La Source Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2022

Opened yesterday, drank over 2 days.
The nose is very fruity and intense with dark cherry touches, earthy notes, some raspberry and blackberry scents too. I could even smell some peony notes too. This is really inviting. The palate is wide and long and quite complex. A good acid drive, some dark cherry notes all along, some very soft and easy going mouthfeel that is changing in mid palate with a great tannic wall, which adds a layer of dust over an otherwise quite juicy and fruity finish. In the back-end though, there is a tiny savoury note that pops along with a subtle bitterness. This is really my kind of cab franc. Really good stuff!

Blanc Pinot Gris Terret

Rich floral summer bouquet on a hot sunny day, tart mealy apples, pears, honeysuckle palate with a lightly prickly finish that has a touch of leathery earth. Really elegant and pretty wine ☀️ — 2 years ago

Funkiness just to the edge but not beyond in my book. Otherwise a decently balanced profile on the rustic side. — 4 months ago

Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Rosé Blend 2017

Delicious Musar Rose from a young vintage. Complex flavors that really opened up with the decanting recommended by Yannick Benjamin. Great combination with the spice and textures of the Peruvian food at Contento. — 2 years ago

COTE 50 Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2019

Really quite nice especially for the price. Need to drink more cab franc with burgundy prices continuing to climb. Quite generously fruited - but less of the green peppery note I was expecting. Drying tannins on the slightly chunky finish, but still refreshing with good acid. Nice pairing with roast chicken thighs with olives and feta. — 10 months ago

Cuvée Armandine Blanc de Blancs

A very nice BdB made in an oxidative style - ripe yellow & red apples, bruised apples, subtle shortbread & brioche, a hint of fresh hazelnuts. Rich, evolved, so nice.
Very fine mousse on the palate, persistent bubbles, beautifully balanced with just a touch of residual sugar adding a nice creaminess on the palate.
This is truly a nice sipping bubbly.
