A regular buy, this is clean, with sharp acidity. Nutty and round. Some salinity and bitters in the aftertaste. Excellent pqr at around 19€ — 23 days ago

Incredible glass of rose. Roses, almond paste, tart, some dried figs. In the mouth sweet, acidity and bitters so well balanced. — 3 years ago

If you like a well made rose that can easily be forgotten in your cellar a few years this is a good pick. Remains fresh to drink and some bitters from orangepeel make it even good with food.

Vintage 1989 | for me an obscure domaine, it caught my attention at an auction. I do love ripened Chenin Blanc, which sometimes seems immortal. So I thought: give it a try. The wine was sent from France. Lovely ripened colour, old gold. Shy smell, good taste that combines honey and bitters. The cuvée is ‘moelleux’ but very good balance with the acids. Paired good with rilettes and pheasant pâté. — a month ago

Vintage 2021 | Early drinking, fine luncheon wine, paired with beetrootsalade, goatcheese and lemon/oliveoil. High bitters, so better with food or give this bottle one or a few years cellar. — 3 years ago

9.1

On the fruitier side of LdH (darker in colour, too), with some dried cherry, dried cranberries, a touch of orange peel & orange bitters with the typical leather, wood polish, cigar box next. Some decent dark earthy notes, too. Needs a bit of time to open up.
On the palate this is poised, elegantly balanced, in a perfect spot. Medium body, vibrant acidity, the tannins finely grained & mellowing. Savoury fruit + a touch of spice & a hint of orange peel towards the finish.
A lovely wine! — 3 years ago

Again a bottle to my liking. So guess that previous one was off. High in acids, tangerine fruits, classic bitters — 6 months ago

N: Roses…big and candied. Red/Pink Grapefruit. Like marmalade, all the bitters too.
P: At first, big tannins that smooth out w protein. Cherries, but yellow/brown.
Delicious wine.
If this is Cogno’s basic, watch out. — 3 years ago

Vintage 2019 | hint of orange, stinking smell (positive), high acidity. This needs something to eat because of high bitters, lots of character. Swallow reflex. — 4 years ago
