Aged in Stockinger barrels. Spicy, with a touch of wood and cake spices. No sulfites. Juicy, clean and remarkably pure, with gras texture balanced by freshness. Gentle, delicate, deep and explosive all at once. — 11 days ago

Very pretty notes at the top with a lovely gnarly undertow. Very characterful and dense with some tannins on the end of the palate. Delicious — 2 years ago

@Delectable Wine this is the red Crozes. Thanks!

Gorgeous nose on this new project from the Gauthier Brothere. Lovely, lurid, gamey, peppery, white pepper, cracked black pepper, huge granite, such complexity, really refined and well made. You can tell from first sniff there is a high degree of winemaking skill here. The nose is terrific. 9.3/9.4 verging. I love well made Crozes. Palate is a delight, superb purity and freshness and densely fruited but also dense minerals. So sappy and pure. Blackberry fruit, red berry fruit, sappy spices and gaminess. Bacon even. This is so well fruited and balanced between sauvage/game and pure unreal fruit on a granite background. Just so impressive. After air impressive sweetness and energy abound. Really terrific balance and finish. — 6 years ago

Aperitive bubble for this year's new year's eve party. Only nosing and dipping my lips. Oxidative nose, green apple. Dry palate with drive. Palate cleanser. Superb! — 6 months ago

Nice but perhaps not at the level I was hoping. Quite fruit forward with lots of nice dark fruit with the requisite olive notes etc. Tannins and acid both less than expected. Nice pairing with chicken roasted with feta and olives. — a year ago

Painfully young, but that old vine syrah and granite density make it hard to resist. Dark, angry, pure granitic bite on the back half, needs some time, but the ripeness and warming fruit is coaxed out with air. I see a lot of potential here. — 5 years ago

Ripe apple, floral, crisp, energy and some roundness to balance it all. Always Good Chenin from Jacky Blot.

Pommes mures, floral, vif, de l’energie et de la rondeur qui balance le tout. Toujours bon du Jacky Blot. — 5 years ago

Passionfruit and grassy notes. Quite good and what you’d expect from a Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. — 5 years ago

New project between Remi Gauthier and his brother Sylvain Gauthier. Killer nose. Honey, honeycomb, beeswax, mineral, some vineyard peach but barely there. Huge earthy notes and killer minerals. Super precise and aromatic. Spice, herbs. Wow what complexity. This is awesome. Smells like elite white Rhone. Palate is teeming with energy, richness and ripeness and insane purity. Wow this is terrific. Awesome inner mouth aromas and terrific almost Rieslingesque freshness, minerality and intensity. So juicy with an explosiveness to it. This is the best beginner white Rhone i have ever tasted. Just stunning. — 6 years ago

Vintage 2022 | This was the first red wine bottle to lay my hands on, to combine with a spicy chili con carne. The fruitiness worked. — 8 months ago

Young, but great upside potential. Old vine Marsanne from the lieu-dit Aubert, east of the Sainte Epine vineyard. One of the original St Joseph appellation parcels, tended by Trollat for decades according to the spec sheet. Delightful. — 5 years ago

Killer value from a too notch producer. Apples, toast, hazelnuts, yellow flowers. Creamy mouthfeel with persistent bubbles. Indian curry x Jacky Blot for the win. — 6 years ago
