Just a bit off dry but balanced and great with cheese board — 3 months ago
Talk about over delivering. Drinking well above its price point and the designation. Medium intensity on the nose with green apples and flint initially. Citrus and floral aromas then come to the forefront after some time.
Well made with terrific balance and structure through and through. Nutty and citrusy with far more depth than you’re expecting for an entry level bottle. Expressive grapefruit and pears on the palate. Chalk, vanilla, and a smidgeon of butter complements. A really, really solid Chablis and an outstanding value.

Toasty and warm with only a pinch of sweetness. Parfait! — a month ago
So good! The wine is white gold in color with a fine sparkle. A flowery nose of great complexity, with notes of citrus and white peaches. A wine that is very present with a lively attack and great finesse with good minerality and notes of grapefruit on the finish. — 2 months ago
Wow! Delicate bubbles let the chard and Pinot noir shine through. A bit of vanilla and bright lemon and brioche. Not too dry and a lovely bright mouth feel. Fantastic! — 5 months ago
Quite austere, maybe a few years past its prime, nose redolent of Grenache, but palate very restrained, reminiscent of faded fruit. Quite tannic actually. J says you can really sense the “vielles vignes”. Very good but would love to try something newer, maybe a 2015 — 8 months ago
Nose is so expressive. Gorgeous ripe mid season cherries and elegant spices. Some lovely earth and limestone scents and minuscule hint of wood. Palate is bursting with cherry fruit and is so sapid. Concentrated, fresh and full of red fruits and a supple texture and engaging sweetness. Barely any tannin but what is there is so fine. — a month ago
Haven’t had in over a year. Love this wine. Nose is perfect dark red cherries. Some glorious spice and earth. Terrific texture and purity. Grippy and glorious with vivid red cherry fruit and some faint licorice and awesome freshness. Very sneaky length. — 7 months ago

A whiff of high quality Syrah which goes without saying. More savoury than fruit driven and at 8 years, leathery. A trace of oak. Not near as fruity as high quality Australian Shiraz. Cornas - Earlier maturing than Hermitage on the opposite bank and to the north. — 17 days ago
