Too bad that more people have discovered the wines of Sylvain Pataille. Still well priced but more competitive to buy them. — 2 months ago
Opened prior to dinner and enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2011 pours a bright gold color with medium+ viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with gorgeous notes of ripe and tart orchard fruit: bruised Golden Delicious apple, lemon drop, marmalade, white flowers, a whiff of clove, Marcona almonds, lanolin and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and the texture is wooly. Weeeeeee!!! A special bottle that’s drinking so well at the moment. Drink now with patience through 2036. — 2 months ago
Vintage 2021 | blind tasted | next to 2021 cab franc to see young and old | this Saumur Champigny has a little stinky nose (positive), mushrooms and stable smell. Very round taste with hint of pepper bell, of course it is a point but still has potential to cellar longer. — a month ago
This was very well balanced. The nose was beautiful with flowers and tropical fruit. Great mouthfeel and not sweet tasting. It was perfect on a hot humid day. — 2 months ago
Unusual wine. Very balanced. Gentle fruit and seamless all through to the finish. — 2 months ago
