Sorry. Just noticed the top line on the label. Chapoutier has been doing other joint ventures with Australian winemakers.

@Bob McDonald, I don’t know if they’re still doing this wine, but I believe Terlato is the name of an importer (?), maybe of Chapoutier wines, in Chicago (IL)??

Domaine Arnaud Lambert

Brézé Clos de Midi Lieu-Dit Saumur Chenin Blanc 2022

Nose: some funk. Blows off. White flowers.

Palate: sweet fruit. Mineral. Good. Well made. Not too wooly.

Le Haut-Lieu Sec Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2010

Prodigious stuff—acid is absolutely ripping and the color is the only hint that this is a 15 year old wine. Long, long life ahead — 13 days ago

Lieu-Dit Saint-Joseph Syrah 2020

Wow hello! Crushed stones, campfire and small red berries all mixed with spicy goodness. Grippy tannins and lively acidity round this off. Rip roaring, full blooded Syrah...love it!!!

Le Haut-Lieu Moelleux Vouvray Chenin Blanc 1985

What an amazing grape is Chenin Blanc. We had a delicious dry version from WA earlier in the week and now this gorgeous 39 year old Vouvray from the Loire Valley in half bottle. Not really sweet enough to be called a dessert style - spatlese at best. Mid to pale gold. Toasty notes with pear and mouldy apple. On the palate incredibly fresh and vibrant for its age. Notes of pineapple and a little acid to keep it going in the cellar if desired but hard to beat right now. A great accompaniment to foie gras. One of the 1001 Wines. A wonderful experience. — 5 months ago
