Light ruby color, beautiful shine. Nose: bright red fruits (strawberry, cherry), peppery, and mineral. Lively mouth with a slamming acidity, constituting the red thread of this tasting, balanced by gourmet notes of juicy fruit, and a beautiful chew in the mouth, with very fine tannins, as expected. Served at 12/13 degrees in summer, it is a perfect treat. 2018 is beginning to reveal welcome evolution notes, supporting a discreet oak aging. To be tasted absolutely within 1/2 years.

Robe rubis claire, belle éclat. Nez fruits rouges éclatants (fraise, cerise), poivrée, et minérale.
Bouche vive avec une acidité claquante, constituant le fil rouge de cette dégustation équilibré par des notes gourmandes de fruits juteux, et une belle matière en bouche, avec des tanins très fins, comme attendu. Servi à 12/13 degrés en été, c’est une parfaite friandise. 2018 commence à laisser poindre des notes d’évolution bienvenues, soutenant un boisé d’élevage discret. A regoûter absolument d’ici 1/2 ans. — 4 years ago

love love love
so rare that I find a dry riesling that I don't like


nose: peach and lemon, funky overripe stone fruit. just the smell brought a smile to my face, smells friendly and familiar and funky in a sexy way

tart!!!! Chick-fil-A lemonade, slightly fizzy, so sexy and dry. tastes reminiscent of nectar, like a honeysuckle. the fruitiness makes it seem sweet though it's not actually sweet, pretty dry and wonderful — 6 years ago

funky fre$h, sweet peachy honeysuckle nose, tastes slightly off-dry, some funk and a little zing, acidic and fun like a summertime lemonade but not crazy acidic like Chick-fil-A lemonade. tastes different than other rieslings I've had but in a good way, this might be the first natty riesling I've had?

Nez assez intense, envoutant, change beaucoup dans le verre au fil de la soirée, bouche éclatante, pas terne du tout pour un 2006, belle acidité et fraîcheur, puissant et fin à la fois, belle texture, bel équilibre, c’est long et savoureux. 94-95

Nice intense nose, lots of fruit, nice acidity and freshness, power and finesse at the same time, nice balance, nice length, Grand Cru feel for sure, gorgeous. — 3 years ago

Nez typique bordelais, tabac, graphite, un peu de sous-bois. En bouche on reconnait le millésisme un peu vert, mais cela s’estompe fil de la soirée. En bouche, on retrouve le tabac, boite à cigare, mine à crayon, C’est bien, rien n’accroche mais il n’y pas ce petit oumff des grandes années bordelaises. Finale de longueur moyenne, tannins fondus. — 6 years ago

French and wonderful. Bold and tannic. This has years of life left in it. What an unusual blend for the states. Old vine granache and old vine carignan. Would love to try this in another ten years. Great with a Chick-fil-A filet number one — 6 years ago

Interesting without being funky but has the French character. Butter and lime. Paired with potato chips, shortbread cookies and Chick-fil-A nuggets — 6 years ago

The 2019 Mâcon-Verzé Les Chênes was ordered from the list at Au Fil du Zinc in Chablis, principally because it is not shown whenever I visit Leflaive in Puligny. It acquits itself well. It's fresh on the nose with orchard fruit and white tea, though I would not describe it as complex. However, it exudes presence and concentration. The palate has commendable weight and is well-balanced. The acidity neatly counterbalances the concentrated fruit, dovetailing into a brioche-tinged finish with sufficient salinity to beg another sip. Polished off over dinner, it cost 60 Euros on the list. Money well spent. (Neal Martin, Vinous, August 2023)

Pureté de fruit impressionnante. Quel éclat ! Servi à l'aveugle, je croyais à un Cornas 2009. A gagné en profondeur au fil de la soirée. Belle richesse. Chanceuses sont les personnes qui en ont en cave! — 6 years ago

nose: ripe bananas and honey. smells like a sauternes! sexy

so bubbly! I didn't expect that. this is a real zinger, explosion of tarness and acidity. reminds me of a Chick-fil-A lemonade, where it slaps you with that lemony goodness and makes your mouth water. finishes with a cool smooth apple blast

was not good even a day later, drink on the first day

nose: apple juice and pear and light happy flowers like lilies. i smiled when I smelled this, it's like when you hug someone and they have a nice fruity flowery shampoo that isn't too cloying and makes you want to just sniff their hair.

crisp refreshing, goes down like Chick-fil-A lemonade but less biting. leaves the front of your palate watering on the finish and makes you want to chug it straight from the bottle (a Ross test, if you will)
