Crisp, aggressive minerality and straw flavor. Can’t discern much fruit at all, lively acidity and medium body. Our first Chablis but not our last! Drank with Grace A in our basement apartment paired with good conversation. — 4 months ago
Un autre classique pour moi que j’adore, équilibre, classe, élégance et pureté comme toujours, acidité plus en retrait sur cette bouteille toutefois mais très légèrement, se boit toujours comme un charme. 90-91
Balance, class, elegance and pure fruit and flavours, gorgeous but with the acidity just a slight touch backwards, still gorgeous and drinks like a charm. — a year ago

Loooove this one. Notes of salted caramel. Might have been the weed and hot tub talking though... — 5 months ago
Under the spell of this Loire wine. The bottle was finished without difficulty. Deep purple colour. Rashed nose of frank cabernet: raspberry, black cherries, purple, slate mineral touch. We feel the solar character of recent wines (climate change) giving concentration and intensity, where only a few years ago the acid green pepper style could sometimes hinder. A racy and gourmet Cabernet Franc de Loire to drink on youth. Perfect with asparagus pasta or goat cheese from the region of production.
Sous le charme de ce vin de Loire. La bouteille a été finie sans difficulté. Robe pourpre profonde. Nez racé du cabernet franc : framboise, cerises noires ,violette, touche minérale ardoise. On sent le caractère solaires des vins récents (changement climatique) donnant de concentration et intensité, là où il y a quelques années encore les style poivron vert acide pouvait parfois gêner. Un Cabernet Franc de Loire racé et gourmand à boire sur la jeunesse. Parfait avec une pasta aux asperges ou encore un fromage de chèvre de la région de production. — a year ago

2016 vintage. Dirk Niepoort's answer to Burgundy and it actually has a Pinot Noir like colour and mouthfeel. This is a very unusual Douro from very old vines. Delicate nose with sour cherries , pomegranate and flowers. It is all about finesse and subtlety. Very long. Delicious and expensive (80 euros), but if you see the prices of Portuguese high end wines these days it almost seems a bargain. — 8 months ago
Dark, shiny colour... blackcurrant open nose, fig, and many shades. Fresh and full mouth. It is a lively expression of Cabernet-Sauvignon full of charm, between tannins and freshness.
Robe foncée, brillante… nez ouvert cassis, figue, et nombreuses nuances. Bouche fraîche et ample. C’est une expression vive du Cabernet-Sauvignon pleine de charme, entre tanins et fraîcheur. — a year ago
