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!! — 7 months 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.

Clos de L'Échelier Dampierre Sur Loire Saumur Champigny Cabernet Franc 2014

Consensus favorite of the four ‘14 Loire CFs (except for my dissenting vote favoring the Baudry, which I had the benefit of tasting the following day). Showing beautifully — a month ago

Domaine Gueneau

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! — 7 months ago
