Medium yellow. Interesting aromatic mix of bell pepper and something tropical (pineapple?). Medium+ weight with pretty luxurious feel. Rich entry but dry, and lower acidity is camouflaged by strong soil on the finish. Good.

Disgorged February, 2023. 100% Cramant fruit, 2 grams. Yellow, tight bead. Faint honey and hay. Medium bodied. Although the attack is deceptively sweet, the mid-palate and finish are dry. More herbal than fruit flavors. Good acidity, fine moderately long, earthy finish, but the problem here is lack of intensity and impact.

Disgorged May, 2023, zero dosage. Light yellow, fine mousse. Subtle herb and fruit scents. Medium weight, lovely feel. Natural ripeness which belies no added sugar. Saline with good lemony acidity and less stone than the Longitude. Very good.

6/1/2020 4:51:00 PM - On day two at 60 degrees F storage, this wine ( Folliard '14 Cote du Puy) did come out, displaying copious fruit. Should have rated it higher!
5/31/2020 1:00:00 PM - Valid criticism. I must admit to liking Bojo ripe,. and yes I do like the '15 vintage. Have not tried a more recent vintage. Interestingly, my criticism of most California wines is that they are too ripe for my taste when compared to old world examples. Seems inconsistent with my preferences in Beaujolais. Thanks!

Do you know of where i can acquire any? My search has produced zero results over the last 4 months. Thank you for your time.

10/14/2013 6:19:00 AM - Hello drwine2001, Your profile pictures looks like a stairway to Bourgogne heaven. I certainly hope my path to the next life is so spectacularly adorned. Cheers!
9/12/2013 9:58:00 AM - Regarding the '10 Tournelle Trousseau, I salute you for having a feel for the Troussaeu showing more body than the Ploussard, something I read in your note after posting mine. I try to not look at other notes until I've published. Cheers.
