Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2008 pours a garnet color with a translucent core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and some fine sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of cassis, kirsch, green bell pepper, graphite, dried purple flowers, earth and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium and sanguine. Old school Bordeaux and delicious. Drink now through 2038. — 3 days ago

I think this is the best release of this wine I’ve had. LC22. It’s excellent tonight layered with ripe orchard fruit, gun smoke, salted hazelnuts and exotic spices. The palate is structured and concentrated with a satiny texture and vibrant energy giving way to a saline and mineral laced finale. Delicious! — 9 months ago

Last bottle from the 2008 vintage

Relatively low on pressure when uncorking. Small tight bubbles

👅This is rich with citrus, nuts, and bread. This has some smokiness and it is oxidative. There is nice acidity that remains noticeable through the finish. Finishes with a bitter quinine note and extra brut dryness

This is persistent and drinking well but I preferred this when it was fresher, crisper, and had some florality

Wonderful combination of bright fruit and structure. People sometimes forget that rosés are red wines, but this wine was a wonderful partner for a roast lamb and eggplant dish. Have this wine with food, and enjoy! — 3 years ago

Opened 24H in advance with one glass poured to allow for increased air volume in the bottle. I prefer the flavor development of the Saint Peray sparkling wines on the second day open. Just a stunning example of Alt Champagne; Marsanne & Roussanne blend make a spectacular sparkling wine!

Please see prior notes. A tart, saline finish today, second to none! — 5 years ago

2020 vintage. Undying cherry juice tartness with a smattering of earth. Decanted and tasted after 10 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours. Initial nose was promising. 07.18.25. — a year ago

LC 13. Whoa., glad I had with food. Mouth puckering acidity that holds the lovely ripe strawberry & cherry fruit hostage. The fruit comes across as somewhat delicate but I have to believe the acid is holding the fruit in a tight headlock. — 4 years ago
