I keep coming back to this one. Had it with a spicy chicken and broccoli stir-fry while listening to a live recording of Radu Lupu playing a Bach prelude & fugue (BWV 867). Each made the others more enjoyable. — an hour ago

BANG. Found my Paris wine store — Mi Fugue Mi Raisin. Let’s listen to baroque and paint watercolor and drink the shit out of this wine. — 6 years ago

A true cab! I was impressed with the complexity of the finish. Very dramatic. Lots of fruit, solid tannins and great mouthfeel. If this were music, I'd describe it as having robust highs, mids and lows. It's the Tocatta and Fugue of reasonably priced cabs. Worth your consideration. — 9 years ago

Rich, ripe plummy Merlot fruit with a nice, subtle overlay of oak and wet clay on the nose. Full in the mouth, the flavors are straightforward and pretty clingy. Bit of peppery alcohol on the finish detracts a bit. — 5 months ago

Slightly effervescent. Sharp, acidic, fresh, bright. From Mi Fugue Mi Raisin (1 of 7) — 6 years ago

1997 vintage. A blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot and 18% Cabernet Franc. The most humble of the Domaines Delon stable ( Léoville Las Cases, Clos du Marquis, Nénin) is showing incredibly well at 27 years old. Showing its age more in the nose than in the taste, but actually improving with decanting ( thanks broken cork!). Still good fruit, with refreshing acidity and a good grip of soft tannin. Very good length too. Still worth seeking out from a well-stored bottle. — a year ago

Deep ruby color with brick rim. Well developed wine with vibrant rich aromas of fruits, wood, trufel, spices and tertiary notes: gouache color. Invisible tannins. Elegant, balanced complex wine. Château Nenin is considered one of the better wines in Pomerol. Estate belongs to Delon since 1997 (owns Château Potensac & 2nd growth Château Leoville-Las Cases). 32 ha vineyard: Merlot 78%, CabFr 21%, CabS 1%. Château Nénin is the epitome of a great Pomerol "vin de garde" (wine for laying down). Rating 4,3/5 — 7 years ago

Escapade 2014 - France Gonzalvez

On prend du plaisir à boire l'Escapade. On se voit bien partir avec, pour destination, la ligne d'horizon. Partir pour de bon, pas pour quitter ceux que l'on aime, mais plutôt pour s'offrir un moment hors du temps. Casser le rythme, s'affranchir des impératifs, se soustraire à la gravité, au propre comme au figuré. On rêve tous un peu de ça, non ? Ce soir, c'est France Gonzalvez qui est aux manettes. Décollage !

Ce 100% Chardonnay est bien le moteur de ce périple. Le nez annonce la douceur : agrumes, tilleul et acacia, verveine et fleurs blanches sur une pointe de beurre et une note finale sur la noisette. En bouche : aucune trahison, tout s'inscrit dans la continuité, c'est vif mais pas sec, c'est long, c'est suave, avec une touche légèrement minérale. On aimerait vous en dire plus mais notre bouteille est déjà vide. Mince, tout cela n'était donc qu'une fulgurante fugue.
