We threw a complicated meal at this wine and it shone. A black grouper with Rosemary, lemon and olives; roasted squash with a roasted poblano sauce, and sautéed spinach. It has a full mouthfeel tohandle the spice of the poblano. The clean and bright Sauvignon blanc didn’t have the grassy herbaceous was of a New Zealand version, but more of a clean, lightly fruited, lightly herbal quality. And that mineral tang of the North Atlantic coast to brighten the fish. Pretty nice. — 4 days ago
Probably not everyone’s cup of tea but I really liked it. Broad, powerful, acidity lower than I was expecting. Some seriously vegetal and herbal stuff, like hay, camomile and sage, going on along with ripe melon, grapefruit and pear, almond and chalk. — 17 days ago
As we begin to return to dining out, it’s such a pleasure to have a nice bottle of wine outside on a warm day in San Francisco. My friend wanted some good Champagne, so I opted for a reasonably affordable bottle from one of my favorite producers. This is a non-vintage blend of 1-3 years worth of wines from several plots of Chardonnay that Pascal Agrapart farms organically around the Cote des Blancs. It has wonderfully crisp character and a nice unripe apple and pear quality along with its stony, cistern-like minerality and a faint saline note at the end. Mouthwatering and beautifully filigreed. — 20 days ago
15’ Château Pepe Clement. Should’ve decanted this for sometime. 15 needs a few more years in bottle. That being said… Petro soon opens up to this magnificent bottling. Orange blossom, pineapple, Honeysuckle. Zesty acidity. All spring out of the glass. — 3 days ago
