Deux Couleurs Orange 2022

Been waiting to try this producer for ages, didn’t disappoint; electric tropical fruit and florals on the nose, ripe guava, then tastes zingy and even with great grip and distant bitterness at the end, so good to see someone getting this style just right without any crazy notes putting the whole thing off course. — 2 years ago

Cuvée Armandine Blanc de Blancs

A very nice BdB made in an oxidative style - ripe yellow & red apples, bruised apples, subtle shortbread & brioche, a hint of fresh hazelnuts. Rich, evolved, so nice.
Very fine mousse on the palate, persistent bubbles, beautifully balanced with just a touch of residual sugar adding a nice creaminess on the palate.
This is truly a nice sipping bubbly.

Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Rosé Blend 2017

Delicious Musar Rose from a young vintage. Complex flavors that really opened up with the decanting recommended by Yannick Benjamin. Great combination with the spice and textures of the Peruvian food at Contento. — 5 years ago

Les Malgagnes Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2016

vintage 2016 | Odd experience. With 10 y I thought this to be a perfect wine for my Sunday dinner. When my wife and I tasted it we were making funny faces to each other. Verdict: undrinkable. We put it back in the bottle and I took it to a blind tasting with friends. They appreciated the wine. With 72+ hours air the wine came to life. Nice cab franc characteristics. — 3 months ago

l'Oiselet Saint-Chinian Red Blend

Interesting blend. The ‘17 still had a touch too much acidity in ‘23, but I can see it’ll knit nicely as it goes on. Individual wine from a personal vision, meant for the long run. — 3 years ago

Blanc Pinot Gris Terret

Rich floral summer bouquet on a hot sunny day, tart mealy apples, pears, honeysuckle palate with a lightly prickly finish that has a touch of leathery earth. Really elegant and pretty wine ☀️ — 4 years ago

COTE 50 Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2018

Tør, næsten streng vin med masser af rå solbær i næse og mund. Trods garvesyre og rank krop et meget drikkevenligt glas vin. — 5 years ago

Couronne de Chabot Saint-Joseph Marsanne 2017

Alluring yellow fruit and citrus aromas with some minerality that opens to well-balanced and juicy flavors on the tongue. A bit of a bite on the finish. Best served chilled. — 7 years ago

La Source Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2022

Opened yesterday, drank over 2 days.
The nose is very fruity and intense with dark cherry touches, earthy notes, some raspberry and blackberry scents too. I could even smell some peony notes too. This is really inviting. The palate is wide and long and quite complex. A good acid drive, some dark cherry notes all along, some very soft and easy going mouthfeel that is changing in mid palate with a great tannic wall, which adds a layer of dust over an otherwise quite juicy and fruity finish. In the back-end though, there is a tiny savoury note that pops along with a subtle bitterness. This is really my kind of cab franc. Really good stuff!

Quite nice - pretty “down the middle” for chablis, but in a good way. — 4 years ago

Juicy, fresh, and delicious with just enough of that peppery note to keep a sense of place. As usual a great rec from Yannick — 5 years ago

Guer-Van Crozes-Hermitage White Rhone Blend 2015

A balanced if a bit timid wine that would absolutely shine when enjoyed with a light seafood dish. 100% Marsanne. — 7 years ago
