2016 vintage. This estate, owned by the Thomas family, is known for a very high percentage of Petit Verdot in the blend. In this case 20%, with equal parts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. While 2019 still has some rough edges, in 2016 the Petit Verdot seems to have been perfectly ripe. Violet, black pepper, blackberries, licorice and cherries. Abv. 14%. — a day ago

Interesting Rhone White Blend. Roussane, Grenache and Viognier. Citrus and floral notes on the nose. Lemon and limes along with an herbaceous note on the pallet. Creamy texture with a lot of acidity. Nice! — 10 years ago

Tannins very strong yet, with some protein or aged for 10 years or so would be lovely.! — 11 years ago

An easy drinking sparking wine from Anderson Valley in California.

Nicely balanced with nice complexity and mouthfeel. Crisp and fresh tasting.

Would be nice to revisit it in 3 to 5 years.

A nice sipping wine that will also pair nicely food.

A blend of 52% Chardonnay and 48% Pinot Noir. Disgorged in 2025.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

Expression concentrée et minérale du Pinot Noir en Loire. Belle acidité fondue portée par des notes primaires framboises/cerises. Corps et finale sur des notes florales, herbacées et terreuses. Tanins persistants tout en finesse. Belles notes musquées et épicée. Superbe dans cette gamme de prix.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2023 pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of yellow apple, pineapple, white flowers, and a touch of lemon cream. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. Pretty delicious stuff considering the humble price. Drink now. — 14 days ago

In a blind tasting this could easily be confused with a NZ Sauv Blanc....there are a number of tasting similarities...except NZ continues to struggle to produce this level of sophistication. (Just down the road from Sancerre, this Menetou-Salon is a lovely, lovely wine.) — 7 years ago
