Smooth and really good! — 8 months ago
Popped and poured; no formal notes. As a long-time admirer of Laurence's Cuvée Réservée Rouge, this was my first time trying her Blanc. Admittedly, I have often struggled with white wines from the Rhône as they too often lack the acid I want. This is partly why I haven't made it a priority. However, I've had some very impressionable moments with well-aged Hermitage Blanc so I have remained open minded. Which leads me to this bottle of 2021 Cuvée Reservée Blanc; a blend of mostly Clairette with some Grenache blanc, Bourboulenc and a touch of Roussanne. From the very first smell, I was convinced that I had been clearly missing out. Beautifully perfumed with white flowers, cantaloupe, apricot and just a little citrus. This was so fresh, so sexy. It was equally sexy on the palate where all the notes were packaged in the most delightfully silky texture. The finish was long. It should be noted that we paired with rainbow trout, zucchini, summer squash topped with yuzu tobiko. This pairing slapped. Based off this experience, I would drink these now. That's not to say that they will be undrinkable with a few more years of age but I guess, why wait? The freshness is awesome and super compelling right now. — 2 years ago

Lovely and very drinkable. Not the most complex, but achieves a delicious honey flavor without being too sweet. 🍯 ❤️ — 4 months ago

Solid Napa Cab. Good fruit, slightly thinner than I’d hoped for but would buy again. — 4 months ago

Dark purple-red color, redfruits and some mineral notes as well, fine balance, good acidity, much more evolved than the 2005, seems to be close to mature, though I’d guess it will hold here for 5 more years, long, lingering finish, excellent. — a month ago
