Clos Romans Saumur Chenin Blanc 2009

If you ever thought how can a cremant made from Chenin Blanc have the acidity and subtle fruit make a wonderful sparkler. Try this one on. I loved how clean and crisp this came across. — 4 months ago

Les Cras Macon La Roche-Vineuse Chardonnay 2021

2024/8/27. Merlin’s Cras is known (or at least noted by Jasper Morris) as being long-lived, and I’ve enjoyed bottles at 10 years. (I’d like to try older vintages…) But this is lovely now as well - perhaps it’s the vintage, but there’s a focus reminiscent of Chablis paired with Southern richness. Cool lemon, stone and custard on the nose, acid, mineral and fruity body in balance on the palate. — 5 months ago
