Holy cow, what a home run! This my friends its the taste of terroir. Dense and muscular, with a focused minerality that is keeping the beat.
Despite its youth it is very expressive and not holding back on its complexity. François Cotat La Grande Côte, a marvelous piece and an act in the magic of wine.
Pronounced intense aromas with a layered depth Lemon juice, kiwi, boxwood, dandelions almost reaching towards honey with a prominent Limestone mineraliy that is keeping the beat.
High piercing acidiy that cuts through the smooth and ripe edges. Dense and athletic on the mid palate with a layered complexity, salty backbone as it expands before closing up in a long tightening finish. — 4 years ago

Corny wife made my son wear corny hat on his 21st but we made up for it with a great birth year champagne. Trying to have fun during these scary times. — 5 years ago

Mythical, mysterious, magic. This started with nuts and mushrooms, only pithy lemon for fruit. After it opened up for 30 minutes it really came to life! Pitted fruits, bright and very much alive. It was a pleasure at the table, really extenuating all the flavors from the kitchen. #onlygreatbottles

Denis Varnier is one of my favorite producers in the Cote de Blancs/Avize. His passing was tragic but the magic of his work lives on in these bottles and Thanksgiving seemed like an appropriate time to enjoy one. Classic Avize power but this cuvée always has a real mineral cut to it. This was gorgeous with air, balance of pure orchard fruits, rocks, and earthy elements like mushroom and fresh cut hay. Another facet I love in these wines is the texture, there’s room for interpretation, but you cannot get around the lengthy imprint these leave on your palate. 100 CH from “Clos du Grand Père,” 5 years sur lie, 9/2014 disgorgement — 7 years ago

So good! Nose is unmistakable but I don’t have words for it. Texture plays between deep and lithe at the same time. Selosse has a magic touch.

Magic. Such a pure expression of Grenache, somehow maintaining ripe fruit without succumbing to hot, raisinated booziness. At a nice point in its evolution. — 9 years ago
