 Tasted by winemaker on 11/24/2023 & rated 92 points: Love these wines! (142 views)
 Tasted by BCJ99 on 9/12/2023 & rated 92 points: My last bottle of Belluard, I always loved his wines. Looking forward to tasting the wines by Monsieur Gringet as a continuation of Dominique's legacy. This was drinking really well, very fresh, white flowers, white peach, green apple, lots of length and elegance (285 views)
 Tasted by melvinyeowq on 12/14/2022 & rated 92 points: Long day of wines: My contribution. Said 2015 on the cork so not actually sure which vintage was this. Blend of two parcels, one from marl soils and the other from limestone. Aged in concrete eggs before blended in tank. Ripe yellow fruit, the acidity has faded as noted by a previous reviewer. Texturally quite round and weighty with a lovely saline finish. Intellectual sort of wine that is not immediately pleasurable, think the others were in two minds about this but I enjoyed this a lot.

 Tasted by winemaker on 11/28/2022 & rated 93 points: Minerally grapefruit. Sort of austere/light in body, but packed with flavor. Love this. Better the second day. (396 views)
 Tasted by Pey2001 on 10/10/2020 & rated 90 points: My first time with gringet. Medium straw colour in the glass. A bit of lemon and chalk on the nose, and maybe apples. In the mouth it had a slight viscosity, rich feeling like a marsanne. Didn't feel there was a great deal of acidity as some reviews have commented, perhaps having faded by this point. On the palate it had a slightly fermented tang, with notes of apple (or yes, pear, as some have noted), lemon curd and a clean, slightly saline finish. A nice wine and definitely a different experience. (1334 views)
 Tasted by rbrater on 9/6/2020 & rated 90 points: Limestone, lime salinity, red pear, jicama, grape leaves (1071 views)
 Tasted by Saxman1984 on 2/8/2020: I very much enjoyed this wine. A very mineral wine with a distinct quinine note on the palate. Nice acidity and a lingering finish. Don’t drink too cold, the flavors and aromas are more developed as the wine warms up. (1439 views)
 Tasted by Jimywags on 12/3/2019 & rated 91 points: Drank over two days. Initially, pretty tight but eventually gave way to some pleasurable flavors and swallows. Like Isaac mentions, a little plump but quickly leads to a nice mineral cut. Stone fruit, apple, chalk, rocks. The most intellectual wine from Savoie I've had. Enjoyed it. 91pts. (1518 views)
 Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 4/25/2019 & rated 93 points: Alpine wines (Dino's Grotto - Washington, DC): Dense nose – there is a lot in here – but it breathes and show lemon curd, honey, sea salt. Killer depth on the palate, there’s this plump texture but the acidity and minerality are laser-liked, focused, and pristine. Pretty apples and lemons mixed with minerals, smashed rocks, chalk dust and salted almond. Deep, pretty, this really started to sing after a few hours open. My wine of the night. (2052 views)
 Tasted by tobyc on 12/14/2018 & rated 91 points: Slightly murky, med to deep yellow/golden. A bit unclean med+ intense bouquet. Dry, med-med+ acid med alcohol, body and intensity. Creamy and woody texture. The acidity keeps it going. Very good. Would like to taste it w. age.

My notes: flowers, pineapples, peaches, sea water, cardamom, yellow stonefruits, burned lemon, grapefruit, green apples and creme fraice. (484 views)
