Cuvée Les Belles Voyes Avize Grand Cru Brut Blanc de Blancs

Wow, so much character and personality in this single vineyard. If I recall correctly there is some oak aging on this. So much depth and flavor: mineral of course but some handsome age quality and balance of sweetness and acidity. Very special. — 6 years ago

Blanc de Blancs Avize Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

One of my Fav’s! Look for these 2 words on a Champagne Label-Récoltant Manipulant, Grower makes & markets Champagne under their own label, from grapes exclusively sourced from their own vineyards and processed on premises. Fruit/floral bouquet, w/chalky minerals. Fine bubbles, nice mousse, showing quality. Outstanding rich flavors of peach, lemon and honey, well balanced, good structure, creamy. Finish with toasty oak & mineral notes that lingered. Very consistent quality. — 7 years ago

Domaine Xavier Besson

Les Grands Prétans Givry 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2012

A pinot noir with structure and depth. Nice spice and hint of tobacco. Dark fruits on the palate, medium to high acidity and slightly bitter undertone. Mineral and clean finish. For a price under 40, this 1er is of great value — 9 years ago

Franck Balthazar

Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2016

Surprisingly light, turbid ruby with garnet rim. Fresh aroma of carbonic, sour cherry, violet, green olive; slight reductive funk. Slight spritz, light body (13%), thin in mid palate with high acidity, moderately high chunky tannin, prob skin and stem, and refreshing bitterness. Very pretty. Day 2 - spritz gone, acidity medium — 7 years ago

Sancerre Rouge Pinot Noir

Delicious light red that’s perfect chilled. Packed with flavor yet really light and wonderful. Had for the first time in Paris and just found at a local wine retailer for $16. One of my new go-to reds. My wife, who rarely likes red wine also enjoys this. — 7 years ago
