Romorantin

Domaine Philippe Tessier

La Porte Dorée Cour-Cheverny Romorantin 2020

2020. I believe this is my first Romorantin based wine, so I read through the tasting notes here and was excited to try it. Rich orchard fruit, good acid, and definitely get the oxidized sherry-like notes some mentioned. Paired with snacks while watching the Masters. Not quite their Pimento Cheese Sandwich, but my goat cheese stuffed roasted red peppers and black olives went great with the wine! — 7 months ago

Plénitude Cour-Cheverny Romorantin 2008

Very mineral with floral notes as well, I do love aged Romorantin, great acidity, balance and depth, long, lingering finish, this should continue to improve for 5+ years!! — a month ago

Margins Wine

Block 20 Wilson Vineyards Chenin Blanc 2020

Tastes like strolling along a river bank on a sunny fall day with a slight chill in the air.

Unripe green apple, white grapefruit, white peach, white nectarine, lemon and tangerine oil, lime blossom... and SO MUCH minerality. This is textbook wet stone, cool slate, and sea-breeze salinity. Lean and precise, with laser-cut acidity; not austere, but it might be if it didn’t have such an unexpectedly lush mouthfeel.

If I didn’t know this was Chenin, I might blind it as an Aligoté or a Romorantin. I’d love to try this again in 3 years or so!

I really love her wines - especially the Chenins - and can’t wait to try this one.

Le Petit Chambord Vendanges Manuelles Cour-Cheverny AOC Romorantin 2006

A 2006 late harvest Romorantin from the Loire Valley. Off dry and delicious with food
Beeswax, hazelnuts, honeysuckle (def botrytised)
This wine leads with minerality but has flavors of lemon rind and stone fruit. 🫶

Nice wine to finish the evening with a crème brûlée. Not too sweet. Apricot, honey with some crispness. — 3 years ago

Domaine du Moulin (Hervé Villemade)

Cour-Cheverny Les Petits Acacias Romorantin 2003

Very interesting wine! I don’t know that I’ve had this grape before. The minerality is really wild and reminds of some steely Burg — 4 years ago
