After a very disappointing 2014 Les Preuses for lunch wanted to make sure I hadn’t lost faith in Piuze. So tried this for dinner and this time from a perfect wine cellar 😀. This a quite a different bottle, saline, pear, flint and medium weight. The 2014 was a fluke😀 — 5 years ago

Lush and delicious - stainless steel and concrete keep this honest, fruit driven and energetic. Still has a full almost creamy mouthfeel but driven by crystalline orchard fruit, smoky minerals, and piercing citrus acidity. Fresh, drinkable, but complex and worthy of pairing with a great meal. — 7 years ago

$210, yes. Thankfully no signs of pre-mox. Slightly honeyed, reductive / gun flint nose that faded with air to smoke. Lime zest, peach, orange blossom, integrated smoke on palate. Great minerality and acidity, impressively long finish. Likely reaching peak soon. — 7 years ago

One of the better incarnations of Melville’s stainless steel-fermented chardonnay. Aromas of lemon peel, candied melon, and a trace of flint. Terrific acidity, with a nice evolution of flavors on the palate that serve to fill the wine out. Surprisingly lingering finish given the degree of acidity, which suggests to me that this wine is going to be very interesting for quite a few years. Great job by the team at Melville! — 7 years ago

Such a tease, showing only momentary signs of an incredible aroma as the night progressed. Flowers, peach, quince, and toasty lemons come of mind. Even after a good 2 hour decant, the wine was still so tightly knitted. Not much fruit and full on flint as the name suggest. Searing acidity, lovely texture. Not fully convinced, but it sure does have great potential. — 8 years ago

Laser beam to my Chardonnay pleasure center. Such focused orchard fruit, flint and sappiness , with a hint of salinity. Reductive (surprise!) upon opening, much more giving with a couple hours in the decanter. Every time I question the QPR of white Burgundy, Roulot reels me back in. Thanks, @Evan Vallee. I need a winning lotto ticket or something... — 9 years ago

Flint & Steel adds a crisp flinty backbone to classic Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc. A lovely nose of honeysuckle, peach and grapefruit rind is followed by flavors of mango, kiwi, lemongrass & freshly squeezed grapefruit. The wine is medium bodied with a smooth and refreshing finish. — 11 years ago

Lovely deep fruit. Very intense and coiled steel with buckets of minerality and drive. There’s a whiff of stewed apple here. I see premox on the horizon, but this is fun now. Should be better in 5 years but certainly not this bottle. — 7 years ago

Light honey, lime,flint. Quite reticent and reductive despite time in decanter. Lovely quality of fruit and acidity. Still very young but this should be a classic over the next decade. — 7 years ago

My favorite white wine from Coppola's! 100% Viognier, single-vineyard. Fully stainless steel so nice and crisp. Tropical fruit flavors up front of pineapple, green apple, with a little mango and guava. Very refreshing! Chill this one and enjoy it on its own. — 9 years ago

Very Rhonelike. Sweaty feet on the nose, transitioning to barnyard and smoked meat on the palate. Medium to full bodied, but I wish it had a bit more weight. Fantastic, but not for everyone. This needs to be your thing. — 10 years ago

Fresh citrus & apple opening which becomes shorter over time and is replaced every half hour by subtle mid flavours ranging from extreme brioche, white pepper and nuts to flint. First ever, glad it didn’t disappoint! — 7 years ago

As the Victorians would have said, a real stunner. In a great place right now, initial blast of elderflower upon uncorking. Further oxidation brings out the classic flinty notes and lush creaminess of premium Sancerre. Slightly faded golden brocade. Flint, citrus, blossoms on the nose. Vibrant acidity. Just gorgeous work. — 8 years ago

Extremely layered but delicate nose lets you know you are in for a treat. There's no kick of gooseberry or cat pee, funk or wool. Instead, a great balance between the signature gun smoke, flint and lit match, layered with extra clean lemon, lime, and grapefruit. Palate is rich and round, full of citrus fruit and a stream of acidity. — 9 years ago
