  really liked that one. reminded me a 1er Cru from burgundy, a great chardonnay with lot of velocity and some elevage. The bottom of the bottle was drunk 2 days after and the chenin traditional aromas where there. still a lot of life

  Vinřs hyttetur 2023: Blind. Utviklet, noe røkt, stor kropp, men kanskje ikke så spenstig.

  5th bottle of this since 2020. Two bottles very reductive and tight early on, 1 beautiful and 1 slightly ox. This last one is gorgeous from pnp. Sea breeze, grape fruit, spices, white flowers, underripe yellow apples and just a hint of steely lanolin. Wonderful nose. The mouth is also intense, yet light-med bodied, long and acidic. Lingers. A bottle in perfect balance, drinking in its prime. 94 p.

  In a direct comparison of Clos Rougeard's Brezé and Guiberteau, Guiberteau's wine clearly had the edge. I do not know if the CR was an off bottle or not. It was not a classic cork fault, the wine was too developed, lacked tension and clarity. Some yellow fruit, wax notes - somehow everything like a Burgundy with Premox. The Guiberteau was quite different. The wine shows in the form of a harmonious acidity and a delicate melt that it has now arrived in a good drinking window. Various notes of citrus peel, green pears, lemon balm and chamomile, as well as a nice chalky minerality from the Loire tufa (not to be confused with volcanic tufa) that gives the wine a touch of oyster shell. The wine has a nice medium+ acidity and a good length. It lacks some complexity for a great wine. 92/100 The Brezé of Clos Rougeard was in condition at a maximum of 85 points. Disappointing.

  Classy mid-weight Vouvray. Slightly wooly palate with a long tart lemony finish.
