Petit Jo Grenache

Really tasty mix of grenache and syrah. Spiced, but definitely taste the fruitiness over all else. Lovely smell. Definitely a wine that we could drink regularly. Had this in Denmark. — 2 months ago

Domaine Champet

Les Fils à Jo Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2020

Popped and poured; enjoyed over several hours. The 2020 Champet “Les Fils à Jo” pours a deep purple color with a magenta rim and a nearly opaque core. Medium viscosity with significant staining of the tears. On the nose, whoa…all. of. the. berries. There are also black plums with some cigar box, new leather, lavender, bacon fat and spices. On the palate, the wine is dry, medium+ tannin, medium+ acid. Confirming the notes on the nose. Finish long and super spicy with a generous helping of black pepper. Even though this is super primary, the quality is on display which makes this a fun wine to try in its youth. That being said, this is built for the long haul and to my palate, the best is yet to come. Best after 2030 and should be great well past 2045. — 10 months ago

Savennières Chenin Blanc 2021

Photo taken by my daughter as I, apparently, am "sucking" at photography 🙄
This is a great, simple chenin from Savennières that I like to taste once in a while. We had it along with a raclette (yes I know, again) and it was a great pairing.
Green apple, honey, wax, a touch of lemon too. The palate shows a massive acid drive, but it's not just fresh, there is some width and matter to go with it. Lemon juice and green apple touches that caress the tongue play around the acid drive and build up in the rear, before a long and fresh finish with the same fruit touches and a tiny waxy note in the very end. Chenin is well deserving all the recent rave, really.

Le Fief du Breil Muscadet Sevre Et Maine Sur Lie 2016

Off the charts QPR as with many of the top muscadet. Fleshy white peach, grapefruit, stone, slightly bitter green almond, lees. Absolutely beautiful and I’m sure would age into a stunner — 4 months ago

Clos La Carizière Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Sur Lie Melon de Bourgogne 2020

This is great, crisp and clean muscadet! Chalky, lemony and flowery touches. The palate is extremely well balanced with a great acid drive, some flowery and lemony touches all along, a round and spherical mid palate and a superb, subtle flowery and lemony touches. Superb muscadet — 9 months ago
