It’s Miller time. Well…actually Billecart time. I like this more than I buy it. One of good cuvées easily found in 375ml.
The body creamy, layered, nice c02, bruised golden & green apple, ripe Bosc pear, pineapple flesh, tropical melons-mango driven, lime & lemon zest, cream soda, cream, white spice-ginger, bread, yeast, brioche, soft but grainy moist chalkiness, sea spray/fossils, slightly chard sourdough toast, wet/softened alluvial, limestone, wet river stone, notes of flintiness, yellow lilies, white orchids, fruit blossoms, jasmine, rainfall acidity, excellent balanced fruit & earth, tension, structure with a juicy two-minute polished finish that falls onto beautiful minerality.
BTW, home grown tomatoes with Companion Bakery wheat sourdough, lightly toasted w/ olive oil, burrata, Tondo balsamic (stunning), olive oil & fresh basil never gets old. — 2 years ago
Forgot to save my thorough notes(!!!). From memory - the nose hits you with overt apricot, fresh figs, lots of nuts (including pistachio ice cream), and a bit of faint tangerine. It tastes like a pastry - almonds, sugar, coconut cream, apricot, cookies and cakes and dessert oh my. Finished with honeycomb. Very different than the Sauternes I am accustomed to, but very good. 93. — 3 years ago

Amber in color with a brown hue.
Sweet nose with cherries, overripe apples, oranges, honey, apricots, lemons, honeysuckle and Indian spices.
Full-bodied with high acidity and fat legs.
Sweet on the palate with apples, apricots, ripe pears, light black tea, herbs, light earth, Indian spices and chocolates.
Long finish with honey and spices.
This is a gorgeous Ice Wine made from Cabernet Franc grapes. Very complex at this point, engaging and interesting.
This 9 year old is nicely aged, sweet and delicious, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Well balanced, sweet and easy drinking. Rich and extracted. Fruit forward and entertaining.
A great dessert wine, and good by itself.
Drank from a 375ml bottle.
11.5% alcohol by volume.
95 points.

Actually Gracious Picpoul. Nice crisp white. Will buy again. — 3 years ago
Lighter appearance but big and bold flavors - ripe yellow apples, caramelized fruits, limes, vanilla and cream. Acidity/lime keeps it from going over the top with the ripeness and richness. Moderate amount of matchstick. Drinking well now but definitely has more time to enjoy. — 3 years ago
Cherry, strawberry, cream, raspberry, lemon and ripe peach. Great acidity and balance. — 3 years ago
Perfect right now — 4 years ago
