Rather dry, light orange wine. Its pale, light orange color is a surprise , as is the taste. Apricot and peach hints with a drier, stonier finish. Would buy again. Maule Valley, torontel grapes — a year ago

Super intense on the nose, just starting to show tertiary flavours. Bright red berries, touch of funk and forest floor. — 10 years ago

2013 - Delicious. Subtle oak ageing really brings this wine together. Smooth, buttery, floral, but a freshness and acidity which shows the care of winemaking.
2008 - nice, but not as good as the 2007. rich, some minerality coming through which lingers long after the first sip. A bit flabby.
2007 - much stonier, drier and cleaner on the nose. Lively acidity driven by minerality. Really lovely. — 11 years ago

Super delicious drop! Mike Symons (GM/Winemaker) was gracious enough to give me a tour of his operation and cracked this beauty open when we got back to the tasting room. — 11 years ago

Lighter vs the Hundertgulden. More pomelo & lemon. Less reduction, a touch shy. Stonier, too.
Ascetic & linear on the palate with racy juicy acidity. Salty minerality, exotic spice. What length! Wow. Racy yet so drinkable. Wow!! One of the highlights in ‘22! — 3 years ago

What. A. Nose. Clay, dry clay and wet clay, olive, game, red berry fruit, granite and very stoney. Smells so old school and very stoney. Elegant and so pure. Beautiful. Very pure. Gorgeous black cherry as well and blackberry. Really compelling. Palate is super juicy and clean. Gorgeous mouthfeel and super stoney complexity. Balanced, clean and so pure. Inner mouth aromas are violets. Awesome. The stonier side of St. Joseph. Long chewy and very velvety tannins. Really great. Sappy tiny berry fruit intensity as well on the finish but the stones wash it all away. — 6 years ago

Savoury, mineral flavours nicely balanced with strawberry lifts. Some whole bunch stuff going on, a bit of funk on the nose, nice drying tannin anchors it all. — 8 years ago

Lots of CO2 in here, so it requires some heavy shaking and/or a long decant. As a general rule, I don't find trousseau to have quite the intrigue that poulsard does, but this one is a little stonier and less simple-fruity (and more structured) than most, with a complexion of cranberry and roses. The fruit unfurls a bit more and picks up a satiny texture once it kicks that CO2, while still having a nice acidic zing. 10% whole cluster according to the importer web page. — 10 years ago

I am not a Chardonnay lover but this is so good! Oregon chards just tend to be less oaky and a little stonier. This one’s a keeper!! — 4 years ago

2022/5/20-21. We had this alongside the Sous le Château from the same vintage. Rich yellow. This is the leaner, stonier of the two, with a nice sour-sweet citrus profile. There’s a subtle honied creaminess hiding in the background - less prominent than with the Château, but clearly there, suggesting this is in its prime drinking window. — 4 years ago

A lovely pinot, wonderful balance between fruit and savoury. Slightly smokey characteristics. Not a lot of length but very pleasant wine. 2013 vintage consumed January 2017. — 9 years ago

Wonderful closing night offering in Strasbourg. Stonier than Burgundy pinots -- would have liked to try it with tarte flambee and choucroute instead of haute cuisine. — 11 years ago
