Mer De Cailloux

Fleur de Mer

Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend

Nose of pears? Nectarines? Initials tartness of mild orange citrus? Opens up as it warms and becomes less tart and a hint of lemon at the end. — 16 days ago

Les Deux Cailloux Pouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Light golden color. Aromas of yellow fruit, citrus, grass, flint and white flowers. Flavors of pears, yellow apples and gooseberries along with tropical fruit note. Hint of flinty smoke on the long and crisp finish. Bold acidity and a slightly creamy texture. Bright and fresh. Thanks for sharing, Keith S! — 3 months ago

Val de Mer Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay 2023

Presented double-blind at Tasting Group. The wine pours a straw color; medium viscosity with no signs of particles or gas. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tropical fruit, lemon citrus, white and yellow flowers, and slivered almond. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and creamy, leesy. Ooof…another neutral white.

Initial conclusions: this could be Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Gris from France or the United States. There is no oak (possibly neutral oak but I think it’s lees contact). So I’m going with my gut and calling this Chardonnay, France, Burgundy, Chablis, 2022. Ha! Patrick Piuze is a Chablis producer but this wine uses grapes outside of the zone, hence the Bourgogne Blanc designation. Tricky wine but I’ll take it. Drink now through 2033.
