Just a gorgeous nose. Sweet, ripe but never treacly cherries. Mid season. Birthday cake. Cranberry skin. Poised and detailed. Wow this is a 9.6 nose. So nimble yet expressive. Huge finesse and refinement and that classic 21 achy beauty. My goodness this is so elegant. Barely any tannin and needs some time to develop but this is very fine. Palate is complex and so fine. Juicy and so clean. Unreal pitter patter of a finish. — 14 hours ago

Needs air but so elegant and gorgeous. Pretty. Roses, mid season. cherry, mineral and very open palate that is fleshing out minute by minute. Gorgeous, elegant tannins and very pure. Let’s see what air does. Such a wispy wine. — a month ago

N: Mentholated Cherries, clove, some liquorice, oak, soil. Pretty indeed.
P: Light on the palate, hinting that w time and air this would fill out.Cherries and traces of oak, a bit of savory essence on the edges.All the parts are there.Sometimes these half bottles are an irresistible bargain. I’d do this again. — 2 years ago

In the beginning, it was a bit restrained yet charming and sophisticated. Ripe fruits of good quality, grapefruit, baked apple, brioche with cinnamon, ginger, chalk and mushrooms. The aftertaste is long and flavourful. Deliciously saline mouthfeel. After a few hours, it became more intense and seamless. Great structure with salty minerality, good acidity and a long linear finish.

It’s ironic how a wine from one of the southern most regions of France is such winter comfort. Yet the leather and tobacco chewy pleasures of Veneur’s Ch. N de P really hits the spot of on a cold winters night. — 3 years ago
