100% PN, fresh and sour. Emilien Feneuil Les Puits Champagne Blanc de Noir @, yuyuelou, 210320 — 5 years ago
Corbières of the highest order -at 20 years just humming along nicely. Lovely sanguine color, warm wisps black pepper, a ripe core of plum fruit and a gout de terroir of earthen garrigue and meat pan juices -and full of life at 20 years old! A marvel and reason to rethink Corbières yet again! Love these wines... — 11 years ago
vintage 2022 | Finally! Le Puy has been on my bucketlist for years. Icon of nature wines. Winemaking with little or non interventions. Right bank Bordeaux. It is a wonderful wine, 22 is drinking fine now. Cassis, leather, clove and laurel. Warmth. Fine structure. It made my dinner with steak frites. At restaurant Amsterdam in Amsterdam. — 2 months ago

@Delectable Wine : This is the Emilien Allouchery Le Répertoire cuvée. I didn’t see it in the database.
92-93 (same as the BdB, but I’m going a tick higher).
Opened the BdB in April ‘24. Same winemaking process (80% fermentation in oak barrels, 20% in amphora); same disgorgement (May ‘23); this BdN received 3.5g/l dosage versus the 1g/l of the BdB. Followed over two days and stayed consistent.
Very grower champagne and very BdN. As with the BdB, this is texturally really pretty but more powerful. Fruit dominates with caramel dipped apples, spiced pears, red berry fruits, honey and even some cider aromatics. Same thought process I had with the BdB in that I’m curious if the use of amphora adds to the mid-palate texture here (feels like it did with the vintage BdB Marie Courtin I had last month). More rich and spiced apples and pears, some lemon pastry and orange zest. This wears 3.5g/l dosage great, but the ripe fruit would handle a gram or two less no problem. — 6 months ago
Quite clear chestnut aroma. CD natural flavor. Enough acidity. Citrus. 2015 @, wan, 210418 — 5 years ago
Great! Made with more pinot noir grapes so it's more bold. — 9 years ago

Combination of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Highly collectable wine. Fruit forward but with a lot of finesse. Feneuil’s reds are very good. Drink now or wait 4 to 5 years. — 12 days ago
