Community Tasting Note

• bevetroppo Likes this wine: 89 points

  April 26, 2019 - Really delightful with ample yellow orchard, pear and peach fruit on the nose and palate. Held in alignment with deft wood and racy acid on the bone dry finish. Delicious on its own and the entirely believable 12% labeled alcohol makes it easy to pair.
  
  Rateau was an early adopter of biodynamics in Burgundy and here he demonstrates the wines can be as fresh and pretty as the vines themselves.

I was in Paris last week and I have to assume you know all about Le Garde Robe. It's like someone turned CSW into a wine bar two blocks from the Louvre. Best, Tom
