Brézème is a tiny appellation near Valence, the most Northern part of the Côtes du Rhône. Monicault is a blend of Marsanne and Roussanne, aged in stainless steel. Exotic fruit and minerality go hand in hand. Very good mineral length. Abv.14%. — 15 days ago

Well, Delectable has a difficult time recognizing this Blanc de Blanc Champagne. But it doesn’t matter. It was good!! Very vibrant, nutty and fresh finish. — 2 years ago

Brézème, the most Northern part of the Côtes du Rhône. Renaissance is a selection of Roussanne and Marsanne, with the latter aged for 50% in oak. The oak is obvious, especially in the nose. Richer than the Monicault, but not sure if the oak is adding to the quality. At this stage, I prefer the tension of the Monicault. Abv. 14% — 15 days ago

Lovely blend. Well balanced and crisp. The Chardonnay supports while the Pinot stars. This bottle made for a great companion on a sunny afternoon in quarantine. — 4 years ago

Wow. So much for the Lombard can’t be drunk for 10 years thing. Mos def will improve over time but you can see the brilliance today. Earthy nose. Some mushroom. Palate is really an elegant version of POmmard. You have the blackberry fruit for sure. And some licorice. But they are balanced and it has nice acidity. The blackberries are more picked off the vine in the wild kind then the dense knock your head off kind. This wine has upside from this score as it ages. High floor given the balance and structure. Bought from fass selections. .... as this opens some spice. ... as this opens nose is getting some dark lilacs. Palate density is more apparent. Still elegant. Internal aromatics are this dense penetrating spicy live blackberry thing. Like inhaling a blackberry bush in the forest. Finish is a bit tight but has a kiss of chocolate. Wow. ... after 3 hours stunning freshness. — 5 years ago
