  March 25, 2024 - Nez de tuffeau et de fruits rouges (fraise,framboise) mais manquant d'intensité.Bouche trop longiligne à mon goût cela manque de suavité...Un côté monocorde qui me déçoit....Pas vraiment à son affaire mais je n'en saurai pas plus vu que c'était ma dernière...

  August 25, 2022 - Needs an hour of air to open. Bitter cherry fruit with a slight hint of coffee in the background, lots of earthiness, and some herbal notes. Medium-light weight with a texture that’s not quite soft, but close (“pliant”). Clean and precise with decent length. All in all, a very nice expression of Bourgueil.

  September 9, 2021 - Very good+
  
  Purchased a couple of years ago after tasting, noting "Good, a bit drying on the finish, but nice tinges of green on ripe fruit." I no longer found the finish drying, tannins are smooth. Showing dark fruits, bramble, and some minerality along with some stemmy green notes, so this is for fans of the less exuberant / just-ripe Loire style. Really nice with dinner and pleasing on its own. 13% abv

  December 1, 2020 - Really enjoyed this. Crunchy acidity. Nice aromatics with spicy herbal edge and dark purple fruit. Tannins in check and the fruit is nicely concentrated. Has a chalky quality on the finish. Has nice purity and focus. Definitely a producer to seek out further.
