This 2024 is everything that I look for in a cdr. Herbs throughout, soft fresh berry fruits with a dark stony spine. Lighter bodied and endlessly interesting. Viva La France — a month ago

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Beautiful color of ruby with a wide brick rim.

Great nose with over ripen red fruits, forest floor and earth notes.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with plums, currants, cooked cherries, dried fruits, light wood, prunes, cola, chocolates, spices, herbs and vegetables.

Medium finish with soft tannins and tangy cherries.

This 30 year old Merlot is still drinking nicely. Not at its peak anymore, but very tasty nonetheless. Elegant with some fruits left. Complex and interesting.

I've had a recent vintage not too long ago that was drinking better, although I did love the complexity here, especially on the nose.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, and will pair nicely with food too.

A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 12 months in (30% new) French oak barrels.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

Clean and refreshing nose of pear, green apple, lemon peel, and hint of fresh herbs. Supple and lively palate with subtle minerality towards the finish. It shows a level of structure that makes it more serious than generic regional Mâcon wines.

From a Pouilly-Fuissé based domaine that produces Chardonnay only. A pleasant quaff. — 8 months ago

Still needs time - decant before enjoying. Super dark fruit flavors and a great aroma after opening the bottle — 5 years ago

First bottle was little orange, and over the top. Bottle 2 was greenish yellow with exact the style we love. So thumbs up for the last bottle. — 5 months ago

Roy/Michelle visit opened 10/9/21. Initial notes of oxidation but otherwise nicely balanced mature fruits and stones for fourteen years old vintage. Wasn’t popular with red wine crowd but actually better five days later! Funk is gone and just plain acidic Chenin Blanc goodness. Adding a point to 9.1 — 5 years ago
