2019. Ordered at Restaurant L'Arpents but not served. Bought a bottle and drank it with chèvre in our room for Apéro. Excellent. — 2 years ago
Hazy straw color. Citrus, faint nutmeg on nose. Full bodied, resinous on palate with floral notes, lime zest, and honeydew. Mouth watering acidity, long finish. Paired with chèvre drizzled with orange blossom honey. — 3 years ago
First wine Gewurztraminer - sweet and fruity - with the first round of cheeses Gruyere, Chèvre et Camembert - great class! — 6 years ago
Excellent paired with French cheeses ( Fourme d’Ambert, pavé de brebis, fromages de chèvre de Normandie et d’Anjou). Had the 2017 vintage in July 2023. — 10 months ago
first tasted this wine in May 2016 at Chèvre d’Or in Eze. Blew me away. Was my first 2014 Chablis. Touted it long and hard to others. Bought lots of it and other 14s. Happy tonight that I did. Still fairly unevolved and not much different from the taste in 2016, it’s tight w iodine and minerals, lean but lithe, super citrus fruits and zest. Really screams Chablis. — 3 years ago
17.5. Raynolds says ‘rewards cellaring ‘. You bet! 12 years on, it’s fresh, still light yellow. Quite round and full for a Sancerre. Lots of fruit, good acidity. Wouldn’t want to guess how long it will hold, but probably long enough for me to get through the remaining 5 bottles. Perfect with salmon and chèvre. — 4 years ago
Nice Saint-Emilion to celebrate my place in Montesson. Paired it with Polenta Valsugana, with Gorgonzola, Mascarpone and Chèvre — a year ago
Investigating classic pairings and realized the only thing I had to serve chèvre on was packets pretzels from the flight I just…flew in from?
Fortunately pretzels were good call. Otherwise?I’m annoyed. I’ve never cared for goat cheese. And I’ve scoffed at how Sancerre scarcely tastes like Sauvignon Blanc anymore.
But the two together are so delightful. It’s coming to terms with a madness in line with last week when I found myself hanging with a gorgeous couple (Los Angeles models yayyy) and I wished I could write them off. Then one picked up his guitar and started playing 90’s/early aughts hits with passion, and his girlfriend confided she wrote Edward Allen Poe inspired poetry and I thought “damn I love them…where did my inner Daria go???”
Both pairings really pleased me.
The humans it’s obvious they are asshole artists like me.
The cheese and wine? I never liked the gamey notes and (to me) overly rich bordering on pasty mouthfeel of chèvre. But somehow the floral, mineral, and white peach vibes from this Sancerre tease out the floral and earthy (without being animal-y) zings from the cheese.
I’m pissed that I found a way I like goat cheese. The more you know? — 2 years ago
