Returning in 2018 after 2017 was wiped out by frosts, this is an intense, wild 2018 Buisson Renard, like an untamed head of curls. In clear evidence at this early stage, it has floral and boxwood characters and a nutty oak-derived influence. There's even an intriguing note of peppermint on the sinewy, lengthy finish. In a mid-weight, linear style with a firm, phenolic finish that almost requires knife and fork. This needs more time in bottle to shed its austere frame, but if you're not in a hurry...

Fine and persistent bubbles, raspberries, lemons, white peach, brioche. Lovely texture and great acid to balance the generosity of the vintage. My first Nominé-Renard Special Club and considering the relative restraint shown in 2015, I am really looking forward to many more. Drink now through 2035. — 6 months ago

I love the nose on this wine!! The Grenache is immediately apparent. Notes of citrus and red fruits!! Light enough for hot weather and as summer approaches will be a nice wine for me!! — 10 months ago

All about texture. Viscous and luscious, very shy in the nose but pristine in the harmony between tight yet ripe herbal character, minerality and nutty bitterness. Long finish. Needs time to develop intensity — 7 months ago

Sabered and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The BdB NV pours a straw color with medium viscosity and a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with lovely notes of white peach, lightly toasted brioche, nuts and citrus. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. This is a richer style with lovely texture. Disgorged January 2022. Drink now and over the next handful of years. — 9 months ago

Yes, the 2002 is indeed delicious without that metallic Notes marring the ’03. Complex, earthy but light on its feet, just what you want for a Burg! Oh wait, the others are au Renard — 3 years ago
