and framed by terrific acid and freshness. Energy for days. Long finish. Superb showing. — 2 years ago

Great nose of dried red flowers and red fruit. Juicy yet elegant fruit on the palate with an undertone of earthiness. LOVE! — 4 years ago

Quite intriguing, not a style of winemaking I reach for often, but an example of it done well. Minimal extraction and no SO2 with the allure and charm this has can be quite difficult. It’s a little skanky upon first opening, but after a night in the bottle it cleaned up considerably, the brett and VA melted into the wine a little more and its muddled melange of red fruit and earth became apparent. Crushed rainer cherry, decaying strawberries, rhubarb compote, white pepper, sweaty brett. I like blurring the lines between light red and rosé, and the wine worked well with roast chicken w/ spices and poblano mashers night one and fared well with tomato/avocado salad and grilled sardines the next night. That versatility at the table was impressive. — 5 years ago
