Les Bressandes Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2018

Ron R
9.1

Quintessential Beaune. Quite young, but already showing some soft edges. Cherry notes combine with cinnamon and a hint of nutmeg. This is not for the long haul, but is presenting well right now. Finishes dry, so in my mind, this requires food - Nougatine at Jean Georges. — 5 years ago

There is something about Chenin with some bottle age. Confected fruits, funky and nutty, oxidative edges all held together by ample acidity. — 9 years ago

Fyi, Delectable is reading it incorrectly. It's the Les Carrons, no La Croix. Thanks again for bringing it. What a wine!

Fronsac Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

The 2015 BDX continue to amaze and this Fronsac fits the bill. No decanting necessary. Jumping out of the bottle with beautiful red fruit and cassis notes, silky, and nicely balanced and integrated tannins, at such a young age, I am amazed. Feels like drinking a Grand Cru from a slightly lesser vintage. Great value too. If I can find it, I’ll buy a case. Hopefully two. — 6 years ago

Morgon Gamay

Medium ruby color and a pronounced nose of raspberry, violet and a spice note reminiscent of sandalwood incense. Lovely medium body with silky texture. Good acid balance for food pairing and a long lovely finish. Wonderful evocation of serious Beaujolais — 9 years ago

M. Chapoutier

Croix de Bois Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2005

A big and structured wine. Aromas of cherries, roasted coffee and fresh herbs. Broad-shouldered and chewy, with good mid-palate depth and firm tannins - plenty of length and grip on the finish. The wine seems nicely balanced, and should age very well. — 11 years ago

Croix-Violette Côte de Nuits-Villages Pinot Noir

Saint-Joseph Syrah

Another great wine from the master of Saint-Joseph with soaring aromatics that seem to leap from the glass showing lots of palate staining dark inky fruits along with notes of graphite, black olive, licorice, mineral, mocha & violet. — 5 years ago
