Interesting wine, would be fun in a blind tasting. Not very long or complex, a little muted now - but has charm.

Dec 17th, 2017Super cool under the radar Chard from a vdp around Bergerac made by Hubert de Bouard of Fleur de Bouard. Shows like amazing Burg. 10% each of Sauv Blanc & Petite Manseng with the 80% Chard. Focused green apple and Asian pear meld with white flowers and toast notes. Great balance. Wish I could find the 2012 state side, I bought this in France. Best deal I have ever encountered with Chard.

Feb 3rd, 2015Made in Bordeaux but played like a Burgundy. Ripe fruit, rich texture, fine barrel integration, holding its pants even at a temperature around 10-12c.. considerable length - over 20 seconds. Price as jumped since last vintage, so did the quality. This wine can bluff a Burgundy amateur in blind tasting that's for sure; it does feel like a wine from Puligny.

2012 vintage. Medium lemon. Quite closed. Some indescribable stone fruits. Hard to make out. On the palate, medium plus body, medium + alcohol, medium intensity of stone fruit, citrus and touch of mango. Vanilla essence - wood? There's a creaminess from the Malo and the acidity is medium. Good clean finish. Fairly neutral quaffer that has been well made. Inoffensive.
