Community Tasting Note

Alex G. Likes this wine:

Friday, December 31, 2021 - Ripe and juicy pear on the attack. Mild and creamy citrus a la lemon cream pie on the midpalate. Both carry through to the long finish, which is joined by chalky mineral.

As delightful as the flavors are, the texture is even more special. It is so refined, filigreed like diamond dust. Magnificent.

There’s a touch of matchstick on the nose, just enough to notice but doesn’t mar the fruit and white flowers.

I am a big fan of this producer, and this wine in this vintage is hands down the finest wine I have tasted from them. In other vintages, I greatly enjoyed Genevrieres, but didn’t find it to be a big step up from the stellar Chevalieres and Grands Charrons. In this vintage it’s the star, even over those other superb wines

I would expect this to hold at this great level for a few years, maybe it improves but I’d feel greedy asking this wine tor more than the spectacular showing it is delivering today.
