Chamomile, honey, rain water nose. Cloudy pale yellow. Super soft mouth feel, with some skin contact notes. Yeasty banana bread, lemon. Drank at bacchanal on a lovely September night with George. — a year ago
Very solid well made Macon, nicely balanced with subtle fruit that needs a 10 minutes or so to pop out of the glass. Fine food wine — 2 months ago

Inaugural release from Pauline, Raphaël Bérèche’s wife. Made of old-vine Pinot Noir from her own family’s estate. 48 months on lees and with a dosage of 3.5 g/l. Scarce as hen’s teeth with a mere 1996 bottles produced. Delicious, though I did find it a tad simple (and primary). Heaps of green apples and citrus fruits. Tasted almost like Zapple for those in the know. Air did coax out the more mineralic elements, along with hints of nuttiness and toast. Good energy. A lovely first release and definitely one to follow. — a year ago

This 2018 Raphaël Midoir Touraine Oisly La Plaine des Cailloux looks beautiful in the glass, with a rich golden color suggesting either age or sweetness. It is definitely not a dessert wine, so it is possible that the five years are showing in the color. However, it is said that the golden color is an identifying feature of wines from the Touraine Oisly. The palate is full of apples and flowers, while the palate has a savory presentation of citrus, apricot and just a hint of grapefruit. It is definitely an old world Sauvignon Blanc, with all the elegance that implies. — a year ago
