100pt L'Aventure, Best Wt Burgundy, Champagne True Rival

There's still stock of d'Etroyes Mercurey Les Ormeaux which everyone I've tasted has guessed it is $75-$100+ (it's not):

"Floral aromas are wrapped in tropical fruit / on the edge of lemon, lychee + ground up stone / Plucky acidity / balanced by clean,pure sense of terroir."

94 Points - Somm Journal

I know it's trite to say it's a "Champagne Rival" but let's look at the facts:

Jacky Blot = Under-the-Radar Cult Loire Legend
60 to 80+ Year-Old Chenin Blanc Vines
Aged on the Lees for 24 Months
Certified Organic
12.5% ABV
Only 2,500 Cases Made & 200 Imported
Ageable Another 7+ Years
Lowest price in NorCal
My new house bubbly

"Insanely Under Priced" is absolutely correct for Jacky Blot's Triple Zero.

Congrats to Stephan Asseo for not only another pair of 100-point wines, but single-handedly carrying Paso on his back onto the world stage fine wines. 👏

Back-to-Back 100 Points for L'Aventure + Greatest Optimus Vintage to date.

We told you this was a blue chip bargain. We initially sold out, but more of both land next week!
