Been awhile since I’ve had this one. Always consistently good.
Beautiful mousse, bruised red apple & Bosc pear, underripe pineapple flesh, blood orange, quince, nougat, hints of white peach, white spice-ginger, whipped cream, yeasty bread dough, sea spray, speckled chalk bits, grey volcanics, limestone, withering yellow lilies/flowers, crisp acidity, well tensioned-structured, well balanced and elegant finish that last two-minutes.

Used the Durand on the cork - soaked to the edge. Decanted for 2 hours.
This wine had some gaminess. Smooth. Fruit was a bit wild and overpowered by the savory flavors.
Paired well with the chicken skewers and onions. Needed complex flavors in the food to pair well.
Good but quite a bit below the Beaucastel — a month ago
Non vintage, laid in chalk Cellars in 2015 and disgorged in 2020. Incredible wine. — 10 days ago
Light sweet and crisp more of a spring time wine than a fall but would definitely get again! — 12 days ago

Late disgorged 2/27/25. Deep rose color. Not sure I like the style. Have been drinking these wines for years this being the first LD — 16 days ago
