La Marginale Saumur-Champigny Cabernet Franc 2022

Really an excellent cab franc. Have had stuff from Thierry Germain before but not this bottling. Perfect with a variety of Syrian dishes at Damas in Montreal. Bright, restrained fruit, excellent acid. Nice finish. — a month ago

Les Mémoires Saumur-Champigny Cabernet Franc 2018

Lyle Fass
9.6

Red currants, smoke, herbs, with laser like precision. Palate is energetic, sappy and so dense, but wow that energy. Unreal freshness and acidity. Outrageous length and complexity. — a month ago

Les Chevalières Meursault Chardonnay 2022

9.0

My continuing quest to taste as many 22 Burgundies as possible…

Nose is not all that expressive. Lemon, lime, green apple, tropical melons, honey notes, cream, sea spray, pleasant chalkiness, limestone, volcanics, spring flowers framed in yellow lilies.

Palate is; round, high viscosity, paraffin, lemon syrup, lime, nice green apple with skin, tropical melons, hints of kiwi, honey notes, cream, sea spray, nicely toned white spices/ some palate heat, pleasant chalkiness, limestone, volcanics, hints of mushroom, light caramel notes, soft wood tones, white spring flowers framed in yellow lilies, very good acidity and a nicely balanced, well tensioned, polished elegant finish that lasts a full minute and lands on gentle spice & earthiness.

90+ a little with 3 yrs in bottle.

Saumur-Champigny Cabernet Franc

Getting ahead with some research off to Saumur/Loire Vallée, this little Saumur Champigny punches above it's weight, up there with mid level burgundy, climate change has done well for Cab Francs, Pinot Noir from Loire Vallée. Well structured, light but with a bit of depth, berries galore, bio organic too! — 4 months ago
