They remain very good. But like all sweet wine producers in the Loire, now focusing more on dry wines.
Enjoying this - Calon-Ségur 2000. Still youthful at 25 years. Must keep my hands off my other bottles for a few years! #calonsegur #chateaucalonsegur #stestephe #bordeaux #wine
What a great week for wine this has been, with three great bottles so far. Clos Rougeard Le Bourg 05 and Couly-Dutheil Clos De l’Echo 05 were both tip-top, as is tonight’s Muscadet, the 2015 Briords from Pépière. #muscadet #pepiere #domainedelapepiere #muscadetsevreetmaine #melondebourgogne #wine
Hard to explain. Could be an error, it happens despite trying hard to jot down alcohol data accurately. I have a photo of info sheet from the tasting but no alcohol data on it. And a photo of the bottles, but % not visible. If it’s a real difference impossible to explain without asking Julien.

Back from the Loire - time to dive back into the Scottish cellar. Can’t see anything better than 2005 Le Bourg from Clos Rougeard in the ‘drink now’ rack. Popped it in my new Brane-Cantenac decanter - I hope Henri Lurton won’t mind. #closrougeard #saumur #saumurchampigny #cabernetfranc #wine #loire
Enjoyed this - a good example of Cour-Cheverny in a warm vintage, from one of the appellation’s leading domaines. #courcheverny #romorantin #domainetessier #tessier #wine #loire
Called in on Matthieu Baudry to buy a few bottles. Ended up tasting all the 2024s, from vat, barrel and bottle. Plus a few older vintages, back to 2012. As you do. 😃 #matthieubaudry #bernardbaudry #chinon #cabernetfranc #wine
Great to finally get my hands on a few bottles of this; Triple Zéro Millésimé, 2014 vintage, disgorged in 2024. Absolutely delicious, with modest evolution and great freshness. Looking forward to the next bottle! #tailleauxloups #latailleauxloups #montlouissurloire #triplezero #cheninblanc #wine
