Hebrart: Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. No formal notes. As the name suggests, this is a selection of Jean-Paul’s favorite sites. In this case, old vine sélection massale from: Faubourg d’Enfer, Pruches, Haut Varille, Croix Blanche, Maladrie, Beauregard, Ramonette, Bisson St-Loup, Côtes, and Sente des demoiselles. All 1er cru sites, obviously and roughly 3/4 Pinot Noir with the balance Chardonnay. It’s delicious. In the Hebrart style, this is fresh with loads of bright raspberry fruit, citrus and minerals along with great acid and good bubbles. Drink now through 2037. Disgorged April of 2021 and based off the 2017 vintage. — a year ago

Mineral and acetone on nose. Touch sour, lemon rind and orange pith, steely long note. Drink very cold. Best with oysters, prawns, summer vegetables and a long, lazy late summer dinner outside. The choice by-the-glass white at Faubourg in Montclair. — 7 years ago

Passion fruit pop! The nose is ridiculous. Floral, fruity, musky, smoky. Palate reminds me of a crushed ice dessert from my childhood - Matterhorn. Mix of lemon, lime, tropical fruits, and a herbal jelly. VA in the finish that gives it a yoghurt-like character, especially in conjuction with the texture. Works with the wine, though the acetate on the nose does bother me a bit. Oh, definitely phenolic, but bitterness seems to be kept in check. Great with Thai food (the not so spicy dishes that is).

Note: Pricey here for what it is ($90). From Faubourg wines:

The Scholium Project wines are unconventional, special, and not for the faint of heart. This one, in particular, is for wine geeks only. That said, I'm not going to try to describe it. Here's the text from the winery. Vague enough for you? You're welcome. Prince Triumphant! You know by now how challenging the 2011 harvest was. As the 2011 Prince harvest drew near, we reflected how in 2010, the fruit for the Prince barely ripened in the cool, challenging, Farina vineyard. So when conditions were even cooler in 2011, I made the difficult decision of shifting half of the fruit from the earlier ripening LSB-devoted section of the vineyard to the Prince. We harvested this fruit at the end of September, and fermented all of it in puncheons without destemming: whole-cluster white wine. Stems and all. We brought the rest of the fruit in in early October. On the whole, the 2011 Prince is 50% whole cluster-- 50% stems included. The wine is remarkable-- in part from the intensity of the LSB section; in part from the whole clusters. There is no green-ness, no stemy-ness: only a deep, smoky wine with tannins that are rich and structured, civil and well-organized. The wine is less mahogany and cloudy than the 2007, but darker, richer, sharper than the 2010. A triumph in a difficult year. — 9 years ago

I ain't proud. Yeah it is roughly that time of year again. A time of dread (why I don't know; after all it is only Gamay, unlikely to hurt you). This one is good, though. Showing a richness and depth unlikely in the typical corporate offering. Plum jam, and blueberry jelly, even a little strawberry, and toasted marshmallow nose. The palate is grapey with a tangerine note beneath; raspberry soda pervades. That signature Brouilly or Morgon powdered grape persistence. For what it is: a winner! What it tells us about Pinot, I have no f---ing idea! — 12 years ago
