2014 vintage

From magnum. Cooler and with more cut compared to the 2015. Outstanding Pouilly Fume - so pure and focused fruit, a piercing, chalky minerality. More please.

2014 vintage

Has really put on weight now showing a nice viscosity. Quite ripe green fruits and some green leaf, but the mineral and chemical elements have beautiful integration making it quite moreish. Perhaps not as fresh, but certainly more depth. Probably time to drink up though.

2013 vintage

This is punchier and in a more reductive state than the 2013. Really grassy nose with nettles and gooseberries aplenty, but some brighter rounder fruit lurking in the background. Very fresh and racy, though in a very young teenage stage of awkwardness. Leave a year and revisit.

2014 vintage

This has put on a bit of fat and really packs a punch. Kiwi and greengage nose, with background chalk and smoky minerals. There is elegance and concentration here, but the intensity sits at the front palate with freshness and cleansing acidity coming at the finish. Really starting to match with a variety of foods. Yum.

2013 vintage

Tropical fruit, nettle, black currant and lime. Fair amount of oak. Lacking somewhat in freshness for the denomination in my opinion, and is a bit too overwhelming on the fruit. Decent.

2014 vintage

This bottle was a bit more restrained, but still had some of the punchy citrus and green leaf qualities. Ooodles of textured minerality and a very racy acidity that shoots through your mouth like steel. Cut through a smoked mackerel pate beautifully.

2013 vintage

dusty and limey needs more research...weightless texture that penetrates ... opened after 4 hrs or so...

2013 vintage

Really distinct granitic, but chalky even dusty nose. Tart grapefruit on the tip of the tongue giving way to wonderfully elegant lime glycerin mouthfeel. Finish is gradual, like melting snow.

2013 vintage

Super clean nose with tons of stones, elderberries and some other flowers. Quite easy in the mouth with a nice acidity and some fresh fruit. A slight metallic ending bother me a bit, but overall a really good experience.

2014 vintage

Not usually a big fan of SB but in small doses this is quite good. Very green with lots of asparagus, nettles, gooseberries, green grass, a bit of chalk, dried green herbs, citrus and elder flowers. Typical SB nose, but with good depth and a complexity that is often ruined by the intense characteristics of the grape variety. Medium+ (maybe even high) acidity in a medium(-) body, light tartness, medium intensity and a medium+ finish. Slender, fresh, mouth watering acidity. …

2014 vintage

The wine is clear with a medium intensity, lemon color. Youthful nose with a medium(+) intensity. Lots of SB-action on the nose with nettles galore, lime, lemon, asparagus, gooseberry, green grass and stony minerality. Although it has a lot of SB-character it manages to stay balanced and not over the top. The wine is dry on the palate with a high acidity and medium body. Slightly rich and oily mouthfeel that really gives depth to the wine. Medium(+) intensity with …

2014 vintage

Fresh and tasty. Typical SB aromas, but without beeing over the too. Nice!

2014 vintage

Punchy and restrained at the same time. Lime peel, kiwi, honeydew melon rind, gooseberry, chalk, hints of gunflint. Wavers between acidic fruits and sweet fruit aromas, but always an underlying minerality there. Acidity is very refreshing and is a beauty with asparagus.

2013 vintage

Pale straw colored and clear in the glass. Nose was full of lime, lemon, cucumber, green apple, and very faint floral notes. Same on the palate with some fresh-cut grass. Crisp, bright, and lively. Paired wonderfully with seared scallops.

2013 vintage

Nice, fresh with balanced acidity. Citrus, gooseberry and a tiniest hint of grassinesa. A little tropical fruit flavor and a hint of sweetness to counter acidity. This is good because it is is clean and fresh and not because it is all that complex.

2014 vintage

Delightful, fresh, restrained. At first, you really get a whiff of minerals, followed by lime peel and sort of kiwi/cucumber smoothie effect. Faint tropical and green fruits with a racy mineral edge continue on the palate. That interplay between complexity, freshness, restraint, and flavour makes this interesting and exciting, particularly for the price. I'll be buying a case for drinking over the next year.

2013 vintage

Almost riesling-like, steely minerality. Dense extract and precise cut. Impressive stuff. Extremely enjoyable.

2013 vintage

No detailed notes. Aromatic and full bodied. Dry, tropical, and flinty. Good price performer that is drinking well currently.

2013 vintage

Pale lime green color. Very youthful and quite primary nose with aromas of ripe white fruits, aromatic vegetal tones, a little bit of cut grass and a hint of flinty smoke. The wine is crisp, medium-bodied and youthful with fresh and rather intense flavors of ripe citrus fruits, some golden apples, a little bit of grassy greenness, a hint of green apples and a touch of passion fruit. Quite racy and acid-driven style with high acidity. The finish is pretty …

2013 vintage

E&R's 1st Annual Salon des Vins de La Loire-egon et La Dive Bouteille (E&R Wine Shop, Portland OR) : Fairly vibrant and fresh aromas of sweet, tropical fruit and some minerals. Lovely viscosity in the mouth with a pleasing soft, sweet fruit flavors and mellow acid and mild minerality. Minerals dial up on the tart finish.

2013 vintage

Consistent with previous note.

2006 vintage

Less acidity than most P-F's, but a little more fruit, and less mineral notes than I expect. Still a nice wine that works well with food (had with stuffed tilapia) and as a sipper. Light to medium body with a medium finish. I got this for $14 and it is a good wine at that price.

2006 vintage

Nice pale lemon colour but first sniff is strange, there's some "funkiness" (for want of a better word). The more I think about it the more I'm coming up with cabbage water! It's definitely not cat-pee (or as the French say, Pipi du Chat) although there is something pungent and animal lurking in the depths. In the mouth it's crisp, dry and refreshing - quite light and with a bitterness from start to finish. Although these dry wines are not …

2006 vintage

Nice and crisp. Tasted at Beekman.
