So interesting. Always appreciate this 100% Pinot Noir blend from three different reserve vintages (one at least ten years old). Bright golden color. Distinct umami aromas along with hints of green apples, white flowers and red berry fruit. Flavors of red cherries and strawberries, soy sauce, apricot and mushrooms. Beautiful note of mineral tension on the long, persistent and lingering finish. Fine stream of tiny bubbles and a creamy mousse. Outstanding freshness, complexity and length. Bright and clean acidity. Quite intense yet very delicate at the same time. Simply fantastic and totally unique. Beautiful basket-style packaging. Thanks for bringing this special New Year’s Eve bottle, Kase! — 4 months ago

Original cuvée. Syrah in carbonic maceration. Not filtered, not glued, without added sulphur. A surprising light colour when you know the usual colours of the grape variety. The nose is generously marked by fruits and flowers. The mouth is juicy, aerial, explosive, dominated by the primary aromas and the purity of the fruit. Fine, supple and digestible texture. The day after it gains in scale and finesse in a beautiful nuanced balance reminiscent of Burgundy or the most aerial wines of Beaujolais. A wine that is not as obvious as it seems that it takes time to reveal itself.

Cuvée originale. Syrah en maceration carbonique. Non filtré, non collé, sans apport de souffre. Robe surprenante de légèreté quand on connaît les couleurs habituelles du cépage. Le nez est généreusement marqué par les fruits et les fleurs. La bouche est juteuse, aérienne, explosive, dominé par les arômes primaires et la pureté du fruit. Texture fine, souple et digeste. Le jour d’après il gagne en ampleur et finesse dans un très bel équilibre nuancé qui rappelle la Bourgogne ou les crus les plus aériens du Beaujolais. Un vin pas aussi évident qu’il n’y parait qui a besoin de temps pour se révéler. — 5 years ago

Another interesting one. Would have guessed it was a young big year Oregon Pinot. — 3 years ago

Un beau vin sur la finesse, la pureté et l’élégance, l’acidité est un peu en retrait mais elle est tout de même suffisante pour en faire un bel ensemble, meilleur au jour 2. 91-92

Very classy and elegant wine with a backward acidity but enough to support the whole thing, very pure and clean, precise. Better on day two. — 4 years ago

Wow! Strawberries and vibrant fresh red fruit with such purity and great balance, pure candy to go with an amazing blueberry cheesecake dessert in a great restaurant. Floored by that pairing!

Smells Like watermelon, light citrus, and a little bit of vanilla. Deep rosy pink color. Delightfully fruity, but still manages to be refreshingly dry. It should have been a little colder, so I suggest almost ice cold temperatures for this one. Delicious. — 3 years ago
