2010 vintage. Decanted and tasted immediately. Lean and mean. Medium body but only because of the concentration. Dark fruits and plenty of espresso influence evident. Slightly less delicate than other P-C efforts fortunate enuff to taste. Tighter than the outstanding 2009 upon initial impressions. Needed more time to coddle this one but couldn't carve it out. ***EDIT 6.27.26***Delectable was having a moment during the review process and couldn't access previous wines/research properly, so went with memory. Ha so bad. It WASN'T the 2009 I thought I previously had. Actually confused vintages and had this exact 2010 vintage on 12.5.25 (9.6) with enough time to appreciate properly. The 2010 quickie was still nice at 9.4 but not nearly as good as being 9.6 romanced properly. 6.20.26. — 2 months ago
A 50/50 blend of Pinot Noir and (Pinot) Meunier; mostly sourced from the 2011 vintage (40%) with the balance from 2010 and 2009.
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The C. de Pinots NV pours a straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe apple, toasted brioche, split almonds and lemon bar and spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. The DNA is there and showing a slightly more oxidative style. Drink now. Disgorged July 2016. — 5 months ago
The 2019 C3 is composed of equal parts counoise and cinsault with carignane rounding out the blend. Having the former two in the lead gave this one the aromas and flavors of cherry pie, as well as notes of pomegranate and lingonberry. Very fresh, and an excellent choice to go with our bison hot dogs on the grill! 40% Counoise, 40% Cinsault, 20% Carignane. 5/30/22. — 5 years ago

This 2025 took me pleasantly by surprise. Very reasonably priced at about $34. While being the authentic old world wine it’s supposed to be. Having it with raw oysters and seared scallops and it is bordering on perfection. Understated, minerals, lime, tarragon. Some softness around the edges but still bright and brilliant. — a month ago
Pale lemon color, with complex aromas of citrus, floral and flinty stone fruits. On the palate flavors of lemon, pineapple and peach with floral notes and slight herb spice. Medium+ finish, vivid but balanced acidity ending with citrus and stony mineral spice. — 2 months ago
