Cuvée de la Pompadour is 58% Pinot Noir and 42% Chardonnay, named for Madame de la Pompadour, Louis XV's great paramour, and she introduced sparkling wine to the court at Versailles, famous for having said, "Champagne is the only wine that a woman can drink and remain beautiful." Salmon color with aromas of red fruits and spices. On the palate fresh strawberry and raspberry flavors with cinnamon spice and toasty oak. Well balanced with acidity the wine finishes with citrus and honey notes on a long ending. — 9 years ago

(2010) 18/20 Концентрированный аромат чёрных ягод с отчётливой животной нотой. Тельность вина выше среднего, кислотность высокая, таннины интенсивные. Вкус ягодный, переходящий в послевкусии в травянистый настой. Очень хорошо! — 11 years ago
It’s a very rich style chardonnay, but it’s unapologetically delicious. Professional scores have it as high as 97 and the purity of fruit along with the deft use of french oak and balanced acidity are certainly deserving. It strikes a nice balance even with everything amped up and an alcohol level of 14.6%. Only 326 cases made, if you see a bottle in the wild drink it! — 6 years ago

Purchased at the winery, a favorite on a recent visit to the RRV. Spells like fresh plum and blackcherry, with a sweetness to the fruit. Sage, dried herbs, and baking spices too. On the palate, red fruit shines - cranberry and bing cherries. There’s a crunchy minerality that leads to a bright finish. Don’t get me wrong, this is new world Pinot, but shows restraint and balance. — 6 years ago
