Insolente

Nicolas Barbou

Folie Insolente 2021

Immense wine - hallmarks of Sauvignon Blanc, but amplified. White fruit, grapefruit, rose. The concentration of the nose was something else. Absolute benchmark for this varietal. — 8 months ago

Domaine Tempier

Bandol Mourvedre Blend 2006

Beautiful classic cuvée from Tempier. If tasted blind, you wouldn’t know it is a 14 years old wine. Tobacco, spices, herbs and a very balanced, delicious, medium bodied wine, with such silky open tannins. A nice finish that is medium length, is the only hint that this is just the entry level cuvée at Tempier. 91-92 pts

Superbe Tempier cuvée classique et d’une insolente jeunesse. Tabac, épices et herbes avec une bouche de corps moyen mais équilibrée, superbe texture sur ces tannins ouverts et soyeux. Une finale de longueur moyenne est le seul indice qu’on est sur la cuvée classique.

Didier Dagueneau

Silex Pouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc 2004

Robe un peu plus foncée, de la pomme verte au nez, une touche de buis avec de l’air et du temps dans le verre mais avec de la classe, clairement Sauvignon blanc d’un bon producteur de Sancerre. La bouche est délicieuse, c’est frais, belle acidité, c’est assez riche pour balancer cette tension, bonne longueur, légère amertume qui ne me dérange pas trop en finale, au dévoilement d’une jeunesse insolente. 92-93 Pour moi à égalité dans un style différent que le Perrières.

The color is deeper, green apples, some herbal scents (buis). The palate is crisp, feels young, has nice richness to balance the tension, the finish is ling but with a touch of sourness though, great and feels so young.

@Mario Vaillancourt I'm always looking for feedback on the actual Didier bottles, we have a good collection, both older and younger then this one, and I'm always curious how they're doing. You're confirming my suspicions, thank you!

You are lucky. The longevity is there for sure and I guess the “actual Didier bottles” you have, even the youngest vintages must have lost that sort or very crisp “rock juice” feel they could have had when very young. Cheers and hope you will enjoy them. I find the recent vintages too pricy.

We stopped buying after 2008, hence the tragic passing of Didier. Actually, we embrace the mellowing of the acidity of the youth. I think the 750's are probably getting into the zone, but the 1500's I'm not too worried about. 😉

Very good. These wines need air, bc they can start out a little funky and backwards, but on day 2 it's a yezzir. Elegant with very pure fruit end mentholated edges. — 9 years ago
