2020 vintage. An impressive effort, 65% Merlot and 35% Malbec, aged 12 months in oak and amphorae. Dark red with purplish rim. Black and red fruit with lovely violet aromatics from the Malbec. Power and elegance go hand in hand in the mouth. Succulent fresh fruit, high quality tannin, complexity in length. and Outperforming the 2020 Château du Glana Saint-Julien tasted next to it. This might well be Corinne Chevrier's finest wine ever. Highly recommended. Abv. 14,5%. — 2 years ago
Finally getting around to posting wines from my annual Napa trip from two weeks ago. Always goes by quick! Lots of fun new stops this year.
It was my first time trying Moone-Tsai wines aside from their widely distributed Napa Valley Cab, so some of these were totally brand new to me. Melka is the winemaker.
Inaugural vintage for this wine. Fruit is coming from Petaluma Gap. This seems to have a Burgundian flair, but the fruit won’t allow it to go fully there. Fairly ripe black cherries, crunchy cranberries, underbrush, black tea and slightly green. Mellow on the palate with more tannin than acidity right now (which seems unique), and a definite dried floral, dried black fruit and herbal streak down the middle of the palate. Needs some time. — 5 years ago
We paired sushi with this 2016 Chablis Premier Cru from Domaine Corinne Perchaud. Aromas and flavors of honeycomb, apples, some pineapple, limestone and minerality. The pairing enhances the sushi flavors! 🥂🍣 — 5 years ago

Medium lemon color, aromas of stone and citrus fruits with yeasty notes, blend of six varietals with Petit Arbanne and Petit Meslier included. On the palate flavors of ripe apple and pear with lemon citrus zest and bread notes. Fine bubbles, light mousse, medium finish ending with fruit, citrus and yeasty biscuit character. Pair this aged Champagne with a shrimp or lobster salad. — 2 years ago
