Good and exclusive pinot noir. But QPR out of balance — a month ago

Beautiful wine with somewhat simple nose of stone fruits and minerals. Then the palate is just a ton of flavor with Stine fruit, citrus, brightness, literally tastes like the label with an underlying funk and earth that keeps it all in check. Best muscadet I’ve ever had. — a year ago

This superstar 2012 vintage just doesn’t seem to miss. Especially not when paired with the elegance of Bollinger.

A gorgeous rose copper color in the glass. Plenty of fine bubbles that seem to just go on and on. The approachability of these outstanding 12’s is immediate. Wild strawberries and herbs shine on the nose. Red currant, raspberries, and stewed plums. Some exquisite spice notes along with white flowers. Tangerines and watermelons play a part.

The vitality and sheer energy of this is amazing. 67% Pinot Noir from Aÿ and Verzenay. 33% Chardonnay from Oiry and Le Mesnil sur Oger with 5% still red wine from Bollinger’s legendary Côte aux Enfants vineyard. Terrific youthful tension and balance. Zippy acidity with 8 g/l of sugar. Disgorged in August of 2019 and already showing some maturity.

Pure romance on the tongue. Silky smooth and elegant with fresh red berries and more spice on the palate. Saffron and honey with oak complimenting. The Lehmann Jamesse Grand Blanc provided more floral notes, while the Riedel Dom Perignon showed more ripe fruit and minerality. Both wonderful. Yes this will obviously develop over time and become so much more special but you deserve this now. So do I. Enjoy.

Aromas of rose, clay, red fruit at first. Slightly peppery. Light. Beautiful flavors. Reminds me of the countryside outside of Girona. — 5 months ago

Wow is this good. Raspberry, currant, pine, sage, cherry jolly ranchers, river rocks, more tart fruit and savory spice. Acidity keeps making my mouth say more, more, more. Great qpr and highly recommend. — 2 years ago

Bought at winery today. Needed an hour to open. Nose and palate very similar. Bramble of berries, cherry juice, a bunch of spices from baking to savory herbs, a bit of tree bark or some other wood but not oak. What a great producer of CA zin with different styles under 1 roof. Should drink more from them when in the mood for zin. — 4 years ago
