Première Cuvée Extra-Brut Champagne Blend

NV. Not the biggest fan of the heavy-handed/brusque Bruno Paillard style. They are consistent. This effort appreciably dialed down and delicious. 04.25.25. — 10 months ago

Arcane XIX Le Soleil Grenache Blend

Vintage 2015 | morello cherries in smell, for me always a hint to Syrah. Juicy, good balance. The swallow factor while tasting… Very good. — a month ago

Le Roi Soleil Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Ming L
9.4

A wonderful Mount Veeder Cab that has aged elegantly.

The nose shows blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum laced with savory notes of cedar, tobacco and dried herbs. The palate is concentrated yet vibrant with silky tannins has firm grip, finishing long with hints of cocoa and espresso.

Restrained power and finesse, Yannick brought both Veeder’s rugged characters and French precision. Last bottle.
