Cour-Cheverny Romorantin

Yes, an aged Loire Romaratin. 12 years aged & intriguing: Dainty and fino like on back end, moderate acid & more floral than fruit. For 20$ a worthwhile adventure…

Exotic fruits, flowers and honey entwining a beam of acidity. A dead ringer for a Loire Chenin blanc.

Super interesting. Chenin meets Chardonnay. Slightly oxidative.

Will be real fun in a couple years.

One of the better Cour-Cheverny wines I've tasted: a statement that says everything but also nothing. Less unpleasantly oxidative than Daridan, more interesting than de Montcy and Cazin and at much frendlier price than Henri Marionnet. For the money I think this is the best that's out there-- Golden apple skin, celery, tarragon.

With cheese fondue

Romarantin from Cour-Cheverny at Star in Glen Ellen with Adam. Poised, restrained, full but clean and minerally.

Hard to pin down what I think right away. That's usually a good sign.

Very pretty and nuanced, flirting with Riesling and Chenin but going it's own way. Dry but a touch of RS binds the wave of acidity to your palate perfectly. Long life ahead. Soon to be pushing this gem from our friends at the Sorting Table with Springboard Wine Company!

Lemony and sour in a good way. Great acidity. Super interesting.
