Les Clos Lyzieres Saumur-Champigny Cabernet Franc 2019

Crush for this beautiful Cabernet-franc. Crunchy, fruity, with fresh, ample and gourmet primary notes; we eat literally in the fruit. The aging notes carried by a light woody discreetly integrated bring fine spicy notes. It’s both greedy and serious. I'll be curious to tast it back in 5 years. A wine that will bring together demanding amateurs like neophytes. Great!

Coup de cœur pour ce très beau Cabernet-franc. Fruité croquant, avec des notes primaires fraîches amples et gourmandes; on croque littéralement dans le fruit. Les notes d’élevages portées par un léger boisé discrètement intégrées apportent de fines notes épicées. C’est gourmand et sérieux à la fois. Je serai curieux de regoûter dans 5 ans ce que ça donne. Un vin qui réunira les amateurs exigeants comme les néophytes. Superbe!

Tenuta Argentiera

Poggio Ai Ginepri Bolgheri Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

A very fruit-forward Cabernet S. driven blend. Lots of dark, sweet, brambly fruit, with a touch of licorice and tar/black olive. Smooth & rich on the palate w/o being plush or overripe. Nice balance & precision and finely grained, juicy tannins. Lacks a bit of depth, though, plus the 14% alc are noticeable.
A nice one though, esp. with croque monsieur.

Sipping on this gem found in our cellar left by the sellers of our new home 😉 it’s actually quite nice! Very easy drinking. Medium to light bodied, balanced fruit and whipping thistle 😂 — 5 years ago

Bourgogne Passetoutgrain Pinot Noir 2018

Passe-tout-grain produces Pinot Noir and Gamay (often 50/50) blends vinified and aged together. They are traditionally simple and inexpensive wines. A few winemakers try it out with rigor and know-how, thus producing gems of freshness with a crisp character.
Unsulphured, unfiltered, biodynamic. It is a magnificent natural wine. Sublime nose, on an explosive floral bouquet. We bite into the fruit. Lively and ample. The finish is persistent on fine and coated tannins.

L’appellation Passe-tout-grain produit des assemblages pinot noir/gamay (souvent 50/50) vinifiés et élevés ensemble. Ce sont traditionnellement des vins simples et bon marchés. Quelques vignerons s’y essayent avec rigueur et savoir-faire, produisant ainsi des joyaux de fraîcheur au caractère croquant.
Non soufré, non filtré, biodynamic. C’est un magnifique vin nature. Nez sublime, sur un bouquet floral explosif. On croque dans les fruits. Vif et ample. Un délice de vin léger. La finale est persistante sur des tanins fins et enrobés.

@Ericsson In view of your publications, we can bet yes. I have just returned from the cellar store where I bought several other cuvées from the same domain: Beaune, Saint-Romain, and a Syrah vinified with burgundy style ... to be continued

Saint Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2001

This took me back to that trip to Bordeaux and several days spent in the village is St. Emillon some 10+ years ago. I am glad I brought a little stash home. Great fruit, complexity. Tobacco, mint, anis, grapefruit, black plum, and leather are flavors that come to mind. — 6 years ago

Charles Joguet

Cuvée Terroir Chinon Cabernet Franc 2017

Ripe red fruit nose of raspberry, cranberry, and tart cherry with classic cab frank green bell pepper notes. Grippy tart red fruit on the palate with cinnamon and cedar. Medium alcohol, medium tannins, and high acid, with the bell pepper lingering in the finish. Tart and rustic, bring on the croque monsieur. — 4 years ago
