Very carbonated. Plenty of Sauvignon blanc vegetal flavor. — a year ago
This wine is so good, it should not be overlooked. Apparently, Kistler (Jason Kesner) produces this wine for restaurants. But that doesn’t mean us mere mortals can’t enjoy it at home. Some would consider this a mass-market proposition, but it’s anything but that. It possesses a transparency of an individual story, which is easy to read. There are no missing pages or chapters. This wine is well structured and prismatic in terms of its complexity, layers and minerality. Butterscotch, honey and calcium pierce the taste buds, and at a price I consider to be reasonable for such an outstanding product. Check out Kistler’s website. They hide nothing. It screams about very considered wine-making at its very best. Consider this for short-term cellaring only. — a year ago
This wine comes from the climat of “Les Corvées Pages” which is a 1er cru vineyard located in the Village of Nuits-Saint-Georges (both of which are named on the label). The 2019 vintage was very warm and dry, which helps explain the 15% ABV level, which is uncharacteristically high.
It is deep ruby in color. The nose offers a medium (+) intensity of developing aromas that include black cherry liqueur, ripe blackberry, blackcurrant, red plum, boysenberry, violet, licorice, star anise, vanilla, burnt caramel, clove, tobacco, forest floor, and mushroom.
On the palate, it’s dry, with medium (+) acidity, medium (+) body, high alcohol, medium tannins that are supple and fine-grained, and concentrated flavors consistent with the nose. The finish is medium (+). This wine is juicy, intense, and delicious.

Tasted blind. Deep brown and almost a 100 years old, the Crème de Tête is a special barrel selection from Château d'Arche, only made in a few vintages, such as 1906, 1928, 1929, 1961 and 1967. Pure perfection in the glass, the 1928 showcases intense aromas of fig compote, dried plums, shitake mushroom, orange rind, salty dark caramel and malt. The fireworks continue on the palate, where exuberant flavor richness, mesmerizing sweetness and lively acids build an almost immortal Sauternes. Drink now until 2050. — 2 years ago
Simple, versatile, drinkable Bordeaux - sometimes, that’s all you need. — 4 years ago
Bordeaux bubbly! Perfect for an impromptu Monday night celebration! Fun and fruity, it shows its 50% Semillon character on the nose with fragrant waxiness and crisp pear. Fruity and round, though basically dry, in the mouth. Gentle, creamy frothiness. Great value and definitely would appeal to a broad range of tastes. — a year ago
A very decent Semillon dominated blend from Graves.
Needs a bit of air to show the full bouquet of creamy, waxy lemons, fresh nettle, shy green gooseberries.
Nice freshness on the palate, with juicy acidity balancing off the creamy Semillon influenced mouthfeel.
A hint of salty, green minerality towards the end adds complexity, though it turns a bit too herby & bitter with time.

Woah. Love this bouquet. Super fresh, super zingy.
Love the cloudiness in the hue. A bushel of berries, a garden, a sharp and breezy forest.
Blackberries, raspberries, cherries. Tangerines, pomelo. Parsley 🌿
Lovely. Celebrating a big milestone today. Just received news that I’ll have my first print publication for a short story of mine that will be published in pages alongside one of Neil deGrasse Tyson’s short stories as well.
