This is the best Chorey. I will fight you over that. Unreal nose. Just the cleanest and most expansive cherry fruit ever. Massive earth tones, massive mineral and so so expansive. Utterly classic as well as Ledy is as classic as it gets but also is such a clean and skilled winemaker that it’s not a dirty classicism. Juicy, young, sappy and so so pure. Amazing depth and so so clean. Just ultra clean. Pure and the best balance. He is the master of under $40 red burgs. And under $30 when tariffs actually go away. Amazingly compact fruit and such length, suavity and a hidden structure for this to age so well. — 4 years ago

Very impressed by both wines I’ve had from this Chateau in the last year. Drinks way above its price. Cassis, black fruits, pencil lead, good structure for aging. — 4 years ago

I really do love this wine. It hasn’t failed me yet! It is middle of the road high at around $65, but delicious & worth it! — 4 years ago

I carricante believe how delicious this is at the price. (Pun credit to @Adriana Fabbro). Pale yellow, toasty nuts, lemon zest, honey, dried flowers and hay on the nose, palate is viscous and honeyed but with searing acidity, lemon and chalk, green apple, melon, peach, smoky sage on the back. Just got a couple in and opened one just for the halibut. — 4 years ago

Plums, sour cherries, but also mineral intensity of rocky shorelines and saline sea air flows from the Sicilian southeastern coast — 4 years ago

Lit! Walks the fine line between Chablis and Chardonnay with a flinty nose and bright citrus flavors. Almond and butter add to the mouthfeel on a long crisp finish. Will revisit after this has had a few years to settle. — 4 years ago

Oh baby, it's Sauv Blanc time again in Texas! The temp climbed over 75° and that was all I needed.

Pale gold color with a hint of green. Fresh, tart, crisp, passionfruit, pear, green apple. Really well balanced, doesn't grip too tight, with a lingering, pleasant finish. I'm a happy camper. — 4 years ago

Dark ruby with aroma of dark fruit. Smooth dry on the palate with dark cherries plum leather. This is a really good Chianti — 4 years ago

Lovely dance of old vine palomino & moscatel. Full-bodied, medium acidity. Sweetness from the muscat buttressed by saline texture, minerality, star anise, white flowers. Beautiful work. — 4 years ago
