Les Chênes De Macquin

Les Chênes de Macquin

St. Émilion 2012

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

Domaine Latour-Giraud

Clos des Chênes Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Vackert tegelröd i färgen, med skiftningar mot guldbrunt. Hemlagad jordgubbssylt, diskret vanilj och cederträ, begynnande stallighet i doften. Fortfarande ungdomlig, lite kärv fruktighet som drar mot röda vinbär i den initiala smaken. Lätt och elegant. — 9 years ago

Domaine des Comtes Lafon

Clos des Chênes Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 1990

At 1st matchstick and citrus opening into burnt orange, honey, hazelnut, butter cream, has a slightly oily texture, tangerine, lingering nose, very complex and rich. Absolutely a stunner! — 10 years ago

Domaine Ricard

Les Trois Chênes Touraine Sauvignon Blanc 2008

2008, Domaine Vincent Ricard, Les Trois Chenes, Touraine, Sauvignon Blanc. One of my favorite SB. A little past it's prime but still has lots of primary citrus. Touraine is about a 3 hour drive west of Sancerre. Vincent Ricard has a good lineup of wines. I also like his Gamay/PN blend. — 11 years ago

Domaine J. Meuret

Les Chênes Phelps Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir

I was delighted to find Maison Bleue's tasting room in downtown Walla Walla on my last visit, and even more surprised to taste the Domaine J. Meuret Les Chênes Pinot Noir 2013, the inaugural vintage of this label, all of which are single vineyard wines made by Jon Meuret. The quality is outstanding—expressing pie cherries, cranberries, morels and sweet leaf tobacco which fall well below perfumy rose petals and fragrant dried mint. It's weightless and light, with an understory of fine tannins lending structure to grace. — 8 years ago

Domaine des Hauts Baigneux

Les Chênes Azay le Rideau Chenin Blanc 2015

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.
