Domaine Reine Juliette

Terres Rouges Picpoul-de-Pinet Picpoul Blanc 2019

Great value for the price. Very fresh, crisp, dry wine with green apples and grapefruit notes. Pleasant acidity, not as „stingy” as usually Picpoul is. Perfect companion to simple spaghetti with olive oil, pizza with white sauce or any friend who just steps by to talk about summer vacations in the South of France. — 4 years ago

Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Very standard Cab Sauv on the nose, but the palate is more fruit forward than I expected with hints of blackberry and even a little cherry. Also hints of tobacco. Solid tannins on the finish. — 9 months ago

Domaine Les Monts Fournois

Côte Cramant Grand Cru Chardonnay

@Delectable Wine : This is Domaine Les Monts Fournois’s Vallée 75 Mois de Cave - Premier Cru NV de Luxe. I didn’t see it in the database.

From winemaker Juliette Alips (Louis Latour, GD Vajra, Louis Roederer), cousin of the Bereche brothers (who are helping consult).

I love any and all things by Bereche, so when this new producer became available to try, I bought this as well as the vintage Grand Cru Cramant (which I posted a month or two ago).

As the name suggests, this receives 75 months on the lees. Base 2015, disgorged Sept ‘22. Blend of Pinot Noir (70%), Chardonnay (20%), and Pinot Meunier (10%). What I enjoyed about this over the Cramant was how Bereche-like it was. Powerful, beautifully ripe, textural as expected from the extended lees contact. Spiced golden apple, Mirabelle, layers of ripe and exotic yellow fruit before channeling the darker red berry fruit. Kiss of toast and sea spray at the finish. Wears its 5.5g/l dosage really well. I enjoyed this quite a bit. 93+
