Love these 🍾 decadent brioche but also underlying minerality! Great w crab salad at Mosca’s in Nola! — a year ago
2019 showing great – black cherry, dark earth, bit of spice – these wines are easy to love with their charming fruit and perfume from the whole clusters – they are good out of the gate but also with a touch of age – has anyone had them with significant age? Paired with roasted duck and fall veggie salad! — 2 years ago
Very rich, decadent! Baked apple, puff pastry, mineral but not as much acid as I expected. Still a Xmas treat w oyster stew! — 3 months ago
Special wine for a special occasion a few weeks back…my fave kind of burgundy & look at that price from 7 years ago 😂 I did think this wine was in a great spot right now. of course you could continue to age it but I really liked its profile currently 😍 red fruit, dried earth, some savory herbs! — 9 months ago
It’s been a while delectable, but I am still here 😂 and determined to get back to recording stuff here as it really is a great resource! And this wine is a great place to start.. It’s totally over delivering: lemon & rocks. Zippy acidity even with some age.! Great with cheese, but really looking forward to it with triggerfish & a nice spring salad 💫💫💫 — a year ago
Love these wines! Sadly, I think they have become very hard to get & more expensive. But they are completely outstanding. Red & black fruit. Dry earth. Pretty light tannins it could be because the little bit of bottle age. In a great place! Perfect with pork chops and summer salad : farro, butterbeans, tomatoes, and mozzarella 😋 — 8 months ago
This is my first time tasting this producer. Certainly very good very high-quality … a little bit more dark fruit than I prefer but totally enjoyable! Dark fruit, wet earth, mineral backbone. Had w pork chops 🤤 — 10 months ago
Orange pith & some herbal, vermouth like element & loads of minerality. Not funky. Not crazy complex. But yummy! — a year ago
Super yum with leftover veggies 💖 some red fruit but mostly minerality 🏔️ — 2 years ago

The 2018 is in a very good spot right now. It’s beginning to show tertiary like hay and chamomile but also have plenty of lemon. It’s really reminiscent of lemon curd or a lemon chess pie. and then, of course there’s some mineral finish. So good with local grouper and a salad while remembering my grandmother‘s birthday…she loved her Chardonnay. 🥰 — 5 days ago
