Yeah, what a wine. Full ripe tropical fruits, creamy vanilla with a light hint of caramel sweetness. Orange zest bitters. Quite sweet but just enough citrus sour to prevent it from becoming too thick. Mached excellent with the spicy lintal coconut dal for diner. But standalone it is even better. — 6 years ago
Nasty Women of the East Bay do Alsace. This wine, like so many from the region , overdelivers: jasmine, citrus, chalk with grapefruit pith and white pepper on the finish. Apparently a blend of 95% Auxerrois and 5% Pinot Blanc qualifies as a Pinot Blanc?!? The Alsatians rank up there with the Italians for confusing labeling conventions. Enjoyed. — 7 years ago
Fairly bright. Citrusy and floral with a bit of chalkiness, not overly minerally. — 10 months ago
Bottled 10/2021. An old favorite not had in years. I remember this being fresher with more citrus, playful. This edition is maltier, not quite as lively. Still delicious and a good match with homemade shawarma. To paraphrase Fernand Point— is it Saison DuPont that has changed, or have I? — 4 years ago

2018 vintage. Poulsard has very little pigmentation in the skin and therefore looks in general more like a rosé, but this wine has a very deep colour for this variety (typical for the vintage I was told). Éric Thill is a great producer, and this is a great example of the grape variety. Subtle, but captivating perfume, flowers mixed with red berries and a subtle hint of basil. Light and delicate in the mouth, but in no ways thin. Juicy bright red berries, a subtle spiciness and a nice tannic bite that gives it an irresistible slightly rustic charm. Good length too. Lovely. Be prepared to finish a whole bottle on your own. Abv. 12,5%. — 6 years ago

From 4 lieux-dits in Meursault, aged in barrel for 12 months, 20% new, and in concrete eggs for 8 months.
This Meursault is radiant and expressive in the stellar ‘22 vintage. Aromas of yellow peach, baked apple, and a hint of hazelnut. Broad palate with creamy texture balanced by a fresh, citric line. Good depth and long finish. A charming Meursault with finesse. — 7 months ago
2023 vintage. Another delicious Poulsard from Eric Thill. Typical light transparent ruby red colour. Delicate perfume of pomegranate, cuberdons, and flowers. Fresh, crispy red fruit, with light, velvety tannins and amazing length for such a light wine ( abv. 12%, which is slightly higher than the previous vintage). Very small production, a hard find, but well worth seeking out. — 2 years ago
The 2012 Fernand & Laurent Pillot Pommard Les Charmots Premier Cru is a truly captivating wine. With its deep ruby color and medium body, it exudes elegance from the very first glance. The fine lace tannins gracefully caress the palate, adding a touch of sophistication to this exquisite offering.
Upon nosing the wine, one is immediately greeted by a bouquet that is nothing short of enchanting. Plum and blackcurrant aromas intertwine with delicate notes of violet, cedar, and vanilla, creating a symphony of scents. Undertones of toasted coconut further enhance the aromatic profile, inviting the senses on a delightful journey.
On the palate, this wine shines with remarkable freshness and vibrant acidity. The blackcurrant flavors take center stage, accompanied by a subtle hint of white pepper that adds a touch of spice. The wine culminates in a captivating finish that leaves a lasting impression.
Overall, the 2012 Fernand & Laurent Pillot Pommard Les Charmots Premier Cru is a beautiful wine that provides an exceptional drinking experience. It is particularly remarkable as a first introduction to Pommard wines, showcasing the essence of this renowned appellation.

Pale colour, hints of green.
This seems still quite young, fresh and very energetic. Lemon, green apple, white peach and chamomille, dusted with some spice and minerality. Terrific! — 23 days ago
