WINE ADVOCATE 91-92 POINTS - "From a single parcel of old vines and vinified in barrique of mixed age, Blot’s 2009 Bourgueil Mi-Pente evokes sweet lily-Read More...
like perfume and talcum along with scents of machine oil; peat and black tea; ripe blackberry and elderberry; and toasted walnut. Refined, almost velour-like in texture, this offers nutty richness and ripe black fruits along with hints of rare sirloin juices in a long, buoyant, downright refreshing finish. Blot suspects this deftly balanced wine will age well for the better part of two decades. Certainly I can imagine at least 8-10 years, although the trade record simply isn’t there other than by analogy with Bourgueil from other sites and growers."

A classic Cabernet Franc for the purist. The 2010 Chinon is an amazing vintage for the Cuvee Domaine from Bernard and Matthieu Baudry, "one of the best Domaines we have made, with Read More...
great balance and richness" says Matthieu. As good as the 2009 was, this wine has cool almost minty acidity lifting the complex and pure red fruits. A blend from St. Louans with mostly clay and limestone soils to give earthy well-structured wines, with 20% from gravel soils near Cravant, giving supple fruit. The weight and balance of this wine are superb, with mineral and acid flavors coating the fruit and the finish is very long. This wine is enjoyable now, but will really benefit from two years of aging - with peak drinking from after five to ten years. 13% abv.

licorice are some of the nuances that flow from this textured, expressive wine. In 2007, Aragone sits on the razor’s edge of over ripeness; coming close, but never going over the top. A refined, polished finish serves to balance some of the more opulent qualities. This racy, sexy wine delivers incredible quality for the money. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020."
La Mozza is a partnership between Joe Batianich and Mario Batali that sits in Morelino di Scansano—one of the warmest corners of the Tuscan Coast. There is a unique bit of history on this part of the Tuscan Coast with a period of Spanish occupation. The darkly colored and rich clone of Grenache known locally as “Alicante” gives this blend a warmer, Rhône-like texture that melds seamlessly with the red raspberry from the Sangiovese.

done Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley! It delivers a precise, yet generous, package of even-keeled, elegant fruit that combines tangy vectors of lemon-lime, lemon zest and tangerine with generous dollops of ripe melon fruit.

It is, without a doubt, the best Menetou-Salon we’ve ever tasted!
