Calm and reserved for a 9yo Cote Rotie. Integrated well. Lacks some of the classic aromas of prototypical examples. Subtle meat and sweet pickle/caper. — 2 months ago
Limp in complexity, bitter tannins, and vanishing fruit. Rarely do I encounter a wine that is just not up my alley. This fits that quota. Seeing concrete only, this wine should be bursting with bright fruit (in theory). Not flawed, nor faulty. Just simply a poor wine. Will aerate and revisit. — 3 months ago
Green apple, mandarin orange peel, and meringue. Classic Savoie freshness. Lean acidic backbone. — a month ago
Robust - Bready and nutty to an extreme. Best on its own served ice cold - or with something buttered and rich. Dark golden color with a rich velvety texture. — 2 months ago
Outstanding example from this lesser known / understood burgundy appelation. Golden apple, ripe pear, daffodils, and a finish of peach puree. Oily texture and full bodied. Wow. — 3 months ago
Crisp, slight cream, and a green apple finish. — 2 months ago
Well integrated - velvety and fine tannins - fruit still with crispness - dried flowers in the nose. Subtle earth. Outstanding. — 2 months ago
Light Golden color, apricot, jasmine, and peach compote. Complex with a long finish and string of acid throughout. Just Divine. Hard to imagine Alsace gets much better than this ! — 3 months ago
Out of magnum - lean tart fruit on the nose but a developed palate filled with yellow pear, apple and lemon meringue. Outstanding — 3 months ago
