Hard to believe it’s the same grape that goes toward some of the most boring white wines available. This is wild; pretty peach color from a little skin contact, slight oxidative notes which add to the complexity without tiring the wine out, very lively, intense and fairly long finish, most of the fruit is around apricots.

This is very similar to Les Jardins Philosophiques from the sister property Bouscasse, with a bit more nutty lightly oxidative notes that almost points you to Jura Blanc. Textured body contrasts the crisp acidity nicely.
Usually a blend of Petit Courbu and Petit Manseng, but the back label shows 100% Petit Courbu for 2015. This will cruise for another 5-8 years. — 6 months ago
Transparent Ruby red. Relatively high acidic due to from northern part. Spices. Light body but enough taste. Elegancy. Amaury Beaufort Les Jardins de la Porte de Troyes Rouge XIX, Pinot noir, Chablis 19 @4300, fruit, 241221 — 6 months ago
Fragrant nose with peach, pineapple, orange peel, lime, honey, and chrysanthemum. Medium to full body. Vibrant and intense, soften by creamy texture which is surprising given that this did not see any oaks. Hint of sweetness but dry. Great winemaking.
70/30 Petit Courbu/Petit Manseng. — 2 years ago
