A grand cru BdB that’s usually a blend of 2 vintages. The latest release is 66% from 2018 and 34% from 2017.
Nice mix of stone fruit and citrus fruit, bread dough, white flower, and light ginger spice on the aromatic nose. Would like a bit more entry on the soft delicate palate. 5g/l dosage is about right for my taste. — 8 months ago
Heavy and dense but feral wine. Amazingly still needs time which I did not anticipate when ordering for happy hour with a colleague. Would love to check back in 5-10. — 4 years ago
Terrific value Southern Rhone. Bursting with aromas of white flowers and honey backed by a racy combination of lime juice, cardamom, ginger, and minerals. Beautiful lingering finish that echoes the honeyed citrus and spice aromas. — 2 months ago

Green apple, pineapple, minerality and a lovely waxiness. It's clean with a sweet acidity and notes of stone fruit. Really delicate and something I'd happily drink again and again! — 4 years ago
A classic, polished Champagne that delivers both charm and depth. Bright notes of green apple, lemon zest, honey, and brioche unfold with every sip. Fine bubbles and vibrant acidity keep it fresh and elegant throughout.
There’s a lovely balance of orchard fruit, floral hints, and that signature toasty croissant finish from bottle aging. Versatile and food-friendly, great with seafood, seared white meats, or simply on its own as a celebratory aperitif. 🎉🍏🥂 — 3 months ago

WA Review 95 points ( dense and structured, yet still vibrant and very pure, the 2007 Abelard is 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah. Loaded with deep blackberry and black cherry fruit, licorice, crushed stone and hints of roasted herbs, it is full rich and concentrated, with knockout precision and focus. It is serious stuff and still a baby. Drink it over the coming decade)
96 points for me since it’s aged very well. — 7 days ago
