JM Tendresse Cour-Cheverny Romorantin 2011

Une magnifique vendange tardive. Pas trop sucrée. Des parfums de fleurs mélangés à des fruits confits. Très étonnant. — 10 years ago

Puzelat-Bonhomme

Vin de Pays de la Loire Romorantin

Wow. I'm not often surprised by a wine, but this is a revelation. Made from a fairly obscure white grape from the Loire, this is made in the "natural" style (e.g., no innoculation of cultured yeast, etc.). This exhibits a singularly unique flavor profile that I can only equate with a hypothetical blend of an aged ribolla gialla and a roussanne. Terrific! — 11 years ago

Reminds me of a good romorantin. Full body, lemony acidity. — 10 years ago

Henry Marionnet (Domaine de la Charmoise)

Provignage Romorantin 2005

Smashing wine. Comparable to aged Chenins like those from Joly but with a gritty, gripping quality that can only be a sign of the vines' age. The 2005 consumed tonight had another 20 years of elegance. Unfortunate that this was our only bottle! — 10 years ago

l'Epicourchois Cour Cheverny Blanc 2011

Silky texture with notes of oxidezed apples and pears with a subtle brown spice and minerality in the finish. Elegant and subtle with great integration of acid. Classy Romorantin — 10 years ago

François 1er Cour-Cheverny Romorantin 2008

Super romorantin avec un peu d'âge, un nez floral et mielleux et une bouche riche et équilibrée qui s'étire longuement. Sautez dessus si vous le voyez en tablettes! — 11 years ago

One of the better Cour-Cheverny wines I've tasted: a statement that says everything but also nothing. Less unpleasantly oxidative than Daridan, more interesting than de Montcy and Cazin and at much frendlier price than Henri Marionnet. For the money I think this is the best that's out there-- Golden apple skin, celery, tarragon. — 11 years ago

There was a library release of Renaissances a few years ago, including '95s and '96es. If you can get your hands on them, they are sensational wines. In their youth they can be a little cloying though, I agree.

I'll definitely have to seek those out. Sounds spectacular.

Within the last year or so, I saw them at Nice Matin and Bathazar for under $100. Not exactly the sort of thing that flies off a shelf.
