Lots of CO2 in here, so it requires some heavy shaking and/or a long decant. As a general rule, I don't find trousseau to have quite the intrigue that poulsard does, but this one is a little stonier and less simple-fruity (and more structured) than most, with a complexion of cranberry and roses. The fruit unfurls a bit more and picks up a satiny texture once it kicks that CO2, while still having a nice acidic zing. 10% whole cluster according to the importer web page. — 9 years ago
Super delicious drop! Mike Symons (GM/Winemaker) was gracious enough to give me a tour of his operation and cracked this beauty open when we got back to the tasting room. — 10 years ago

A lovely pinot, wonderful balance between fruit and savoury. Slightly smokey characteristics. Not a lot of length but very pleasant wine. 2013 vintage consumed January 2017. — 8 years ago
Wonderful closing night offering in Strasbourg. Stonier than Burgundy pinots -- would have liked to try it with tarte flambee and choucroute instead of haute cuisine. — 10 years ago
2013 Keller Kirschspeil. From mag. Focused & stonier than bottles. Less perfume aromas but still a floral nose with just more stones. — 10 years ago

Super intense on the nose, just starting to show tertiary flavours. Bright red berries, touch of funk and forest floor. — 9 years ago
2013 - Delicious. Subtle oak ageing really brings this wine together. Smooth, buttery, floral, but a freshness and acidity which shows the care of winemaking.
2008 - nice, but not as good as the 2007. rich, some minerality coming through which lingers long after the first sip. A bit flabby.
2007 - much stonier, drier and cleaner on the nose. Lively acidity driven by minerality. Really lovely. — 10 years ago
