2000 & 1996-1999, 16 years on the lees. Nutty aromas; lush, creamy mouthfeel; ripe yellow apple and something tropical, a bit of acid and lingering chalky minerals. Happy 40th birthday to me! — 9 days ago

A Pet Nat named for the chalks of Champagne. There is a great story about Christoph Hoch and a bet he made with Benoit Tarlant about his ability to stabilize this wine. It’s a blend of mostly Gruner and Zweigelt with a wonderful chalky lemony chamomile flinty aroma. Hazy, different, and worth a try. — a year ago

Cedar-forward, mushroom and mineral but also very pretty, pure fruit. Taut and racy structure but not austere for the region. “Long wait,” 27 months in barrel. 593 bottles produced — 4 months ago
