Vieilles Vignes Cinsault 2017
2017. Little gassy, but blew off. Cherry cola, herbs, soft dusty tannins, hint of orange zest, licorice and nice acid. Fun wine. — 3 years ago

Pierre Gimonnet & Fils
Special Club Oger Grand Cru Champagne Blend 2016
Popped and poured; no formal notes. While the Goutorbe was ready for the business, this 2016 from Gimonnet was more of a discussion about its potential. This Special Club bottling showcases Oger and naturally, is a 100% Chardonnay BdB. I like where it’s headed, it’s just so youthful and tightly coiled. Loads of minerals and acid. Needs time. Drink after 2026 and through 2046. — 2 years ago

Andrew Cullimore
Slightly deeper salmon pink, more copper toned . More fruited than the Cristal , more strawberry , raspberry , floral character, limestone hints. On the palate this is rounder and more juicy , fruit driven in style , with strawberry , raspberry and some orange rind . Quite good density and balance . Good red fruited , chalky , finish . This is showing well , quite rounded and inticimg in style , open and generous . This is showing well now and I would imagine it will continue to do so over the next 10 years plus. — 3 days ago
