Did very well with a Boeuf Bourguignon. Flavours complemented with each other. Blended tannins made this wine easy to drink and enjoy with cheese as well.

What Champagne should look like. More on the wine. Less on the bubbles.

It was time to drink this 24 year old wine. Went very well with a Boeuf Bourguignon. It has a structure that enabled it to stand to the dish. All in blended aromas. Great experience

A sure value and an excellent wine. Lots of fruits, round, little astringency. Should not keep it too long though

Very disappointed with this 2012 bottle. May be I should have drunk it earlier. behaved like an older wine, an old Chateau Musar for example.
Very opaque in the glass. Lost all its freshness and aromas.

Excellent Cote de Brouilly. All on the fruit, very round, with no astringency and well balanced alcohol. Delicious.

Extremely good wine. Full body, however very round, on the red fruit and without any astringency. Goes well with a good steak. Highly recommended.

Superb Pessac 2009. Well balanced tannins. Level of alcohol still present but not overpowering. A great experience. Highly recommended.

Avoid absolutely this wine. One of the worst wine I ever tried. And it was not flawed or defective. Flat and without any character. The bottle went into the sink!!!

Very good Chinon as usual. Never disappointing. Very refined with tannins being softer but tuffeau always present.

Did not do well with oysters in comparison to a Sauvignon Blanc. But much better with cheese and food.

I was slightly disappointed by this bottle. Did not really give its expected full potential. Need to try another one soon to validate or not this point.

Just good. I'm missing a Whoa!! factor on this 9 year old wine. It is missing crispiness and freshness. Disappointed, although it drinks well. Was expecting much more.

May be it was the blend with semillon, but I did not enjoyed this wine. Lacked crispiness of the sauvignon blanc. Did not go well for me
