So obviously I'm a fan. I love the Rene Geoffroy wines because they combine straight up deliciousness with grace and complexity. I am getting thirsty.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04886389268809188889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-78612323041166347262010-07-19T14:05:40.349-04:002010-07-19T14:05:40.349-04:00Nice note on a wonderful producer.

Regarding the lemon component you mention, I find a similar quality in Geoffroy's most recent bottling of the Expression as well, a sort of big-boned biscuity quality that I'm used to associating with Chardonnay-dominant Champagnes. The plushness and depth of fruit's there too, so it's not like the Pinots are obscured, but there's certainly a dual personality that belies the proportions of the blend.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07120090489401623043noreply@blogger.com
