Luminous, golden hue. The nose shows freshness and fruit with notes of lemon meringue pie followed by yellow fruit such as Mirabelle plums. Then, as the Champagne warms up, aromas of plums with slightly honeyed and toasted notes start to come through. The Champagne confirms its richness and volume. The Pinot Noir endows it with structure and depth. Hawthorn and white flower aromas fuse naturally together in a fine acidity sustained by citrus fruit. — 5 months ago

Juicy and fresh with nice earthy tones! Great with caesar mushrooms as the earthy notes fuse mid pallet and leave behind a fennel like phenolic that is absolutely fantastic! — 6 years ago

Born in the Nievre, where Burgundy meets the Loire Valley, Didier was the fourth generation in a family of winegrowers. Pale straw with white stone fruit aromas and floral notes. On the palate ripe peach and pear flavors fuse with chalky wet stone and citrus zest, energetic acidity. Long finish ending with mineral tones and underlying creaminess. Tasting Sample. — 8 years ago

Citrus and fading oak on the nose. In the mouth it reminded me of sushi as this bottle was all about texture. Sat in your mouth but then started to build like a firecracker with a long fuse. Slowly citrus flavors and nut flavors are joined by apple skins and sets up camp on your tongue. Squats there but never explodes . — 6 years ago

Like a Fruit by the Foot lit on fire for the fuse of a Molotov cocktail of boysenberry syrup. Not a huge Grenache fan, but this one made me reconsider. — 8 years ago

Deep purple color. Aromas of black cherry, raspberry, tobacco and baking spices. Really elegant Napa Cab- dark and red fruit on the palate, clove and oak finish. — 10 months ago

Rocket ship. Burning down the fuse out here alone. Day two was more relaxed and accessible. — 6 years ago

Deliciously floral and refreshingly acidic. Aromatic green apple, pear and rose petal fuse together in this dry, balanced Riesling. — 8 years ago
