Already developed into drinking window. Sometimes you have these wines that do not tip the high rating scales, not overly complex, layered or standout elements. No, this is just really well balanced and giving a lot of pleasure and easy drinking.

Funny fact: This cuvee name means badger in Occitan, a wink at the animal who eats Jean-Francois' grapes.. 🦡 — 19 days ago

Palate: green apple. Lovely sweet fruit. Mineral. Great acidic balance. Blind I’d say 1er cru chablis.

Chateauneuf-du-Pape is one of favorite French wines and this iteration is certainly an excellent example. Full bodied, well balanced, smooth and so good with foods. Meats, cheeses, crusty breads, or just by itself. Plenty of fruit, very little tannins and the perfect amount of time in the bottle since this variety doesn’t really lend itself to aging. Really doesn’t need much decanting. — 8 months ago

Potent yellow colour. Rich, almost Chardonnay like despite being a mix of roussanne-Grenache blanc-Viognier, and string body. I really like this one. 4/2-2023 (home) — a year ago

A bit bitter on its own, balances itself out when paired with a fatty meat (in this case, a Basque region raised pork loin). — 6 months ago

Dark red fruits, dark chocolates and some meaty aromas. This is a great wine that will get better with age. We’re going to enjoy this with Christmas leftovers! — 6 months ago
