The 1999 Clos de la Roche VV pours a slightly hazy ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with gorgeous notes of ripe red and black fruits: raspberry, bruised strawberry, black cherry, dried red flowers, licorice, mushroom, sous bois, all spice. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and dripping with complexity. During the first couple hours, this was pretty locked up and willing to share its secrets. Towards the end of the night, this ended up being one of the wines what really started to pour it on. My favorite pairing with the boeuf Bourguignon. Drink now with some patience but better after 2029 and through 2049 with ease. — 11 days ago

Honeysuckle, apricot marmalade, persimmon.

Silken. Super balanced. Bought two. One to drink tonight and one to drink down the line.

Tropical fruits, balanced acidity, melts on the palate like a pad of butter made of wildflowers and honey. — a month ago

Light to mid golden in colour. Aromatics of yellow orchard fruits and melon with a touch of honey/beeswax. An oxidative style - almost unctuous in texture. Great flavours. I don’t drink many Loire Valley wines - this was very good. — 3 days ago

Sweet fruit. Intense dark plum. Still quite tight. Great fruit… stop young. A lot of upside — 9 days ago

Beautiful dry Vouvray Chenin Blanc, color suggests it’s fully mature, though I think it will still improve, long, lingering finish, very fine!! — 2 days ago

We loved this wine with a black grouper with lemongrass…full bouquet, floral taste accented the somewhat Vietnamese dish. — 25 days ago
