Clos du Châtelard

Cuvée des Sens Villeneuve Pinot Noir 2020

Swiss Pinot? Count me in.
A very pretty purple hue in the glass. The nose is so pretty and nuanced with lifted red berries and floral accents. There’s a nice element of forest floor and mushrooms here. Caramel and tapenade is intoxicating.

Smooth and velvety with bright acidity throughout. Just a bit ethereal and mysterious. Good balance but can definitely stand to be aged a few more years. Nice complexity and good depth. Very interesting. Interesting as in this is very good but also has a soul. Really makes you think. Blackberries and raspberries on the palate with dried herbs and more good earth. Medium long finish with a touch of spice. Very nice.

Vaud Gamaret 2012

First time sipping a wine from Switzerland *and* it was brought to me by Jacques Villeneuve. What's not to love? Fresh and lively with juicy pomegranate and light woodsmoke. Happy. — 9 years ago
