December 25, 2023 - Drinking well. This has fully unwound and shows classic Belluard Gringet Savoie character. Perhaps a little faded in the mid-palate. Not sure this will get any better.
May 27, 2016 - Apple and lemon throughout with crunchy minerality and seemingly a saline finish. I recall enjoying this wine from several vintages when young, and this 2008 has held up very nicely. Great value wine, much better with dinner than on its own.
December 1, 2014 - Not a fav for my dining companions, but I liked it. Although I have no experience with "Alpine wines" I would guess that this one fits that bill. Crisp and minearlly, but not like other wines I have had. A bit more intellectual than hedonic. Fine with me.
November 28, 2014 - One of the most prominent apple scents I've ever experienced in a wine. Green apple on the palate, with a nice dose of acidity and a noteworthy saline/mineral finish. First experience tasting Gringet-based wine, and it was memorable.
April 19, 2014 - A private lunch (Restaurant Marcus **, London, UK): Fragrant, alpine herbs, nice evolution, yellow apples, hint of nuts, spicy complexity; natural sweetness, lovely mineral freshness, supple, slightly rustic, sea breeze, red apple, nice intensity; good length.
February 25, 2014 - Nice light white wine, good with the baked cod and fish and chips we had the last two nights. Some lime, some mineral, some white fruit, overall pleasing to drink.
May 22, 2013 - Wow! Light and delicate. One gets a sense of spring and fresh rain water with flavours of faded apple and tangerine. Held up well over two days. This is a wonderful wine.
October 15, 2012 - Wonderful green apple and dirty lime notes, lively without being overbearing. Very good.
July 10, 2012 - Lovely floral and apple pie aromas. Quite rich on the entry with round, stone fruit notes. Brighter and fresher on the mid palate with a little red fruit to the fore. Long apricot filled, almost creamy finish. Very nice.
August 21, 2011 - True, not close to the '07. But if this were my first Feu I'd be raving about it. Ethereal and transparent, though a bit greener than prior years and the acidity could use another year or two to round out. I love this guy's wines.
