La Pepie Muscadet Sevre et Maine Sur Lie Melon de Bourgogne 2024

A little leaner than 2023 but still beautiful, lemon and lime and flint. — 5 months ago

Daumas Gassac

Rosé Frizant Vin de Pays de l'Hérault Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

Trying the Mas de Daumas Gassac lineup. Aside from their flagship Languedoc red this might be my fav. It’s rose sparkling with incredibly bright strawberry notes and deep acidity. Light lees flavour. The hefty body and full mousse really make it stand out. Wow. — 7 months ago

Clisson Muscadet Sèvre et Maine Melon de Bourgogne 2009

Lemon and honey, stony minerality, great acid and depth on the palate, even at age 16 this has lots of life left in it (5-10 more years), very long, lingering finish, great Muscadet!! — a year ago

@Doug Powers thanks to a wine mentor I too learned of the beauty of aged Muscadet. He also educated me that Bojo can age. When ignorance is turned into knowledge, it can be very rewarding.

@Ira Schwartz, I remember visiting Marc Olivier @ Pepiere one January (2007?) with two of my wine group friends, he climbed in our car and we drove out to see some of the vineyards, including Clisson. The amount of shells and granite was amazing. One of the nicest vignerons I’ve ever met!!

Domaine Romaneaux-Destezet (Hervé Souhaut)

Vin de Pays de l'Ardèche Syrah

A glass full of violets. Tannic finish. Complex. Don’t let it open too long or oxidizes quickly. — 5 years ago

La Démarrante Vin de Pays de la Vallée du Paradis Red Blend 2021

Light body, yet rich in flavor. Smooth, with no distracting notes or aftertaste. A nice vintage—great with a light meal, charcuterie, or dessert — 9 months ago

Daumas Gassac

Vin de Pays de l'Hérault White Blend 2021

Great as always. A seductive perfume of white lily and jasmine flowers waft from the glass, and there is exquisite balance on the palate, with a bit of Viognier/Chenin “gras” paired with wet rocks, a refreshing tartness and almost phenolic spice on the finish. — 4 years ago

Le 'L' d'Or Cuvée Médaillée Sur Lie Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine Melon de Bourgogne 2009
