2/5/2024 - Intergraz wrote: 93 pointsThis wine is excellent and the best cab franc I have drank. It maybe lacks a little on the finish that keeps it from being world class but I think that is a bit of the varietal. It is undeniably cab franc and all around delicious. I have to try some other wines from this producer and would buy more of this. |

2/4/2024 - jhbrower1 Likes this wine: 88 pointsThis is good. Great nose, with ripe, suprisingly dark fruits, and plenty of cab franc pyrazines. Palate is juicier than expected and still varietally correct. Perhaps just a touch spritzy. I like the wine, but it is way too expensive for what it is. |

12/28/2023 - Shrages wrote: 92 pointsThis is a lovely wine. Fresh, with lemon the dominant flavor, but a soft and silky mouthfeel. There’s a bit of honey, but absolutely zero cloying character. . Perfectly in balance, with gentle acid. I really enoyed it with seared scallops. Would also be great as a non-Chardonna, highish end crowd pleaser at a cocktail party. The Lieu Dit bottle is distinctive and artful. Buying more ASAP. |

12/19/2023 - HeavyPourWine Likes this wine: 89 pointsLe Bilboquet Holiday Dinner (Atlanta, GA): Tasted at Somm Guild of ATL Holiday dinner @ Le Bilboquet. Paired with Red and Golden Beets, Goat Cheese and Orange Salad. Not as expressive as the 2021 Aperture Sauvignon Blanc Soil Specific that was served next to it. Brad - heavypourwine.com |

Instead, there was a pleasant suggestion of herbs, and slight pleasant stringency. Quite enjoyable, with good acidity, and not nearly as simple as some of the descriptions below. |

10/15/2023 - juleswinnfield2517 Does not like this wine: 87 pointsRed fruit, cola, and a hint of spice. My bottle had very slight petillance. The body had some weight, but there's just not enough to it. Could be enjoyable if you are looking for a beginner red. It's red. And, it's wine. |

7/17/2023 - markydecker Likes this wine: 85 pointsVery light bodied and austere. Large dollop of acidity (not offensive to my palate which loves the acid). Grassy, grapefruit notes at the forefront. Refreshing summertime quaff. Good QPR. Not unpleasant with a Cobb salad on a 104 degree Texas summer evening. |

7/8/2023 - Bjweiss Likes this wine: 90 pointsI enjoy some pyrazines on my cab franc, and this delivers It’s a well made wine and my only knock is that it doesn’t show a ton of terroir, but I really enjoyed it nonetheless. If you’re a Chinon fan, this will feel familiar. And if you’re into sweeter, riper California reds, this isn’t going to be your jam. |
