NV What a good effort of the cooperative from d’Orschwiller. Very refreshing and festive bubbly from Pinot Blanc and Pinot Auxerrois. Got Gold from Gilbert & Gaillard. Expressive mousse. The muselet says ‘Amour’ and that’s a good attitude to this Cremant. And life of course… have a good Sunday. Paired with scrambled eggs for breakfast. — 4 years ago

Angevine surprise based on cabernet-Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Original biodynamic wine, with a very reduced sulphur intake and benefiting from ageing in oak barrels. With a beautiful freshness typical of the Loire wines, it has a depth and an aromatic complexity that is all the better expressed as the wine has a few years of ageing. 2016 is a remarkable balance where cedar, musk, blackcurrant participate in a rich aromatic bouquet, alongside the notes of liquorice, or slightly canneled pepper. Somewhere between Loire and Bordelais.
Surprise Angevine à base de cabernet- Sauvignon et Cabernet Franc. Vin original, en biodynamie avec un apport en souffre très réduit et bénéficiant d’un élevage en fût de chêne. Doté d’une belle fraîcheur typique des vins de Loire, il n’en possède pas moins une profondeur et une complexité aromatique qui s’expriment d’autant mieux que le vin a quelques années de garde. 2016 est d’un équilibre remarquable où cèdre, musk, cassis participent d’un bouquet aromatique riche, aux côtés des notes de réglisse, ou poivre légèrement cannelé. Quelque part entre Loire et Bordelais. — 5 years ago
2019 vintage. Medium body. Decent amount of oak present without overt, initial domination but with Hendrixian sustain/feedback. A spit of overripe red delicious apple swirling about + Persian lime and Meyer lemon. Hints of wet stone/minerals evident with a bit of sifting and sorting. Cushioned, sated finish on a 45-second, silken palate pillow. Personally, could use slightly more acidity in residence but this should maximum volume ready steady go for another decade. 01.19.25. — a year ago

Probably my all-time favourite white - perfect balance of acidity and sweetness, slight hint of mineral notes and lots of fruit (lychee, peaches, some pear). Lovely stuff! — 6 years ago
