Domaine Bruno Clair

Les Champs Perdrix Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2010

A solid proof why you should age your Bourgogne wines. A “simple” Village Lieu-dit (above La Tâch) is finding itself in a wonderful stage in life near 10 years past harvest. Just let it dust off its shoulder and catch your attention as it opens up with a toffee like red fruit character, dried roses, sous bois, truffle, spice and rocks before slowly walking out with a graceful posture. — 6 years ago

Domaine des Comtes Lafon

Meursault-Genevrières 1er Cru Chardonnay 2012

When Lafon is on they’re as good as any name in white Burgundy. 2012 Genevrieres is superb after sufficient air, seamlessly balanced between richness and elegance and perfectly developed wafting waves of defined fruit, pastry cream, butterscotch and toasted almonds within its layered minerality. It wraps around the palate with killer concentration and density and a massively long, silky finish. Top tier Chardonnay. — 9 months ago

Super soft for some reason. Lots of vanilla almost like it was really Napa Valley Oaked up which seems unlikely given large boti? — 9 years ago

Falletto di Serralunga D'Alba Barolo Nebbiolo 2014

Way too much new oak and feels overextracted. Can’t get past the oak on the nose and hides the fruit on the palate at this point. — 8 years ago

Viré-Clessé Chardonnay 2014

Wanted to drink this after listening to Dominique’s IDTT interview. Found the best nationally priced bottle in Pasadena and it showed really nicely, particularly after being open for something like 4 hours. I like his winemaking approach here, which doesn’t seem to be about elevating it beyond its provenance. It’s a delicious, mineral wine that would crush with shellfish and was lovely in the afternoon along with The Trip to Spain. — 8 years ago
