Un beau chambolle. Bouche soyeuse assez claire. Un nez de fruits rouges invitant avec une acidité présente qui integre tout. En finesse, ca pinotte bien. Tres charmeur. — 5 years ago

Brut De Noirs Sparkling Blend 2002

Holy almonds, Batman! I do not have much experience with the CA sparklings, but this one did not miss. Apple, melon, toast, and, of course, the aforementioned almonds. Great crispness and beautiful color. Glad I bought 2. — 8 years ago

Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2003

Not quite as good as the bottle two nights ago but still a beautiful mouthful of juice. Again, a great vintage for moving someone from CA Pinot to Burgundy. — 9 years ago

Domaine Maume

Aux Etelois Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2009

This wine was closed when we opened it but the next day it turned out to be a gem. Keep for another 3 years. Great balance between acid and fruit. Tannins resolved over night and now the wine has dark berry notes and a hint of bitterness and dirt! The ripeness of the 2009 vintage shines through but is well managed. Beats any California Pinot at the price level ca. 50$ when I bought it. This is how Burgundy should taste! Low 13.3%. For a Gevrey at the village level stellar! — 9 years ago
