Clos de la Briderie 2005 Vieilles Vignes Chenin Blanc-Chardonnay (Touraine Mesland)

  • Editors' Choice
  • Online Exclusive
The honey aromas from the dominant Chenin Blanc are enticing. The palate is fresh and soft, but rounded with melon and kiwi flavors. Delicious and full. Clos de la Briderie runs its vineyard biodynamically.  — R.V.  (10/1/2007)

A blend of Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Gamay, this is a firmly dry, tannic wine. Its acidity, black plum skin flavors and smoky, herbal undernote give attractive complexity. A great food wine.  — R.V.  (10/1/2007)

Clos de la Briderie 2005 Gris Gamay (Touraine Mesland)

  • Online Exclusive
“Gris” in this case means a pale rosé; this Gamay-based wine has a very fresh, if light, structure. Flavors of wild strawberries are here, but it is mainly dry and crisp.  — R.V.  (10/1/2007)

A ripe, fruity wine that shows its Malbec and Gamay juiciness in the immediately approachable jam and black fruit salad character, layered with acidity. The flavors are of bright red berries.  — R.V.  (2/1/2009)
