Pale yellow; lemon/lime pith, pungent blossoms, herbal notes, silex, seabreeze with smokey undertones; a citrus, mineral driven, salivating palate with a tacky mouth feel. Grapes on Argile and schist soils. — 7 years ago

The bouquet on the '07 Court de Mautens was remarkably fresher than my previous experience with masses of blue violet florals, currants, dusty black earth, sweet exotic spice, crushed olive, and savory-saline minerality. On the palate it was wonderfully silky and refined, boosting incredible depth and richness to it's fruit, as crushed stone gave way to violet flowers with a center-focused layer of dry extract that coated the senses, before balancing acidity revealed layers of ripe black fruit, plum and hints of white pepper. Sweet tannin saturated the senses throughout the finish, with notes of blackberry, dried plum, and spice lingering. A wonderful performance and just hitting it's optimal drinking window. — 8 years ago

The fruit for this Pinot comes from two of the coolest, most coastal parts of this appellation, linked by the influence of the Pacific’s cool marine air, which delays ripening. Bright Ruby with berry fruit, citrus and warm spice. On the palate, raspberry and cherry, tangy, with cedar notes and earthy tones. Bright acidity, soft expressive tannins, lingering finish ending with woody spice. Very nice, has room to age. — 8 years ago

Wow, real knockout stuff. This is not domestic Muscadet - there's not much in common besides the grape. It has the bright, pure fruit but it is put together in a much fuller style, more like a white Burgundy (minus the oak) than Muscadet. I don't say Chablis because while it's an intensely mineral wine and cranked up to 11 in that department, it's not a marine minerality. The mineral element here is volcanic (and so is the soil), bringing to mind all those cliches about aromas bursting from the glass and so forth, and it's every bit as driving on the palate. — 10 years ago

Ahhhh Cahors. A lot going on here. Dark fruit, spice and meat with a little wild blueberry and chocolate. Elegant- though tannins still evident and a touch of brett adds a layer of authenticity. SUBSTANTIAL. Begging for some beef. Ain't nothin' wrong with aged Malbec from Southern France. — 9 years ago
