Vintage 2020 | rich wine, minerality — a day ago
Vintage 2011 | From Eschendorfer Lump. Awesome Sylvaner with impeccable balance and playful acidity to balance the sweet. Unbelievable what Sylvaner can grow to! — 2 days ago
Vintage 2019 | Deep dark colour. Morellocherries. The smell opens up like a peacock 🦚 tail, I like that. Voleptuous rich taste, too young clearly - great potential! — 19 hours ago
Vintage 2014 | introverted shy smell, almonds, good balance. I guess this wine was better a few years ago. — 20 hours ago

Vintage 2014 | jasmin in smell, expressive. Minerals, flint. Juicy. When you take a sip, you are longing for the next one. A high sip-want-next factor. Awesome balance. — 19 hours ago

Vintage 2019 | interesting experiment. Stephane Montez and Stephane Robert are vignerons-winefriends. Stephane Robert has a small plot (0,2 ha) in Cornas where his friend makes the wine and vice versa (0,2 ha) in Condrieu. At the Brabantse Wijnsociëteit we tasted the wines next to each other, thanks to @Rob van Kalmthout (🙏🍀). As always the opinions were very different. I do like this Cornas grom Montez, but prefer the Robert. In Condrieu I like the wine of Robert, but prefer the wine of Montez ☺️. This wine has a deep colour and a little sweetness at the first sip. The smell is rather shy, or perhaps the wine still too young? I taste cherry, this Cornas is very charming and with more elegance than Robert who makes a wine that needs more time. Well integrated wood. Love this experiment that shows an open mind of both vintners. — 11 hours ago
