My, is this gorgeous. Reads very much like a Chinon on the nose and makes an excellent case for the variety in Stellenbosch. But as intellectually satisfying as it is, it’s a sheer pleasure to drink. — 6 years ago

Medium bodied refined Chinon, only slightly green and accompanied by a whole cabinet of baking spices and some fresh berries and a mineral finish. Lithe and light for cab franc. Still a little tight on the palate, probably best to wait 5 years but showing well enough now, especially the beautiful aromatics. This is not lush cab franc but rather great to accompany more delicate dishes. — 9 years ago

I had to carefully decant this, as it had a lot of that light, floaty sediment that starts zooming around if you even look at the bottle the wrong way. It’s got a light color, and loads of tangy cherry/ berry fruit, accented by a musky floral note and some stony minerality. In the mouth, it’s quite fluid and gulpable. Bone dry, but with nice pure fruit and lingering minerality. Deceptively complex. — 7 years ago

Just delicious. Fresh with tons of strawberry. Silky with a sweet red fruit core. Beautiful wine. — 10 years ago
Lafarge is doing great work here. Nose is closed but still so pretty. Kinky raspberry, smoke, granite, and very floral. Roses and violets. The palate is so delicate with great grip and intensity. Juicy and complex with outrageous fruit and structure. Sappy and pure with lovely cherry/cassis fruit that is super precise. Such a lovely pitter patter of tannins on the finish. Really well made wine. — 6 years ago

Ripe pear, honeysuckle, steel, and lime. Balanced with a nice weight and charming aromatics. — 10 years ago
Juicy deliciousness. Loads of complex, mineral notes, it seems different every time I breathe in the aromas. Sandalwood, cherries, and flint. Cassis, rhubarb and wet granite on the palate, long finish, great now but will age if one can resist temptation. Vive la France! — 11 years ago
Classic Chinon here. Maybe a little green. Definitely some green olive notes present. Loved this wine. — 13 years ago
