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! — 2 months ago

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. — 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

Gave some friends a pair of tickets to a wine tasting. This was one of the wines they tasted and they thought we’d enjoy it. They were right. Nice thank you gift. — 7 months ago

This was dramatically better the second day. Initially it wasn’t showing much. Lovely stone fruits, citrus, almonds, a hint of pineapple, but not in a bad way. Vibrant acidity. — 2 years ago

Really good. Lemons, deft use of oak. A bit of vanilla. Very pleasurable. Enjoyed with grilled salmon, grilled corn, rice and Cole slaw. — 3 years ago

Vintage 2021 | obviously young. Raspberries in smell, elegance, juicy rondeur with a great future — 5 months ago

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

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
