Côte Rôti is a stunning wine in some hands, like this a blend of Viognier(10%) and Syrah , very elegant with a smoky finish, Domaine Jean-Michel Stephan and of course vin nature. — 10 years ago
Powerful wine needed time to open. Serious material and dry extract with a long freight train finish. Practically ex cellar bottle drunk at the Hosteliere in Chablis with Stephan Moreau. — 10 years ago

Touch of oak. Actually more than a touch. Charred. Oaky. Good fruit. Needs time. All reds here are juicy with great acidity. — 11 years ago

This is a 75/25 Roussanne/Viognier blend from Guillaume Fabre, former assistant to Stephan Asseo of L'Aventure and now winemaker/proprieter of Clos Solene. Discovered this place based on a recommendation from L'Aventure, and the wines are fantastic. This one is drinking beautifully right now - terrific aromas of white flowers, petrol, and honeysuckle - but with enough acidity to keep it alive. Will be posting notes on a red we'll be pouring in a bit, but RUN, don't walk to try these wines. — 10 years ago

God I love old Riesling. Still vibrant at 17 years old, in a mellow sort of way. Electric golden colour, oily, diesel, petroleum jelly, honey-dipped rocks, river spray...so freaking cool. From Richmond Hill Wines, unbelievably $25ish. — 12 years ago
