My favorite Raveneau vintage and 2004 is absolutely pristine showing everything you could want from the legend—Captivating aromatics, a powerful, voluminous and waxy textured palate that comes with age, racy lemony acids and crystalline minerality. Not only is this brilliant vintage chiseled and laser focused but there is tremendous richness, weight and density. Finish just stays with you. The best showing I’ve had from the Forêt vineyard. — 3 months ago

Only 150 cases produced - “La Forêt” means “The Forest.”

Quick runoff after pressing leads to a light amber / peach skin color that leads right to the bright and intense aromatics of peach, yellow pear, and baked golden apples. Upon tasting there’s an intense saline grab right in the middle of the tongue with good mineral characteristics. Low to medium, but the perfect amount, of acidity compliments stone fruit flavors. Good long finish.

An interesting and unique wine with medium aging potential! — 3 years ago

2013. Dark presence with violet-black from edge to end. Unctious. El Capitan tears with solar flare outcroppings linear paralleling across the cliff face. Lovely mushroom and earth interplay here with blackberry bourgeoning and black olive wisps. Forêt Noir leanings with brittle and toffee behind a curious veil of grill smoke. Palate is met with a rush of intense flavor, warm dark chocolate and raw nib, concentrated black cherry, cedar, blackberries and red currant, ripe blackberry, licorice, tobacco, and a drop of treacle. Wild resonance! Flavor permanences.

Graciously gifted to Holly and I by Pierre and Mathilde Demets. Popped and enjoyed directly from the bottle, on the streets of Paris, in celebration of our 20th wedding anniversary. “Intransigeance” is a fabulous cuvée made from a combination of selected fruit from both “La Forêt” in Gŷe-sur-Seine and “Fins” in Neuville-sur-Seine; 67% Pinot Noir and 33% Chardonnay. No formal notes due to the setting but I can confidently state that the 2018 vintage is utterly delicious. We laughed and reveled as we took pulls under the Eiffel Tower and walked to lunch through the 7th and 6th. We had a blast. Disgorged July 6, 2023. Only 7306 bottles made. We need more Intransigeance, please @Lyle Fass ! — 7 months ago

Nez discret d’amblée, un peu de fruits rouges.

En bouche, c’est croquant, baies, fruits rouges, avec un coté terreux, forêt humide. Légère acidité en fin de bouche, assez pour être un brin dérangeante qui masque un peu les arômes de milieu de bouche.

Sur son plateau, pas certain qu’il va y avoir une amélioration. — 5 years ago

Rose des Riceys, though produced in the Champagne region, is not “Champagne” d the word appears nowhere in the appellation. Not sure why Delectable calls it that. Anyway…
Transparent dark ruby. Inviting nose of Marasca cherries. Fruity (evidence of carbonic maceration) medium palate confirms the nose adding a very slight hint of tannin on the short-ish finish. Medium- acidity: just enough to keep it food friendly. This limited production still rose (actually a light red) shows well in this iteration. The style lends itself well to spicy foods (we had tandoori chicken and salmon) and light snack fare. Drink now. — 7 months ago

Robe plus concentrée que le pinot de base malgré l'âge. Le nez est de cerise, framboise, cuir, humus, chocolat donc de gâteau forêt noir. La bouche est charpentée, assez puissante et la finale est longue. Les tanins sont souples. — 2 years ago

Popped and poured; no formal notes. Consumed over two days with consistent performance both nights. “Les Fôrets” is a lieu dit inside of Montmains. Romain ferments in a combination of 90% cement egg and 10% foudre. This is my kind of 1er Cru Chablis. There is an abundance of energy. Bright, crisp tropical fruits that lean more towards the star fruit side of things. There is lemon citrus and loads of minerals. The oak treatment is extremely light and imparts more to the texture than anything else. The finish is long, refreshing and super satisfying. Really lovely stuff. — 4 years ago

An Acker tag on and a surprise of how nice it’s drinking. Not yet over the hill. Not complex but nice balance of that aged forest floor notes and Mushrooms with very ripe dark fruits reduced down in cooking. Wine searcher says 50% Négrette, 35% Cabernet Franc et Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Syrah. Bottle confirms Négrette and Cabernet, says 32,327 bottles and this one numbered 13,343. — 6 years ago
