It’s a very rich style chardonnay, but it’s unapologetically delicious. Professional scores have it as high as 97 and the purity of fruit along with the deft use of french oak and balanced acidity are certainly deserving. It strikes a nice balance even with everything amped up and an alcohol level of 14.6%. Only 326 cases made, if you see a bottle in the wild drink it! — 6 years ago

Cuvée de la Pompadour is 58% Pinot Noir and 42% Chardonnay, named for Madame de la Pompadour, Louis XV's great paramour, and she introduced sparkling wine to the court at Versailles, famous for having said, "Champagne is the only wine that a woman can drink and remain beautiful." Salmon color with aromas of red fruits and spices. On the palate fresh strawberry and raspberry flavors with cinnamon spice and toasty oak. Well balanced with acidity the wine finishes with citrus and honey notes on a long ending. — 9 years ago

(2010) 18/20 Концентрированный аромат чёрных ягод с отчётливой животной нотой. Тельность вина выше среднего, кислотность высокая, таннины интенсивные. Вкус ягодный, переходящий в послевкусии в травянистый настой. Очень хорошо! — 11 years ago

Aerate at least an hour, if you are not used to natural wines. Beautiful dark dress. Rich Malbec nose: plum-like black fruits, fatty animal notes of leather, floral and herbaceous touches. Palate: fresh and juicy, supple with volume. The first sips suggest a short wine; but finely chopped tannins unfold and well with a return to fresh fruit. A very fine thirst-quenching wine, both accessible and deceptively simple.
Aérer au moins une heure, si vous n’êtes pas habitués des vins natures. Belle robe sombre. Nez riche de Malbec: fruits noirs type Prune, notes grasses animales de cuirs, touches florales et herbacées. Bouche: fraîche et juteuse, souple avec du volume. Les premières gorgées laissent croire à un vin court; mais des tanins finement ciselés se déploient et bien avec un retour sur les fruits frais. Très beau vin de soif, à la fois accessible, et faussement simple. — 5 years ago
