Bottled 10/2021. An old favorite not had in years. I remember this being fresher with more citrus, playful. This edition is maltier, not quite as lively. Still delicious and a good match with homemade shawarma. To paraphrase Fernand Point— is it Saison DuPont that has changed, or have I? — 3 years ago
Drinking Burgundy in a Paris brasserie. Awesome, even if the wine isn’t that great 😊 — 9 months ago
Amazing that this is 9.5% because it's so easy to drink a 750mL bottle. It really is wine quality. I have a hard time identifying the nose on beers but it reminds me of being inside the cow feed silo as a kid. It smells like late summer harvest left to ferment.
It's a very clean taste of...... Wheat grass? — 2 years ago
If Corbières is the heart of Languedoc then surely Carignan (81%) is its soul. This is a terrific brasserie wine that brings abundant joy throughout the meal. Silly to score, but hey..... — 3 years ago
Best Bordeaux value I know. Beautiful brasserie wine that goes well with a myriad of foods. — 4 years ago
Happy belated Zwanze Day! Celebrating with this 2017 bottling of Cantillon’s Classic Gueuze. Over the years, I have drifted to be a little more fond of 3 Fonteinen but I’m really splitting hairs. This is world class.
Popped and poured; crushed in 30min after doing the first yard work of 2024 and getting the hops trained to the trellis. The gueuze pours a brilliant golden color with a persistent head. On the nose, mostly tasty stone fruits: apricots, peach, kumquat, horse blanket, stony minerals. On the palate, the gueuze is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and refreshing. Drink now. — 9 months ago
Outstanding! Crisp nose, fruity, touch of yeast. Great head, like a fresh home brew in the best possible way — 4 years ago
