Cousin makes nice stuff, I remember I used to buy the Pur Breton and ofcourse Le cousin, Grolleau if I remember correct. Surprised by the oak you mention. Can't recal that in any of the wines I drank from him. But it was years ago...... Ciao Joseph!

A bit pricey, but nice. As pinot noirs, I prefer the roses from the same area. Very light, bit of tannines, but drinks as easily as the whites. The reds Ive had have usually been a bit young. For white, I bought a couple of bottles of Alphonse Mellot. Deeper and more interesting than Vacherons whites and not as mouthstrippingly acidic.

This is Caberent Franc. Wonderful wine, you should be able to find it in Paris for sure, just ask the boys at Verre! The reds from Sancerre are nice! Which producers do you like? I need to plan another visit ;-) Cheers Christopher!

Though I hear you about the Sancerre and how nice the reds are, I have fallen in love with the slightly oxidized chenin blancs from the Loire. And of course a slightly fizzy and light as fart aunis... Is this a pinot de aunis?
