After extended air, 1-11/2 hrs, this really deepened. Some plums show up and the tannins stand up and say hi! — 24 days ago

Vinifié en cuves de béton, ce vin fait chanter le terroir ligérien. C’est bon, franc et gourmand. Le vigneron conseille de l’accompagner d’une souris d’agneau aux lentilles et poivrons confits ou d’une tartine de jambon cru à la moutarde de moût de raisin ou encore d’un plateau de fromages. La preuve que ce genre de vin est si polyvalent. Et si facile à boire. BIO — 17 days ago

Fresh, mineral character with white floral notes like Orchids dominating in nose. Very inspiring.

Ce cabernet franc bio de Mathieu Vallée est comme un beau gros bébé rieur aux joues rondes, dodues et colorées de bonheur. C’est qu’il est d’un naturel si poignant que l’on ne peut qu’être désarmé devant tant de franchise. Un rouge fourni, bien mûr, encore une fois parfaitement maîtrisé, débordant de vie.

Not exactly aligning with the Delectable description. This more recent version is 100% Perricone. Nice tannins. Lighter in body. Balanced dark fruit, blackberries, black cherries, plum and spices with a floral and slightly barnyard element in there too. — 2 months ago

Vintage 2019 | I know... infanticide, but I wanted to try this Chenin Blanc because I was curious. It would be no punishment only to smell this wine... so multi-layered: lime, white peach, pear, vague impression of honey, saline, very lovely and broad. The taste has a high acidity and lots of potential. Razorsharp. Very nice wine from old vines, in transition to bio. | Paired with with asparagus, egg and ham, the classic combination. — 2 months ago

Surprisingly, one I just haven’t gotten around to trying.

It’s very light on its feet. Micro oxygenation, lime & lemon pulp, grapefruit, white peach, slivered almonds, nougat, vanillin, notes of cream, delicate chalkiness & volcanics, saline, sea fossils, touch of yeast, lively acidity, clean, elegant, polished finish. — a month ago

Good balance of acidity, sweetness (very mild), and and fruitiness. Ripe peach on the nose but more nectarine on the palate. Not exceedingly exciting but good execution. — 2 months ago
