Domaine Les Roches (Alain et Jérome Lenoir)
Chinon Cabernet Franc 2005
@Doug Powers Love the Texier anecdote
@Ira Schwartz, all true, he took us to Domaine Chamonard (we were so cold tasting there that our teeth were literally chattering), also Lapalu and Janin in Beaujolais, always in his own cellars, and we’d spend a day at the Marche aux Vins in Ampuis!! In addition to making fabulous wines himself, Eric was so generous with his knowledge and connections, Lenoir in Chinon being another one!!
@Doug Powers I know it’s all true. Some of the wine folks I hang out with are close to him and every time he would visit NYC they would have dinners with him. 
Domaine des Roches Neuves (Thierry Germain)
Clos de L'Échelier Dampierre Sur Loire Saumur Champigny Cabernet Franc 2022
Been a while since I have had these wines and wow is this insanely great. Nose is a bit quiet but there’s some cassis and kirsch and slight herbal edge that’s so appealing. Smokey and very complex. But the palate is OMG level. Juicy and so sleek. Sweet fruit, unreal velvety tannin and so fresh. Structure to burn and such freshness and a huge mineral finish. Out of this world. Can’t wait till it opens up. Masterful. Unreal complexity and elegance. This could go to 9.7. — a month ago
