Eolithe Saumur Cabernet Franc 2015

Enjoyed this 95 CF 5 CS blend from Saumur. Classic mineral backbone was present, just enough punch, but the best was its rounded and elegant texture that manifested on the palate. Not devoid of character, not sterile by any means, but just a classic Loire CF that decided to dress up for the evening and showed well. Clean, layered, downright drinkable — 8 years ago

I had to send a bottle out because it was floral. "But Madame, it is called Fleur de Whatever, you ordered it"
You are absolutely right, I'm guilty, but bring me a totally new one please.

Young. Tight. Needed decanter time, then opened up and wrapped around porcini crusted halibut and pea risotto in the best way. I could drink this by the gallon, if only I could get gallons of this. :-) — 11 years ago

La Marginale Saumur-Champigny Cabernet Franc 2022

Really an excellent cab franc. Have had stuff from Thierry Germain before but not this bottling. Perfect with a variety of Syrian dishes at Damas in Montreal. Bright, restrained fruit, excellent acid. Nice finish. — a year ago

Domaine aux Moines

Savennières-Roche aux Moines Chenin Blanc 2010

2010, Domaine AuxMoines, Savennieres- Roche Aux Moines, Chenin Blanc. Tart apple, pear and a little Myer's lemon. Acid and minerality. 14.5 alcohol but so well balanced I didn't notice. A hint of oxidation but a wine that I will definitely buy again. — 12 years ago

Château de Brézé

Clos du Midi Saumur Chenin Blanc 2020

Aged 50% in stainless steel and 50% in old Burgundian barrels. Pale lemon with aromas of citrus, stone fruits and herb notes. On the palate flavors of green apple, pear and lime citrus with notes of pepper and herb spice. Medium+ finish, chalky, vivid acidity and ends with mineral spice. Nice! — 2 years ago

I jad given up after the 2004, but will revisit, you must know I used to like them so much I even went there to visit...fyi I am not the only person who thinks they had problems starting around 2004. I will trust you that things have changed..or we maybe disagree on their wines a bit ?
