Pretty concentrated ruby dress. Evolved nose evoking Burgundy. In the mouth a beautiful smoothness, concentration, between evolved notes and fruit still very lively. A pretty bottle full of refinement. It can be drunk on its own.
Can still age 5/10 years, maybe more.
Jolie robe rubis concentrée. Nez évolué évoquant la Bourgogne. En bouche une belle onctuosité, de la concentration, entre notes évoluées et fruit encore bien vif. Une jolie quille pleine de raffinement. Ça se boit tout seul. Peut vieillir encore 5/10 ans voir plus. — 2 years ago

American geography ignoramus that I am, little did I know that the Northernmost tip of the Rhone- Cote Rotie- is the kissing cousin of Beaujolais. St. Amour is more midpoint, but has that great granite terroir which makes this long standing Cru Bojo (& under 20$) a perennial fave. It’s that mineral tautness I love. — 3 years ago
Bad photo, it was dark. Jean Loron La Coronille Pouilly-Fuissé. LX19 EWR-ZRH. Very crisp and dry and chalk & mineral forward. — 8 months ago
Beautiful example of BN. — a year ago
Happy food-friendly Pinot. Billed as from the Auvergne (although VdF), but very composed and not at all rustic. — 2 years ago
Roses and lychees. Lovely wine not too sweet either. — 3 years ago

Quite different bubbles from this Special Club offering. And given the panel tests to make it into Special Club each year, like others , this does not disappoint. Crisp, citrus fruit driven. Delightful find. — 5 months ago
