Les Vieux Clos Savennières Chenin Blanc 2022

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three hours. The 2022 “Les Vieux Clos” pours a light golden color with medium+ viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with white tree flowers, mandarine oranges, ginger, lanolin and just a touch mousy. On the palate, the wine is slightly off-dry with high acid that’s balanced by the unquestionable quality of the fruit. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, wooly and rich. The alcohol is medium+ but should be at all be surprised? Say what you want about Joly’s methods; his wines are never boring. I, for one, adore them. Drink now through 2032 easy. — a month ago

I’ve never had a Joly that was not too oxidative for me. Sounds like it would have liked this one.

St-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil Vieilles Vignes Cabernet Franc 2020

Was so surprised at this one! Got it for a friend who loves Cab but is going to the Loire Valley and I wanted to show her a good expression of the reds from that region. Was delicious - easy to drink on its own or with food. Already bought a second bottle! $22. — a month ago

Réserve Exclusive Brut Champagne

Traditional Champagne blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Meunier. Straw gold color. Aromas of green pear, white flowers and crustacean shells. Flavors of green apple, pear and apricot. Hint of citrus and pie dough on the long finish. Creamy mousse and bright effervescence. Tangy and crisp. — 3 months ago

Clos de la Bergerie Savennières Roche aux Moines Chenin Blanc 2016

Outstanding, showing primary and tertiary 50/50, lovely yellow and white fruits, salinity, some oxygen taking hold, florals, lanolin, and excellent acidity drives this into a long, complex finish. — 2 months ago
