Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two days and consistent throughout. The 2022 “Les p’tits bouts” pours a deep ruby/purple with an opaque core; medium viscosity and moderate staining of the tears. On the nose the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart fruit. Initially reductive and primary but after an hour, the nose became a stunning bouquet of fresh ripe blackberries, blueberries, an entire field of lavender, bacon fat, dried green herbs and some gentle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. The finish is long. Beautifully fresh at this stage. Drink now and through 2037. — 24 days ago

La Bidode Chardonnay 100% from Overnoy-Cinquand, a small domaine of around 5 hectares in Pupillin (within the Arbois appellation) now operated by Mickaël Crinquand, a distant relative of the master Pierre Overnoy. Fermented and aged for 2 years in oak barrels with no topping up (ouillage). Medium to full bodied. Nutty, honeyed, notes of caramel and oak. Crisp apple. Minerals. — 5 years ago

A bit undecided on chenin blanc in general but I realize that’s sort of a silly statement. Some florality on the nose. Very slate-y. Long finish with excellent mouthfeel and persistence. — 5 years ago
