Michel Fallon was once the cellar master at Jacques Selosse. He started making wines since 2000 in Selosse's cellar and makes approximately 800-900 bottles a year. This was quite like Bereche or Savart on the nose with crisp green apples and citrus. This eventually gave way to some oxidative notes but certainly not to the extent of Krug or Selosse. Saline, minerally, and chalky on the palate. The bubbles did not last for the entirety of the meal and apparently this suggests that the wine is a grower and not a house. I have yet to figure out why. The biggest clue was the finish. While the nose was alluring, the finish was rather short after a hour into dinner. Surprised to learn that was was a Blanc de Blanc as it displayed a few Pinot characteristics. Lovely wine but I'll stick to my Savart's. — 7 years ago

So this guy Möbitz is essential a freak. He works at Novartis a PHARMA COMPANY and makes wine on the side. 500 / 800 bottles of Kanzel and Knöpfle. And what can say - His wines are Awesome💕. I want to thank Lyle Fass to bring these to the US and I think together with Enderle and Moll (which are more herbaceous) these have to be the best Pinots on the Planet forget DRC.
Minty nose. Relative dark color. Then a ridiculous potpourri of flavors. Blackberry ok that is trivial but what else- cherry trival too - thyme, Boysenberry, hint of rose - sour apple gummibears - VERY long. — 9 years ago

Well located situated between Lafleur and Petrus hence the name. A little bit of history - Pomerol was originally planted by the Romans but fell into disrepair and neglect until the 17th and 18th Century. The total area of Pomerol is only 800 hectares. This wine is plummy and very earthy and so enjoyable. My notes said “This is why one loves Pomerol “. — 7 years ago

Nose of; sweet & sour dark cherries, some fruit liqueur and alcohol notes, macerated; blackberries, blackberries, blueberries, black plum, plum & strawberries. Cinnamon, vanilla, sweet, rich, moist, dark earth, very light spice, some black licorice, crushed dry powdery limestone, fresh & dry dark red florals, red roses and violets. The palate is full medium and gorgeously round. The tannins still have some teeth. It’s a good time to have our last 2000 of this wine. Ripe, sweet & sour; black cherries, blackberries, strawberries, black plum, plum, blue fruit notes, touch of prune, & black raspberries. Light cinnamon & vanilla, sweet, rich, moist, dark earth, very light spice, some black licorice, fruit liqueur notes, black tea, crushed dry limestone, soft volcanic minerals with an edge as they set, some bramble, fresh & dry dark red florals, red roses and violets. The acidity is like Niagara. The structure, tension, balance and length is rock solid. The finish is; long, elegant and beautiful. The thing I like about the Domaine Leroy Village wines is that they basically make it very similarly to their wines that cost in excess of $800-$1500 upon release. However, their Village wine is around $50 if you buy it right. The difference in their village wines are the vineyard sites, but once the fruit gets to the Domaine, the grapes are handled in a very similar fashion. All sites separately fermented. Great wine and even better value. Lalou Bize-Leroy (mid right photo) still owns 25% of DRC. Lalou was once also the managing Director of DRC as well. She stepped aside over differences of opinion regarding yields and being completely biodynamic. Lalou prefers very low yields. Domaine Leroy is completely biodynamic. Lalou Bize-Leroy also has her own vine training method and all pruning is done strictly by hand. Additionally, she believes in the benefits of singing to her vines (her babies) daily. Lalou Bize-Leroy is and will forever be a legend in Burgundy as she has been deemed “The Queen of Burgundy!” — 8 years ago

Garnacha at its finest, sourced from vineyards at about 800 meters around Rozas del Puerto Real, and aged in old oak foudres. Fresh and lively with exquisite aromas of strawberries, raspberries, lavender, thyme, licorice, and crushed rock. A light bodied red with sweet red fruits on entry, crunchy refreshing midpalate with some umami notes followed by saline minerality that intermixes with exotic spices. Easy to drink and quite refreshing. — 7 years ago

Nice balance of fruit and minerals on nose with a blast of acids on palate and carries through to finish. Good foods wine though not so much with scallops in a bouillabaisse leftover. Paired well with shrimp. Great deal at $13 back then. Only 800 cases made! — 8 years ago

We did a straight up comparison of this $800 bottle with an $18 bottle of Chandon. The Krug had a more pronounced color, stronger more wine-like complex flavor and longer finish. The Chandon was much more effervesant and charming in its own certain way. — 10 years ago
