  February 7, 2014 - Not as good out the previous ones but still vey enjoyable. This one just seemed to lack a little something on the mid palate.
  Light, fresh red and dark fruits. Not a lot of structure but that's not the point with this wine.

  April 1, 2012 - Such pretty wine drinking right in its window. Ridiculous nose speaking truly of place, a bucolic symphony. Its all here on the palate, though a tad light, finishing stony and dry, slightly green. As always, best with grilled lamb offal, etc. or cheeses. Love this stuff.

  February 16, 2012 - Classic CRB nose with dark brambly soily niceness and thats really it. the wine falls off and never really recovers, sporting a medium mouthfeel, thin and green, with little redemptive qualities. i drank 7/8 of this bottle just because it is clos roche blanche and at 12% its not really a big deal, kind of like the wine. i have 4 bottles left, trade me for clos rougeard?
