Arguably, and consistently, the best American white wine made. Unfortunately, not that many contenders for that crown.

La Porte Dorée Cour-Cheverny Romorantin 2020

2020. I believe this is my first Romorantin based wine, so I read through the tasting notes here and was excited to try it. Rich orchard fruit, good acid, and definitely get the oxidized sherry-like notes some mentioned. Paired with snacks while watching the Masters. Not quite their Pimento Cheese Sandwich, but my goat cheese stuffed roasted red peppers and black olives went great with the wine! — 7 months ago

La Peau De L'Ours Chinon Cabernet Franc

Domestique wine club. Third time with this guy and doesn’t disappoint. Glu-Glu with structure and a bit of snap at the end. Notes of fresh summer blueberry and field hay. Lovely. — 2 years ago

Valmur Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2014

Color has slight greenish tones. Very nice nose, iodine, lemon zest, touch of almonds too and sea shells that are also on the palate. Very Chablis style with energy and an edgy acidity, mineral and saline with great length, delicious.

Couleur dorée avec de légers reflets verdâtres, très Droin comme couleur. Un beau nez typé avec des notes salines et iodées, coquillages, zeste de citron, et des amandes. Une bouche très Chablisienne, acidité vive, sans être tranchante, belle énergie, minéral et salin sur cette finale très longue. 92-93

Domaine l'Aiguelière

Côte Dorée Coteaux du Languedoc Montpeyroux Syrah 1995

Nearly 100% Syrah cuvée from the Languedoc, this is an amazing wine still, meaty, gamey, animale, garrigue, and surely topped off with some Brett, deep and complex, with layers of flavors, this seems close to mature, though I wouldn’t bet against further positive development in bottle, good acid balance, only minor nit is just a tad of dryness in the long, lingering finish, and only 12.5% ABV as well — 5 months ago

@Ira Schwartz , for every wine I aged that maybe I shouldn’t have, I figure about 1 of every 5 completely outperform reasonable expectations. Alas, it’s the other 4 of 5 that illustrates what happens when you’ve purchased too much wine over the years. 🤷 🤷 🤷

@Severn Goodwin , agreed on 1995, I also had some bottles of 1994 and, I think, some 1998. I don’t believe I bought anything newer than that.

@Doug Powers I am guilty as charged. That said there are some bottles that I intentionally left to age , my “science experiments”

Champalou

Le Portail Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2016

Slightly golden dress. Apricot nose, white peach, honey, dried fruits, hazelnut, butter, vanilla, empyreumatic notes are present. In the mouth it is of great delicacy, between mineral tension, and creaminess. The breeding is melted with the notes of evolution. A great of the great Loire white wines that I was able to drink; gastronomic profile.

Robe légèrement dorée. Nez abricot, pêche blanche, miel, fruits secs, noisette, beurre, vanille, les notes empyreumatiques sont bien présentes. En bouche c’est d’une grande délicatesse, entre tension minérale, et onctuosité. L’élevage est fondu aux notes d’évolution. Un grand vin blanc de Loire au profil gastronomique.
