Very nice 1er cru. Not a blow out but really well put together. — 4 years ago
Vintage 2004 - it’s quite comforting and energizing to drink a good bottle from my cellar after a hard day’s work. This special cuvee from old merlot vines exceeds my expectations: very rich and complex smell with tobacco, vanilla, morello cherries and a taste of minerals, beautiful ripened. What a great effort of grower Denis Lafon this is, it makes me só happy. #bordeaux #merlot #cotedeblaye #petitbordeaux Partnered it with a deer hamburger. — 7 years ago

Amazing white burgundy. Pure fruit with a touch if funk. Great acidity and length. Yum! — 11 years ago
Great medium bodied red. Soft mouthfeel. Not as dry as the cans and malbecs I usually get. — 4 years ago
Good Friday also means white burgundy x 2. 2nd bottle of the night and this Meursault compared really well to Lafon. More richness and depth to this and a touch of sweetness really finished the meal off right. Excited for the other Germain’s I just got — 4 years ago
Superb Sauternes. Good length and rich. — 6 years ago
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. — 7 years ago
Reddish black cherry color. Slightly translucent. Doesn't show its age in the glass. Nose of warm fruit with kirsch, with some secondary dirt and spice notes. In the mouth there wonderful rich coating of ripe black cherry, some wood, and still active tannin. Well balanced. Lasting finish. Great showing. Still on the upswing of its potential. — 9 years ago
