Hazy raspberry red in the glass, like a ruby or claret. A lot of sulfur on the nose. When that subsides it’s still Jura funk through and through. This is all strawberries and summer goodness. Light to medium light body. Simply a phenomenal bottle. Drunk at Mary Celeste in Paris. — 6 years ago
Similar to the last time we bought this (2017 vintage) wine, but prior traits seemed to be dialed down 25%.
100% Chenin Blanc; Anjou AOC (Saint-Jean-des-Mauvrets)
Nose has chalky minerals, cold honey, beeswax and dried apricots.
Palate has dehydrated apricot, peach skin, medium acidity and medium finish.
$14, still a great value. — 2 years ago

I LOVE this wine. It is so old school. So much like the better CDRs and CDRVs I used to drink/sell in the early 80s. Very earthy, funky, aged meaty nose. Peppery, roasted green herbs, iodine-tinged flavors. There’s spicy blackberry skins too, but that takes a back seat to farmy garrigue. Clingy and damn good. Cambie may have have Ginger-ized most of the southern Rhône, but it is really nice to find that Mary Ann is still in the house. — 5 years ago
Goes great with pumpkin Cheerios, ribeye and Bloody Mary oyster shooters. Talk about a useful wine! — 6 years ago
