Brézé Clos de La Rue Saumur Chenin 2015

Absolutely ripping acid. Intense wine, Plenty of stuffing. Well cellared. Fruit is evolved but no risk of going anywhere, with acid like this it’ll probably live forever. — 3 months ago

Arnaud Mortet

Ma Cuvée Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2018

2022-3 winter. The previous bottle of this I had felt like the most overripe and in-Burgundy-like 2018 I’d tried, and by some margin. I figured some time might help, but have a growing suspicion that my cellar is too cold to really mature wines without multiple decades of wait. So…experiment time. I stored this for a couple of years in the basement but outside the cellar. It’s not a textbook environment, at least for the summer months. Lo and behold, this had loosened up a fair bit, with more expressiveness on the nose too. It was still riper and heavier than it needed to be but was good. Would it have been better with 30 years at 14 degrees? Perhaps, but it’s a near-academic question for me given the prices of burgundy these days. — 3 years ago

Arnaud Combier

Fleurie Gamay 2022

Second bottle of this in the past year. It’s deep, complex, and drinking really well now. A little note of barnyard adds a dimensional to the deep ripe fruit and deep granite on the nose. It’s dry and very deep on the palate. Deep savory and mineral notes are prominent, nicely augmenting the dark fruit. Nice but soft acids. A teensy little bit drying on the finish, so this is definitely designed for the table, where it will shine with stews and braises and pasta and . . . — 3 months ago

Arnaud Briday

Domaine des Chers Vieilles Vignes Julienas Gamay 2020

Solid Cru Beaujolais. Medium garnet color. Bright aromas of ripe red and black cherries, earth and violets. Expressive flavors of red and black cherry/raspberry/currant fruit, tobacco and a pleasant hint of baking spices. A bit of black pepper and the presence of stemmy carbonic maceration on the very long and tingly finish. Quite juicy and crisp. Fruit forward, nicely structured and pretty well balanced. — 7 months ago
