Grand vin dégusté en fin de repas. Encore une solide fraîcheur porté par une magnifique salinité. Toujours étonnant pour les amis. Complexe, equilibre superbe, fruits secs, accord etonnant sur clafoutis aux abricots, dingue mais ça fonctionne. — 7 years ago

It's Holiday Season here in Morehead City, NC , and I'm at one of my favorite hangs (Promise' Land Market where the vibe is tres local, coastal, grooviness + Christmas) digging some amazing cheeses, olives, almonds and wine.
Firstly, I posted this wine previously, so this is a double tap with some space in between. Remembering my last experience, I decided to aerate pour into a decanter and on-and-off turbo-twirl for a half hour before jumping jumping in for the swim. That was proper, for sure, as doing so moves this wine up a bit, in my mind, mellowing this front-end tannin bomb , eliminating the raspberry and showing its better blue side, plus adding a little finish. My guess is that the cab franc vintage was less than ideal blurring the merlot and unfortunately squelching what could have maybe been St Emi GC elegance. The rest is my previous post: This GC is maybe a little past it's better time (odd). That written, its Merlot centric main grape charged by a cab franc splash and tempered by what seems to me to be plenty of time luxuriating in classic French oak expressing blueberry & vanilla on the nose contrasted by rabbit tobacco (earth connection complimenting country elegance) seems classic St Emi GC.
After that initial nose-hit of earth, spice, blue fruit and vanilla, it starts to slip, as the tannins grab somewhat roughly (perhaps a death grip) in one's front mouth cutting things short and masking the expectation of a rather brilliant nose turning what starts as blueberry and spice to a tannic squeezing raspberry mouth with zero finish - a shame.

I am not in agreement with what has been posted on this label: good body, darker than usual left bank Bordeaux, perfect oak derived smokiness and very little tannin for a young bottle. One of the best I have had at an amazing price - paid for it about 30 euro at the Carrefur grocery store in Sallanches, France!

Cave producteurs Montlouis, this is the 'tendre' type, is excellent to combine with food, such as asian dishes. Underrated. — 9 years ago

As the winemaker states, in perfume-making the term "accord" refers to the balance between top, middle and base notes. This PG achieves such an accord, with green apples and honeysuckle up front, a surprisingly delicate body, and a smooth fizzy floral finish. The bouquet is slightly citric. I paired it with Greek salad with shredded chicken and egg, and a side of quesadillas. — 10 years ago
