Au Pied du Mont Chauve

Montagny 1er Cru Chardonnay 2019

Wow. Excellent on the nose. An amazingly soft & delicate dance on the palette that twirls a classic chard with a soft vanilla and buttery background with just the right citrus finish. Need to buy more than one bottle at a time! — a year ago

Domaine Dozon

Clos du Saut au Loup Chinon Cabernet Franc

Young and lean, this presents the classic aromas and flavors you expect. Earth and mineral driven with slightly underripe red and black fruit and veggies. A wine that only works well with a meal. — 4 years ago

So good. Lovely subtle oak spice with big blackberry coulis fruit and spices on the nose. Huge depth on the nose. You could swim in the layers. Palate is so ripe, so rich and so dense with dazzling purity and freshness. Wow. This is just incredible. So fresh yet so opulent and deep. That’s what the best 15’s have to offer. Spectacular. — 7 years ago

Hacienda Lopez de Haro (Bodega Classica)

Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2013

The 2013 Bodega Classica Lopez de Haro Reserva is medium dark in the glass. The nose is aromatic with violets, cigars, ripe plums and earth. On the palate, we find big, dark fruit, oak spice and a meaty black olive note. Tannins are firm and the acidity is lively, so it's great to sip as well as have it with some steak. — 8 years ago
