4/28/2024 - jviz wrote: 93 pointsThis was really clean and pure on night one and didn't hold up quite as well on day 2. Waxy and honeyed, with a natural edge, it feels pure and naked, although not quite as compelling as the other bottlings in the range. I'm the staunchest fan of Bernaudeau there is, but this cuvee was less exciting to me than his others. |

4/28/2024 - NateR Likes this wine: 88 pointsCranberries and a little sulphur on the nose. Given how light it is in body, it has a somewhat surprising amount of acidity and astringency in its structural profile. Overall a pleasant light wine for when you want one that's not too soft on the palate. |

4/28/2024 - Putnam Weekley Likes this wine: 91 points6/12. The bottle I drank last September, 5 of 12, was awkwardly arranged. This one is situated more advantageously. (The first warm day of the year falls on a Sunday.) Furthermore, it's such a flavor-translucent, gossamer creature, that the subtle and normal processes of age can seem quite large within it. So, during all of 2023 its acidity was withdrawn, emphasizing a certain washed out, bitter/blue/herbal character (cucumber, juniper leaf.) Now, the acidity is back and setting new records, marginalizing elements that led the flavors only a year ago. That's an improvement, as long as savage acidity is in demand. The character of this acidity is something new as well—intensely saline, flavored of roots desperately clutching rocky till. It's a much heavier, more glycerin sensation than the shrill, strobotic tartness that once lofted above the action in 2022. Along the way I taste in it: watermelon rind; peach skin; hibiscus; chamomile; beach towel; and rose hip. |

4/27/2024 - Tobinski Likes this wine: NRThe nose is like smelling a field full of wild flowers. The palate is like drinking fresh squeezed peach and tropical fruit juice but without the sweetness. Never had a wine like it, and easily the best orange wine I have drunk. I think if one goes in with an open mind it's really hard not to admire. Strikes me as a natural wine not in a funky sense but rather in the sense that it takes ones mind to nature. |

4/27/2024 - glou.sf Likes this wine: 95 pointsGreat nose with lots of citrus notes, lemon, lime, minerals, green apple, and a hint of white flowers. High acidity with more citrus notes, chalk, tart orchard fruit, and lime on the palate. Long finish. Really beautiful wine! My first time trying this vineyard and it feels like a little more acidic and brighter than the Nourrissons, with maybe a bit less intensity and minerality. Would love to taste them side by side at some point… |

More melon, lemon zest, and apple on the palate with a very slight buttery finish. Perfect amount of fizz to keep things interesting but not steal the show from the delicious easy drinking Pet-Nat! |

2022 Château Le Puy Rose-MarieVin de France Merlot more |
4/26/2024 - shemmy wrote: NRChateau Le Puy has been cared for by the Amoreau family since 1610. The estate is on the same plateau as Saint-Émilion and Pomerol, at the second highest point in the Gironde. No synthetic treatments have ever been used on the estate, an incredibly rare condition for Bordeaux, a wine region that embraced industrialization somewhat overzealously. Harvest is manual with the grapes being entirely destemmed before a long cuvaison. The fermentations take place only with indigenous yeasts and no sulphur added. Even as most other Bordeaux houses were chasing the heavily oaked, extremely ripe style that was garnering rave reviews, Le Puy held true to a more transparent and terroir-revealing wine which is coming into fashion once again. The vineyards are planted with blackcurrant and shrubs among the vine rows. This agri-forestry increases biodiversity and encourages pollinators to swarm the flowers in the spring. The vineyard scores the soil by horse, eschewing a full plow to maintain the mycorrhizal fungal network. The winery is Demeter certified. These are some of the most exciting and lively wines coming out of Bordeaux today (and for the last four centuries)! |

4/26/2024 - Xavier Auerbach wrote: 91 pointsFrom vineyards in Lancié, 2 miles south-east of Fleurie, sandy soils, 100% destemmed, vinified in tank, aged for 12 months in used cask and amphorae, 12.5% ABV, bottled unfiltered in August 2022, with 2200 bottles produced. Pale cherry red colour; fruit-driven nose (sweet raspberries, strawberries, cherries), whiff of candy, hints of earth and warm spices, flowers, stony freshness; elegantly juicy and supple palate, silky texture, mild tannins, just a prickle of carbon dioxide, good flavour intensity in what is essentially a light wine; the complete finish starts out juicy and then becomes drier. More approachable than last year. |

4/26/2024 - Henman Likes this wine: 90 pointsFirst impression on tasting this was some kind of cider. Medium to full bodied, off-dry to sweetish, showing some dried apricot, a bit raisins and some honey sweetness with low carbonation and gentle hop bitterness. Delicious stuff. |

4/25/2024 - Putnam Weekley Likes this wine: 91 points5/12. In light of my last note I carefully aerated the bottle into a decanter. It made a difference—it drinks beautifully and immediately (with scratch einkorn patty melt, sub baby farm leeks.) This tastes best right at 59° F, aka 15* C. |

4/25/2024 - Xavier Auerbach wrote: 94 pointsDrinks with Steen Öhman (Wine Bar La Cuverie de Vosne-Romanée, Vosne-Romanée, France): Bottle No. 043 / 137. Not decanted. Rich and concentrated but transparent and precise, griotte and rose, hugely energetic chalky minerality, deep yet lifted, perfect weight (13% ABV), wonderful acidity, quite structured and in that sense almost Bordeaux-like, firm but finely grained tannins, slighty sweet oak, very long and layered finish. Very impressive if somewhat unusual in style. |
