Clos de la Coulée de Serrant Savennières Chenin Blanc 2020

This remains one of the greatest white dry wines of France although probably not for everybody. Every year is a surprise and that inconsistency can be off-putting. Golden color, medium weight, quite high in alcohol (14.5) and cloudy. Long burn, apricot, dried raisins, apple and pineapple. — 2 days ago

9.0

This bottling from the co-op can be found in almost every major local supermarkets here and I’ve always been curious to find out how it tastes.
It’s clean, refreshing, energetic, and with decent texture and complexity. Delicious and a crowd-pleaser. Much better choice than an average CAVA or Prosecco for a bit more price when it’s on sale for less than $30.

Circa J.L. Chave Sélection Saint-Joseph Roussanne 2018

This is still very pretty, lots of nice texture, nuance, impeccable balance. Confectionary, fennel seed and floral nose, mineral, tangy, licorice root palate. Still some freshness but it may be time to drink up. What a steal this was. — 12 days ago

Silène J.L. Chave Sélection Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2022

Crozes Hermitage is a favorite and this one excels. Drinking this in a restaurant in Chicago, Bistronomic. If I see this in a wine store, I’d grab a case. — 18 days ago
