Les Champs d'Argent Bourgogne Aligoté 2018

Well, I pulled this out of my cellar as I had not had an Aligote in awhile. Quite a surprise and nice wine. A bit shocked by the current prices. I have had this bottle at least 4 years and certainly didn’t pay over $100, so the wine shop must have mispriced the bottle. My lucky day! It has a nice lemon hue with aromas of floral, butter, lemon, and apple. It has a mineral and saline quality with a nutty profile. Nice medium body, slightly creamy, and a long finish. Wishing I had a case in inventory, but it was my only bottle! — 2 days ago

Clos de Lunès

Lune d'Argent White Bordeaux Blend 2022

Blend of 70% Semillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc, pale lemon with delicate aromas of citrus, stone fruits and floral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, pear and lime citrus with notes of floral spice. Medium+ finish, rich, vivid acidity and ends with mineral spice. Nice! — 5 months ago

Les Champs d'Argent Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2014

2014 vintage. 9.3 rating on a red Bourgogne...okay? Attractively hot and fleshy initially before the concentrated power onslaught. Medium-heavy body (!?!?) with some slightly above-average terroir/pedigree as I understand it. Might barely qualify (with prejudice) as someone's "Reserve" offering somewhere. Should you come across in a resto or retail setting, take the plunge because you're unlikely to ever see it again. Haven't said that about a Bourgogne in a few days...Rating:9.3/93/A — 8 months ago

Domaine de Montcy

Cour-Cheverny 2008

Amazing white wine made from Romorantin grapes which visually looks like it’s 3-5 years old, at most, this grape variety is related to Chardonnay, but WAY drier, the entire appellation is 120 acres/48 hectares in the Loire valley, really a super unique wine that apparently will age almost forever, mineral, loads of acidity, needs food (which I don’t have in front of me — waaah!!), longish finish!! As an aside, there is a great Loire chateau to visit in this area, called Chateau de Cheverny, which is still lived in/occupied, but is well worth a visit!! Really amazing wine!! — 2 months ago

I have some Cazin C-C (2002) in hiding, last time I had a bottle we were amazed at the longevity, I immediately bought whatever I could get for the current vintage at the time (2018) to continue the ongoing experiment for many years into the future... You are not crazy.
