2023 vintage. Medium bodied. A bit more stuffing than recent vintages. Nice blend of fruit and spices along with excellent value. Not scary. I suppose we’ll keep it on the btg list. 6.29.26. — 5 days ago

Very standard Cab Sauv on the nose, but the palate is more fruit forward than I expected with hints of blackberry and even a little cherry. Also hints of tobacco. Solid tannins on the finish. — 2 years ago

@Delectable Wine : This is Domaine Les Monts Fournois’s Vallée 75 Mois de Cave - Premier Cru NV de Luxe. I didn’t see it in the database.

From winemaker Juliette Alips (Louis Latour, GD Vajra, Louis Roederer), cousin of the Bereche brothers (who are helping consult).

I love any and all things by Bereche, so when this new producer became available to try, I bought this as well as the vintage Grand Cru Cramant (which I posted a month or two ago).

As the name suggests, this receives 75 months on the lees. Base 2015, disgorged Sept ‘22. Blend of Pinot Noir (70%), Chardonnay (20%), and Pinot Meunier (10%). What I enjoyed about this over the Cramant was how Bereche-like it was. Powerful, beautifully ripe, textural as expected from the extended lees contact. Spiced golden apple, Mirabelle, layers of ripe and exotic yellow fruit before channeling the darker red berry fruit. Kiss of toast and sea spray at the finish. Wears its 5.5g/l dosage really well. I enjoyed this quite a bit. 93+ — 3 years ago

2017 vintage. Another great wine from the Chenu sisters. Les Talmettes is all about subtlety and finesse. Floral, subtle perfume, and velvety, elegant and layered taste. Great length. Absolutely delicious. — 6 years ago

A nice, perfectly balanced rosé - will hold its own against the big boys from Éperney, This sparkler has a great delicate balance of young red fruit and a satisfying full mouth feel ending in a nice tapered finish. Drink early and often! — 8 years ago

Tasted it along side Juliette and it’s striking how different they are. Big stone fruit, nice acid, should age wonderfully, I bought multiples of this. — 2 years ago

Great value for the price. Very fresh, crisp, dry wine with green apples and grapefruit notes. Pleasant acidity, not as „stingy” as usually Picpoul is. Perfect companion to simple spaghetti with olive oil, pizza with white sauce or any friend who just steps by to talk about summer vacations in the South of France. — 5 years ago

A very good example of a typical Brut. Good nose, dry, smooth with pear overtones and perhaps a touch of citrus. A great first wine for Une Femme ‘The Juliette’ produced for Jen Pelka of The Riddler by Gonet-Médeville vineyards. At Parcelle Wine School Feb 11th — 6 years ago

I don't know how to describe the smell. Tone of cassis, a small tone of tannins and a mineral background. Not too intense. — 9 years ago
