In magnum, following a Pinot, had some brett when opened. Fruit was there but had dried out some. Bordeaux is generally not my favorite but this held its own, might have been appreciated better by a francophile in a less hectic environment. — 8 years ago

Perfect way to celebrate Cheltenham winning the league! Crisp, with perfect minerality. Very drinkable — 9 years ago

This wine tastes like coffee and fruit which is everything the general public hates about coffee. Oh, the humanity. As a roaster and Francophile, I approve. — 10 years ago

The 2013 was just bottled, so is a bit restrained, but the great Boushey grapes are clearly there, as is the crisp, refreshing, francophile winemaking.

2012. This bottle inspired this Francophile to drink nothing but Italian for a week. — 8 years ago

The Francophile American friends were not impressed, but Francois and I are much more open minded. — 9 years ago

A Grenache- Mourvèdre blend with heavy red fruit and bright acid that's perfect for the Californian Francophile. So versatile, could drink with almost anything. — 10 years ago

This is wine to pour for those last remaining Francophile snobs who think they will never enjoy a bottle from --GASP --outside of France or surrounding vineyards. I know, there are thankfully not so many of these people left, but the point is, this tastes like a classic, pre-oakification, totally quaffable " let's have this with some rich, wintery food" sort of beverage. If you don't like this, we will have to find something else to talk about.

My dad, a big Francophile, picked his wine and drinks it a lot. Love it! — 8 years ago

I've been super into beaujolais lately because I'm a unashamed hipster, francophile and nerd for natural wine. This fulfills all of those urges but isn't without fault. Tons of dark berry flavors and plum. Finishes dry with a almost completely round smooth feel. Nearly too smooth. Not tons of carbonic or weird notes which is probably good for the rest of us. I could see some people getting excited about this that are in to California Pinot or even CDR. — 9 years ago

1999 Vintage. WOW!! I'm a Francophile, and bought this in my younger days after visiting Napa. 2nd bottle opened in a month. Same impression. I can't imagine Sauvignion Blanc tasting any better! Totally blown away. Worth the 15 yr wait!!! I guess the Reds will be next..... — 10 years ago

Wonderful wet earthy floor with mushrooms and must. Minor woods with 10 layers of nuance. Drank it with a '94 Harlan. Harlan was gorgeous but one dimensional compared to the cos. I am an unrecoverable Francophile when it comes to wine. — 11 years ago
