Good refreshing, Horseneck rec for my parents — 3 months ago
An underrated producer, in my opinion, though my first time with the Heri-Hodie cuvée.
100% Pinot meunièr; perpetual reserve in stainless since 1995; 3g/l dosage; disgorged March 2023
I’ve said it before, but meunièr can really strut its stuff via perpetual reserve/solera style. The natural fruit forward tendency of the grape with the oxidative character of the aging profile marry really well. My benchmarks for this style are Mousse Fils L’Or de Eugene and Delouvin’s Perpetual…both of those show a bit more richness and spiced cider, whereas the stainless steel here provides a brighter lift. Needed a few hours in bottle to open, lots of red apple, yellow citrus and orange zest, and cinnamon aromatically. Trending toward golden apple and pear on the palate, this has a kiss of honeyed richness on the mid-palate before the limestone mineral takes over at the finish. Tasty. — 5 months ago

Tasted over Christmas 2024. My first time trying Pol Roger, and a really great experience – this was a tick above many of the Grandes Marques and I found it to be quite refined. I suspect the dosage is fairly high, since it was so very drinkable, but no complaints from me! — 3 months ago

Just delicious on this outrageously hot evening. Pristinely pure strawberry and cherry fruit on the nose, with a fair whack of crushed rock. Crisp and flavorful in the mouth, with good intensity and freshness. Good acids and an attractive micro-note of bitterness at the tail end. IMHO, well-made Sancerre rose is the pinnacle of rose. — 10 months ago
