Had La Macchiona as part of a wine pairing at Septime, so I had to grab a bottle from this producer when I saw it. Not sure what I expected but it was much richer, fuller, and sweeter than I thought. The sweetness slowly wore off giving way to ripe cherries and rhubarb as it opened. Stood up well to the Mediterranean food of all things we had with it and actually quite a nice compliment to it in many ways. Lacked some depth but primary characteristics were strong and carried this wine beyond my expectations. — 5 months ago

This year was phenomenal. So well balanced and fresh. I was impressed at similarity from draft to bottle. Legend! — 7 months ago

Dry and balanced with nice, fine tannins—cherry with hints of tobacco and eucalyptus—very drinkable and food friendly! — 4 years ago

Stunning zero dosage sparkling wine from the Loire Valley — this rivals most champagnes.
Pear, bruised apple, lemon, grapefruit, almond, oyster shells. A bit of yeastiness.
Perfectly balanced. — 3 months ago
2016 vintage. Need to order some more of this-pronto. Obviously too young but firing on nearly all cylinders at this point. The go-to BDX for those that want to drop coin on BDX but aren't familiar with BDX. For those of us that are familiar with the area/wines, this producer and vintage are delivering overtime. Voluptuous and sexy mixed with just enough down to earth(iness). Drinking phenomenally now. Too youthful to accurately speculate on the end game/potential of this vintage now. Much of the baby fat is gone yet there are a few strands left. Going back to the 1988 vintage, this is in my top three Cos offerings- like now, man... 4.29.23 — 2 years ago
