Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

Blend of 70% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay and rest Meunier, pale lemon color, light creamy mousse, tiny bubbles, with aromas of stone and citrus fruits, underlying toasty notes, dosage is 9g per liter. On the palate flavors of apple and peach with citrus zest, honeysuckle and chalky nuttiness. Lively acidity with good balance, long finish ending with fruit, biscuit and chalky notes. — a day ago

2011. Last bottle of L’Argentier. It was great to have multiple bottles their Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, and Rosé in the cellar this past decade. Always drinkable and great with food. The Grenache was my favorite, but the age on this Cinsault mellowed out the tartness and underripe flavors I noted early on. Big cherry on the nose and initial taste, then some spicy earth and smooth tannins. — 9 months ago

2017. Little gassy, but blew off. Cherry cola, herbs, soft dusty tannins, hint of orange zest, licorice and nice acid. Fun wine. — 2 years ago

Stunning brut rosé bubbles!!

Notes of cherry compote, pie crust, strawberries and cream, angel food cake, brioche, ripe apricot, white blossom, and toasted almond.

Creamy mouthfeel, fine mousse, with vibrant acidity adding lift and balance. — 3 months ago

Excellent as usual. Minerals, herbs, crisp acidity. Elisabeth Foradori’s genius. Drank in Leipzig, Germany. Usually in San Francisco, USA where we live. — 7 months ago

Popped and poured; no formal notes. While the Goutorbe was ready for the business, this 2016 from Gimonnet was more of a discussion about its potential. This Special Club bottling showcases Oger and naturally, is a 100% Chardonnay BdB. I like where it’s headed, it’s just so youthful and tightly coiled. Loads of minerals and acid. Needs time. Drink after 2026 and through 2046. — a year ago
