Cave du Vieux-Moulin (Romain Papilloud)
Amandoleyre Fendant Grand Cru 2022
Pours a lemon yellow with slight effervescence which dissipated quickly. Aromas of tart lemon, salt spray, alpine wildflowers. Body on the lighter side of medium, tart citric fruit and saline finish. Somewhat simple, finish is medium. A nice wine, but could do better for the price. — 2 months ago
Domaine de la Solitude
Châteauneuf-du-Pape White Rhone Blend 2024
Pours a golden yellow with some viscosity. Aromas of bruised yellow apple, pear, apple tart, honeysuckle, chamomile, vanilla. On the palate, it is fresh and vibrant for a southern Rhône white. There is a mouth coating texture, with flavors of ripe orchard fruits, mango, pineapple, crème brûlée. There is good restraint here at 13.5 abv, and good acidity. I think that it is pretty harmonious now and would drink within 1-3 years, however the acidity might allow longer aging. Good stuff. — a month ago

Not bad for a grocery store find. Nice range of cherry, turned earth, a little blackberry and cherry liquor. The pleasure is in the aromatics, where it gained some nice floral intensity (rose petals) over 2 hours. Acidity is moderate plus, and a bit tart. Length is medium. A nice wine. — 4 days ago
