I mean come on, please come back from retirement 😉. Kidding aside good fortunes to them and unfortunately for me I am late to this party! A complete and wonderful wine!

Drinking nerdy wine does not get much more enjoyable and snob free than this. Pure and very aromatic in the nose, I could smell this all day as the lavender, berries, spice and a teeny funk of saucisson fill the olfactory senses. On the palate the bio/organic is apparent but is at the edge of stability but soundly in check. Purity in taste and acidity with barely there silky and fine tannin. A fantastic last hurrah! A bientot Clos Roche Blanche! #loire

Drinking some history tonight. 2014 is the last vintage for Clos Roche Blanche. Terrific send off, Cab Franc & Cot. Delicious.
