Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2010 “Virginie de Valandraud” pours a deep purple/garnet color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with powerful notes of cassis, dark brambles, black cherries, cocoa, purple flowers, leather, tobacco, a mix cool and gentle warm spices and earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin (integrated) and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. This is showing really well. Drink now through 2035. — 8 days ago

Got some teeth on it. Very pleasant fruit, red and blue. Chalky tannins. Inexpensive and just fine to drink now.

This is, quite obviously, Caillez-Lemair’s Coteaux-Champenois Blanc. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of lunch at La Briqueterie with Virginie Vanpoperinghe. This is a relatively new offering from Caillez-Lemaire and made in very small quantities. The 2023 pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of yellow apple, pineapple, lemon curd, honeysuckle, and chalky/clay earth. On the palate the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium with lovely minerals. This was an excellent pairing with our lunch. Drink now through 2033. — 2 days ago
