A pleasant surprise! Beautiful floral nose. Fine mousse, crisp and clean. Enjoyed with charcuterie on #bastilleday #marchesachicago — 4 years ago

Makes up for the Armand. Beautiful right out of the cellar into the decanter. Translucent garnet, even cold the nose is pretty and lithe, with strawberries, light cherry, soy, mild earth. Still cellar temp too, will follow up in a bit with palate notes and rating; it's a little muted right now at 55 degrees, but very promising so far.

Follow up... palate opened up with time and temp but give it some fatty food now or another decade in the cellar, tannins still have some resolving to do. Get a strawberry cream to the nose now too, subtle mint, spice...young, but very good, bottle for #burgundythursday — 10 years ago

Very traditional and clean CdP but lacking something extra to make it special or unique. Still tasted fresh so age wasn't an issue. Good just not great. #bastilleday — 11 years ago

2006 La Font de Tonin is hitting on all cylinders tonight. Fruity and savory with that white pepper kick that I love from Bouïssiere. Perfect match for grilled steak - happy #bastilleday — 11 years ago

The "other" white grape of Burgundy, Olivier Leflaive's Aligoté is a glorious way to taste the renowned Meursault terroir and Olivier's expert winemaking at a price made for everyday drinking. We always love when a top domaine chooses to make a wine that can be on any table, anytime. Richly textured yet brisk on the palate, it's a secret weapon for food pairing - equally delightful with fresh oysters or simply grilled chicken.

Simple and pleasant Languedoc sparkler for #bastilleday and #tourdefrance 2017 stage 13 as we hit the Pyrenees again. Crisp acid and pear flavors. Served with Tarte aux tomates confit. — 9 years ago

Uber young but still delicious. Spicy, juicy layered, everything good #chateauneufdupape is with a little extra pop to make it special. Drink now or wait, you won't be sorry. #bastilleday — 11 years ago

Backed by a family winemaking legacy that predates the French Revolution, vigneron Michel Reverdy rebels by maintaining tradition in the face of modernity. He is a true shepherd of the land: in the vineyards every day without fail, never a day off nor vacation. His dedication is apparent in this classically elegant Sancerre with citrus-rich zip, clean smokey wafts and fresh green herbs and grass notes.

Refreshing and energetic, Muscadet is a stalwart must for summer drinking. A true winemaking renegade, Marc Ollivier's Domaine Pépière produces many of our favorites from the region. From 50-110 year old vines planted in granite (hence its previous name Granite de Clisson), this vintage is both sumptuous and vibrant, capturing richness and textural density from the extended lees aging and the nervous thrill of tightly coiled acidity and minerality we so love about his wines.

Super tight at first and only that big Syrah taste was present. But with just a little time, she opened right up. Bright plumb, black raspberries, and some light spices. Mild acid and medium tannins. A nice, solid finish. #bastilleday #wine #france — 9 years ago

Celebrating #bastilleday with Napa Chardonnay, just cause I'm like that. Dill and menthol on the nose, very enjoyable (if on the hot side). — 11 years ago

Excellent Jura blanc, nutty, bright with mineral finish #bastilleday — 11 years ago

Eric Texier is an undisputed trailblazer in the French wine world. Casting geographic boundaries and the estate tradition aside, he produces over 30 wines from 10 different regions. Eric put the previously neglected limstone-rich Rhône appellation Brézème on the map with his vigilent care for the vineyards (he's a dedicated biodynamicist) and thoughtful, lively wines. With textbook Syrah savory pepperyness and a Burgundian-inspired light hand, this flagship cuvée from Texier is consistently delicious and endlessly quaffable.
