Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three hours. The 2022 “Les Vieux Clos” pours a light golden color with medium+ viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with white tree flowers, mandarine oranges, ginger, lanolin and just a touch mousy. On the palate, the wine is slightly off-dry with high acid that’s balanced by the unquestionable quality of the fruit. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, wooly and rich. The alcohol is medium+ but should be at all be surprised? Say what you want about Joly’s methods; his wines are never boring. I, for one, adore them. Drink now through 2032 easy. — a month ago

Outstanding, showing primary and tertiary 50/50, lovely yellow and white fruits, salinity, some oxygen taking hold, florals, lanolin, and excellent acidity drives this into a long, complex finish. — 2 months ago

Medium deep lemon yellow , touch of gold . Quite ripe citrus fruits , orange rind , peach , ripe rear, , honey . On the palate quite rich and round with a judicious amount of residual sugar , just balanced acidity and with the citrus , honied orange rind , peach notes from nose. Slightly heavy alcohol , quite intense with ok honied length . Misses a little freshness perhaps but should age quite well , possibly more interesting and less one dimensional in a few years . Drinkable now but will last well a further 10 years . — 3 months ago

Was so surprised at this one! Got it for a friend who loves Cab but is going to the Loire Valley and I wanted to show her a good expression of the reds from that region. Was delicious - easy to drink on its own or with food. Already bought a second bottle! $22. — a month ago

9.0

Traditional Champagne blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier. Straw gold color. Aromas of green pear, white flowers and crustacean shells. Flavors of green apple, pear and apricot. Hint of citrus and pie dough on the long finish. Creamy mousse and bright effervescence. Tangy and crisp. — 2 months ago
