La Cour des Bois Saint-Véran Chardonnay 2021

This is the Couterier St Veran Cour de Bois…..an eminently quaffable white, a real thirst quencher - does that make it good? Pretty simple, sparkly, bright nose, not much structure or body, but tasty. None of that acidic finish I dislike — 6 days ago

Cour-Cheverny 2008

Amazing white wine made from Romorantin grapes which visually looks like it’s 3-5 years old, at most, this grape variety is related to Chardonnay, but WAY drier, the entire appellation is 120 acres/48 hectares in the Loire valley, really a super unique wine that apparently will age almost forever, mineral, loads of acidity, needs food (which I don’t have in front of me — waaah!!), longish finish!! As an aside, there is a great Loire chateau to visit in this area, called Chateau de Cheverny, which is still lived in/occupied, but is well worth a visit!! Really amazing wine!! — 4 months ago

I have some Cazin C-C (2002) in hiding, last time I had a bottle we were amazed at the longevity, I immediately bought whatever I could get for the current vintage at the time (2018) to continue the ongoing experiment for many years into the future... You are not crazy.
