Clos de L'Échelier Dampierre Sur Loire Saumur Champigny Cabernet Franc 2022

9.6

Been a while since I have had these wines and wow is this insanely great. Nose is a bit quiet but there’s some cassis and kirsch and slight herbal edge that’s so appealing. Smokey and very complex. But the palate is OMG level. Juicy and so sleek. Sweet fruit, unreal velvety tannin and so fresh. Structure to burn and such freshness and a huge mineral finish. Out of this world. Can’t wait till it opens up. Masterful. Unreal complexity and elegance. This could go to 9.7. — 13 days ago

Les Terres Blanches Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Pale lemon color, with aromas of citrus and flinty stone fruits, aged 8 months in stainless on its lees. On the palate flavors of grapefruit, pineapple and peach with floral notes and slight herb spice. Medium+ finish, vivid acidity ending with citrus and stony mineral spice. Nice! — 20 days ago

En Jensillard Côtes du Jura Savagnin

2023 vintage. Lovely original nose that smells like an Indian curry. A very unique Savagnin that might not be to everyone's taste, but for me a delicious, Intriguing wine — a month ago

Domaine Les Roches (Alain et Jérome Lenoir)

Chinon Cabernet Franc 2005

Beautiful Loire Cabernet Franc, just a touch of green in the fruit, but with that cool climate feel, long finish, terrific wine, thanks to Eric Texier for telling us (my wine group) that Lenoir was making great Cab Franc!! — a month ago

@Doug Powers Love the Texier anecdote

@Ira Schwartz, all true, he took us to Domaine Chamonard (we were so cold tasting there that our teeth were literally chattering), also Lapalu and Janin in Beaujolais, always in his own cellars, and we’d spend a day at the Marche aux Vins in Ampuis!! In addition to making fabulous wines himself, Eric was so generous with his knowledge and connections, Lenoir in Chinon being another one!!

@Doug Powers I know it’s all true. Some of the wine folks I hang out with are close to him and every time he would visit NYC they would have dinners with him.
