More refined and more mineral, more elegant nose, fermentation in 3-4 year old barrels, plan is to have length. 70-115 years old . All old barrels. Same parcel. Spectacular palate with length, complexity and purity, rounder and more opulent, with terrific complexity and length, salty and mineral finish. So pure. NO ML. — 6 years ago

looking for the perfect Spring white #wine? Think Chenin Blanc fr #SouthAfrica, dependably dry & wallet-friendly. This Ken Forrester 'Petit' is melony and crisp, bursting open on yer palate like a crocus - at perfectly named gastropub YN bar in #nyc — 9 years ago

Soooooo soft. Total velvet. Crocus, lavender water, hung just above silky blueberry and blackberry preserves. Gorgeous. — 6 years ago

Recently rebranded as La Roche Mère this is the most prestigious of the three wines from this property

Earthy violet, hints of chocolate and cedar. Great length and balance - this has a refinement you don't find in Argentine malbec
Exceptionally smooth tannins with enough acidity to compliment most dishes on the table. There is oak on the nose and palate but it is held in check, adding to the wine's complexity — 6 years ago

Fermented in stainless steel then 24 months in New French oak 225 liter barrels. Deep ruby with purple highlights. Pronounced aromas of stone, herbs (lavender), meat, violet, and iron, plush tannins, but very ripe and round. Meat, plum, Great elegance and length. Really terrific wine and good flexibility with food pairing — 6 years ago
