Community Tasting Note

Billigan Likes this wine:

Saturday, May 25, 2019 - I've always loved this wine as kind of a guilty pleasure; its opulent, heady qualities contrast sharply with my usual preference for low-alcohol, precise, mineral-driven whites, but I appreciate the change of pace this wine offers me, and it's always been more of an thought-provoking beverage than what I think it's reputation is (i.e. a slightly Euro-fied version of an Aubert Chard). Anyhow, I thought this was the best bottle I've ever had of this wine across any vintage. Just a gorgeous nose full of lanolin, peach, wax, and honeysuckle that shows something new with every spin. Rich and full-bodied on the palate, but the oak and alcohol were very much in check, with no shortage of freshness and plenty of acidity to keep you coming back. Rhone whites rarely get better than this.
