Rive Sud

Marc Hébrart

Rive Gauche-Rive Droite Grand Cru Extra Brut Champagne Blend 2015

50/50 Pinot Noir / Chardonnay blend disgorged Oct 2022. This a champagne where the grapes of the blend each had the opportunity to strut their stuff. Scents of almonds , croissant, baked apple and lemons put a smile on my face. On the palate berries show up to fight the citrus. Young , with the acid levels I like. If I had to bet, this is a champagne that will benefit from age and gain in complexity. — 19 days ago

Lato Sud Nerello Mascalese 2019

Love the smoky notes without it being overwhelming. Great contrast to the cherry-fruity notes from the nerello. — a year ago

Club W

L'Atelier du Sud Pays Macon Chardonnay

No longer a “Vin de Bourgogne”, now a “Produit de France” this is still a great example of a French Chardonnay. Slightly more mineral than a typical Burgundy, light bodied with peach and melon followed by a crisp, clean, and quick finish that then returns with some grass and citrus. — 4 years ago

Les Champs Rouges Les Parcelles Rares Jura Sud Revermont Chardonnay

The favorite wine from my tasting with Matt and Paul. Stunning. layered, complex and evolved through the night. Unfortunately, the only bottle I had. Labet is getting nearly impossible to source. Excellent pair with crab mac and cheese. — 9 months ago
