2021 vintage. Light-medium body. Unexpected amounts of complexity and length of finish for the next tier up with Sancerre. Decidedly not a fan of Sancerre but this (begrudgingly) didn't suck. 3.20.24. — a month ago

Chardonnay is expressed here on these varietal qualities:, lively and mineral character, notes of lemony citrus, sour apples, butter, with a fine light smoke. Lively, supple, vegetable mouth (tilleul). Fine and digestible texture. The finale is energised by pretty salty notes.

Le Chardonnay s’exprime ici sur ces qualités variétales, caractère vif et minéral, notes d’agrumes citronnées, pommes acidulée, beurre, sertie d’un fin léger fumé. Bouche vive, souple, végétale (tilleul). Texture fine et digeste. La finale se prolonge sur de belles notes salines. — a year ago

Found this 2022 pleasing. Not trying to be a new world SB. Steely , bright, tart orchard fruits with hints of lime and quince. Wish the price was lower than $39. — a month ago

Very elegant, not super aromatic at first but opens up. Austere but not too abrasive and has really nice both ripe and underripe sweet cherry, hints of baking spices, persistent minerality. Would definitely buy again at $35 — 4 months ago

1999 vintage. Pascal Montaut is one of the greatest winemakers in Blaye ( Jonqueyres), but he is currently retired and sold his estate. Up to the final 2010 vintage, he also produced a microscopic quantity of an atypical Cabernet Sauvignon dominated Côtes de Bourg that tastes more like a Saint-Estèphe. Superb quality in this generally mediocre vintage. Still a solid colour. Cassis, graphite, leather and subtle floral hints.. Amazingly fresh and vibrant in the mouth with juicy black fruit in a ripe tannic frame and a longfinish with retronasal fruit and dark chocolate. Impressive. Abv. 13,5%. — a year ago
