Un Saumon dans la Loire

La Petite Gaule du Matin Montlouis-sur-Loire Chenin Blanc

Crystal clear, pale yellow with greenish hues, only really effervescent on the palate, not really showing bubbles in the glass, with a crisp minerality, vegetal notes of hay, maybe the scent of sand, crisp green fruits, like green fig, with some tart yellow fruit and a slight funk on the nose. Light to medium body, with crisp acidic and mineral freshness, crisp apple like flavors and a distinct natural wine funk that lingers into the long finish. — 10 days ago

'S' Blanc de Blancs Le Mesnil Brut Chardonnay 1996

No formal notes . Medium lemon colour . Quite a lot of very fine bubbles still . Quite young in appearance. Elegant and relatively youthful with citrus , white flowers, baked pastry , good freshness with mineral, oyster shell notes. On the palate very high acidity , really marked by that taut profile but still enough creamy mouthfeel to make this very complete with a pastry , citrus and mineral focused finish . Very intense and long. Drinking perfectly now and over the next 5-10 years — a month ago

Millésime Grand Cru Brut Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay Champagne

We had the 2012 and it was fabulous. All the purity and grace of grand cru Chardonnay, with elegant depth from the honey and nut overtones that age brings. This was a wonderful experience. (Pro tip: Please don’t drink it too cold: you’ll miss so many of the flavors!) — an hour ago

Le Mesnil-Sur-Oger Brut Champagne Blend 2018

What a treat. Salons 2nd Cru if you will. This balnc de blancs is more balanced than most I’ve tried and a delight with seafood. — a month ago

Krug

Clos du Mesnil Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne Chardonnay 2008

A little smoky and flinty, a shift of gears from the other 2008 Krugs. Loaded with acid but with the weight to balance it. — 2 months ago

Clos des Briords Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Muscadet Sèvre & Maine Sur Lie Melon de Bourgogne 2010

This lovely Muscadet “Briords” has held up well, more honeyed and less acid than 8-10 years ago, but drinking very well tonight, lingering finish. — 11 hours ago
