Tawny, buzzing with bass notes on the Riesling spectrum, and bone dry as a glorious shipwreck, this is a Riesling wanting wild mushrooms, or sea urchin, or umami laden smoked seafood. A great, highly versatile food wine and a good candidate to stump tastebuds as to the varietal in a blind tasting. It is more like a Savennières Chenin, with that sense of walnuts, than most Rieslings out there. I'm excited to follow these cats! — 10 years ago

This burg is good by, fair bit of wood on nose but very well integrated on palate, plenty of terroir too... Smoke, cinnamon dried meat, old tree stump, and big dark blackberries and minerals, very nuit-st-georges in style. Palate is suave and fresh but real ripe as well, spicy blackberries and roots abound, some wood on finish but plenty of fruits as well, a warm earthiness and plenty of concentration for $50 in burgundy. Well made and priced black wine of burgundy, delicious. Reg $36 on sale for 27$, not a lot of acid but enough in a ready to drink style. 2011 vintage. — 10 years ago
Have you ever heard of a Pinot styled cab/merlot?? Well this is it. so light it would stump you in a blind tasting, good smokiness and red berries. I can say if drink quite a few bottles of these happily. — 11 years ago

Light and refreshing. I don't care for wines that are too sweet or dry, so this fit the bill. — 10 years ago
Best Procence rouge I had hands down! Went to tasting room and had "to buy to try". Worth the 38 euros. It a single varietal that will stump you. Not cinsault or mouved...what is it?! — 10 years ago

One of my favorite wines to play "stump the chump" with, with fellow wine nerds. Grenache Gris and Carignan Blanc whatwhat? — 10 years ago

need to stump a #wine nerd? ask: which 'other' grapes allowed in #Champagne Answer: super-rare Meslier, Arbanne, Pinot Blanc, the 3 grapes in gorgeous Ariston Aspasie "Cepages d'Antan". Nectarous nose, zippy-minerally taste - quaffed, by necessity, in plastic cups on a #Paris bus
