2020 Les Vins Contés (Olivier Lemasson) R20
4/27/2024 - Putnam Weekley Likes this wine: 93 Points
4/12. See my previous note 400-some days ago for a comprehensive and still-valid take. Today it has the added appeal of flavor permeability and dappled illumination, which gives it action, transparency, and haste. Sticky strands of ruby acidity loft in sun and breeze. For the first time in a while this betrays a strongly typical flavor/texture of Cabernet Franc. Its natal qualities were a mask, now lifted.

2014 Château Simone Palette Blanc
4/26/2024 - Putnam Weekley Likes this wine: 95 Points
Clairette (studio): From magnum; soaked cork with expired bloom on top. A tall aromatic stack leads with curious red praline fossils imbricated with intense nutshell. Fog, forest mushrooms, scotch wool, iced/mint coastal air. A determined spine of resin organizes the experience, stained with glycerin acidity. Drink now-2040. 94-95.

24 hours later, somehow it improved—trending dry, aerosol in flavor, and unified/coherent.

2020 Château Simone Palette Blanc
4/26/2024 - Putnam Weekley Likes this wine: 93 Points
Clairette (studio): 2/10. 55-60° F. In 445 days this has shed virtually all sensations of fermentation (esters/lees) and exposed a comfortable degree of balsam and oak. Burgundian cultured pear/starfruit, red apple skin tannins, and lunging acidity animate the event. The texture is dense, mineral-transparent, and fresh.
Served in sequence between Clairette blends Martin Texier's 2021 La Rouviere and Simone's 2014 Palette Blanc from magnum.
