In 2005 Marie and Frédéric Chauffray came across the perfect plot of land—25 acres on the plateau of Arboras in Terrasses du Larzac, situated in the Langeudoc. They sold the prestigious wine shop they owned outside Paris and embarked upon the dream of making wine, together founding Domaine de La Réserve d'O. Berry fruit and cacao notes. Cherry and mocha with spice and fine tannins. Lingering finish with ending with mineral notes. — 7 years ago

Brought this back from Paris, recommended to me by the shop owner at Les Caprices de l’instant. Delicious, very good expression of gamay/Bojo. Could’ve aged even longer, plenty of fruit. — 4 years ago

I’m partial to Rosé champagne. However, I like this blend of 55% Chardonnay & the rest Pinot Noir quite a lot for the price point. I enjoy their N/V Rosé a little more but, believe this cuvée is a better QPR @ just under $40 over their Rosé.

The nose reveals; lemon meringue/chiffon, lime zest/candy, fresh, juicy mango, green melon, pineapple juice, Bosc pear, grapefruit with pith, green apple, vanillin, cream soda, bread/yeast/dough, hints of nougat w/ nuts, ginger notes, sea fossils, saline, grey volcanics, hints of mint/spearmint, dry herbs, excellent chalkiness, wafting white pepper limestone with yellow flowers/lilies, jasmine and field of spring flowers.

The mouthfeel is rich & lively. High acidity & CO2. Elegance & beauty flow over the palate. Lemon meringue/chiffon, lime zest/candy, fresh, juicy mango, green melon, pineapple juice, Bosc pear, grapefruit with pith, green apple, vanillin, cream soda, bread/yeast/dough, hints of nougat w/ nuts, caramel notes, ginger notes, sea fossils, saline, gritty, deep, palate penetrating, grey volcanics, hints of mint/spearmint, dry herbs, excellent chalkiness, white spice that bring heat on the forefront of the tongue, limestone with yellow flowers/lilies, jasmine and field of spring flowers. The long finish is polished & very well balanced and persists endlessly.

Save a 1/2 glass for a nightcap to pair w/ a Madeleine. 😋

Not sure how I feel about his wine. It's clearly well made and crazy intense but that's the problem it's kinda too intense. I don't think I could finish an entire glass let alone a bottle. It's got everything dialed up to 11. — 7 years ago

Haven’t had this vintage in 5 years., and the extra 5 years of aging makes a difference.

I also had the 1994 exactly a year ago, and it’s even better than that.

Great value considering how aged it is. Smooth. Berry bonanza.

I play a game with my wife where she picks a bottle from my cabinet while I grill a steak (in this case, a 1.25kg dry aged porterhouse) and I blind taste the wine and tell her what it is. We made a bet that if I got the correct bottle (out of over 50) that she had to go and spend $150 on a bottle. If I got it wrong, I couldn’t shop at the LCBO for two weeks (that’s like a year for anyone else).

I guessed old world. Spanish. Approx 10 years old... but thought it was a 2010 Cune Gran Reserva.

Excellent #rioja #riserva that I snagged from a duty free shop at Heathrow Terminal 2. It took just ten minutes in the glass to come alive - earthy but a bit more New World bramble fruit-forward versus what’s typical for the region. I have to say great buy at ~£13 — 5 years ago
