Delicious! Balanced between affordable-good American style cab-based red and something more austerely French. Hard for me to guess the grape(s), but is there a touch of cab franc? Has definitely benefited from six years of age. — 7 years ago

When you combine the perfect wine, with the perfect setting, and the perfect company, something magical happens. The 1967 is an amazing bottle of wine. — 7 years ago

Flash tasting; no formal notes. The 2019 “Clos des Chênes” is a light ruby; elegant and lithe with modest structure. Balanced but too youthful at this stage. Better after 2029. — a year ago

Winery notes
Not an easy wine to find, check out K&L

blend of Grenache Blanc, Clairette, and Roussanne, this wine is distinctly floral and lush, exemplifying the quality that the famed Brechet family of Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s Château Vaudieu brings to every wine in their lineup. The Brechet family has an estate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and just across the river from it they own a few small parcels in Lirac. This lovely little wine is at once floral, delicate, and rich, with a surprisingly weighty palate and a round quality on the tongue that enhances its depth. You might think a white from 2015 is a bit on the old side, but this little gem is just hitting its stride. With its couple of added years of age it has mellowed out, creating an almost honeyed quality in the glass that intensifies the complexity and lengthens the finish. It’s simply begging to be paired with a lightly spiced Asian cuisine such as a milder Thai dish or a traditional pork Bahn Mi. — 5 years ago

Hitting way above it’s sub $20 price point. Find me a wine anywhere other than Bordeaux that can do THIS. Wow — 6 years ago

9.0

Woolen, honeyed, pomaceous, herbal, pithy, floral. There’s a lovely smoky flintiness that intensifies with time. Very classic aromatically
with unmistakable limestone/clay terroir, bruised apple, chamomile and lemon pith resonating on the finish. I’m revising my notes because this impressed me more after three days (under basic closure, no argon,
48 F). I still could use a bit more acidity to lift the mid palate, but the ML is not as heavy as I originally thought. — 7 years ago
