2019 vintage. Pinot Noir from Burgundy, Grand Vins de Bourgogne. This is an appellation wine from a thin, sloped strip of land called the Cote de D’or then you travel to a hillside in the Joseph Drouhin vineyard for Gevrey-Chambertin. This is a delicious wine. It’s designated as an intro wine from the region — appellation. The pinot noir vineyards in Burgundy trace back to medieval times. Button mushroom and spice on the nose. A light, Balanced, silky, long finish, cherry, Pomegranate, a bit of potting soil moderate acidity that is balanced with low tannins. Get a case. If this is classified as an appellation wine from producer Joseph Drouhin, I can’t wait to try a Villages and Crus. — 9 days ago

Fleurie 2014 Château des Moriers, Miss Vicky Wine. Good Beaujolais Crus tend to age very well, and this is no exception. I tasted the 2013 and 2014 alongside, and while they both are very good, I prefer the more mineral Pinot Noir-like 2014. Exceptional value too. — a year ago

A really nice midweight Merlot (and Cab). Plums outweigh the blackcurrant but both are there; there’s a hint of underbrush and subtle (very subtle) funk and pyrazine. This is definitely old world, but not as extracted and woody as most cru bordeaux. A really nice bottle. I wouldn’t keep this for decades, but it can definitely soften a little. Reminded me a bit of Lynch Bages from a middle of the road vintage. — 6 years ago

Another Servin 2017 tour-de-force, but more detailed and riveting than the lesser crus and villages-level offerings. Meyer lemon, Maldon salt, sea foam and the apple-blossom essence of Vaillons are wrapped into a seamless package of richness, length and persistence that suggest Champenois vins clairs needing only a second fermentation to transform and tame them into something even more regal and refined. 1er Cru Chablis cannot be any better than this. — 5 years ago
