Henri Chauvet, Vie Ordinaire 2023 Riesling EASILY in my top three

EASILY in my top three wines I drank last year

where it's kept company by the sounds of singing bowls and a crystal harp

balanced acidity and tannin that just lightly graces your inner cheeks

He knows what he's doing Nebb-wise

The fruit here is from the Les Pargues vineyard in the valley between the 1er Cru Montmains hill and 1er Cru Vaillons

Henri Chauvet, Vie Ordinaire 2023 Riesling EASILY in my top threePlace: Auvergne, France Grape: Pinot Noir Vibe: WOW Whole bunch Pinot that spends a little time in barrels, both big and small. Signature spice and a pleasing vegetal note from the stems really come through here. The light, satin smooth tannin hints that this will have a long life, and whilst drinking like a dream now this will be simply breathtaking with a few extra years in the bottle. ABV: 12%
