Small bubbles. Nuts Citrus Creamy. Elegancy. champagne renard barnier brut cuvee speciale @1300/G(6900), Echezeaux, 241011 — 9 months ago
Returning in 2018 after 2017 was wiped out by frosts, this is an intense, wild 2018 Buisson Renard, like an untamed head of curls. In clear evidence at this early stage, it has floral and boxwood characters and a nutty oak-derived influence. There's even an intriguing note of peppermint on the sinewy, lengthy finish. In a mid-weight, linear style with a firm, phenolic finish that almost requires knife and fork. This needs more time in bottle to shed its austere frame, but if you're not in a hurry...

The delectable description is wrong, this is 50/50 Grenache/ Syrah. Very yummy. Dark red fruit, some spice/pepper. Full bodied, complex. — 4 years ago
Yes, the 2002 is indeed delicious without that metallic Notes marring the ’03. Complex, earthy but light on its feet, just what you want for a Burg! Oh wait, the others are au Renard — 3 years ago
