Great acidity, balanced medium fruit. Slight barnyard. Mix of cab franc and grolleau. Great value! — 8 months ago
사브서울. 꽃냄새 가득한 소비뇽블랑. 캐릭터가 뚜렷하다. 사람들 반응이 매우 좋았음 (특히 챈슬러님!) #yjsauvingnonblanc — 2 years ago

Wow. Perfect chard for those who prefer minerality and think they don’t like chards. — 6 months ago

This is a blend of Niellucciu 80% – Grenache 15% – Syrah 5%. Nose has a lot going on. Licorice, dark berries, tree bark, cracked rocks. Almost Bandol-like. Rustic, tannic feel in the mouth, but not so much as to detract. Dark fruit and dark stoney flavors. Very clingy. Very good.
UPDATE: As this gains air, the tannins are receding and richer fruit is showing through. — 10 months ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over three days. Best on Day 3 but slayed from Day 1. The 2021 “P’tit Max” sources fruit from Guy Breton’s oldest vines in Les Charmes; some nearing a century old. It can often be one of the harder expressions from the Gang of Four to find. The wine pours a pale ruby color with a slightly hazy, transparent core and a watery rim. Medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, so fresh! Almost like a spring rain shower. The fruit is so beautiful: strawberry, watermelon, kiwi, red flowers mixed with some anise and wet asphalt. On the palate, winsome structure with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and I want to spread it over toast. This is drinking so well in its youth but this undoubtedly has a long life ahead. If anyone has multiples, I would recommend enjoying one now and cellaring other bottles to be enjoyed over the next 15+ years. — 6 months ago
Fantastic for the price point. Drinks more of a veggie cab franc than a GSM. Buy again if see it! — 2 years ago

Crisp apple and peach on the nose with peach and butter/cream on the pallet with some acidity and minerality that developed to heavy over time was hoping to love it which I don’t but I still really like it quality local wine excited to try more from Paysan — 5 months ago
