Domaine des Comtes Lafon

Meursault-Perrières 1er Cru Chardonnay 2014

gorgeous soft lemon oil and chalkiness. Quite intense and with a real minerality and white pepper. Very pretty fruit but quite angular and will develop a long way from here. — 8 months ago

Le Monsard Mâcon-Bussières Chardonnay 2020

Comte Lafon Macon Chardonnays are great wines at excellent prices. Tart green apple, hint of lemon zest, wet rock. Med + acidity. Crisp, acidic and shows just how good chardonnay can be. — 9 months ago

Domaine des Comtes Lafon

Volnay-Champans 1er Cru Pinot Noir 1990

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. — 8 years ago

Clos des Quarts Monopole Pouilly-Fuissé Chardonnay 2012

Give this one a little time. But it may be THE (or one of certainly) benchmark wines for the appellation. — 9 years ago

Domaine Raymond Usseglio & Fils

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 1998

Wow. Enough said. Lots of life yet but I don't think it will get better. Tied for wine of the year. Perfect match with ribs. — 11 years ago

Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon

Clos de la Crochette Mâcon Village Chardonnay 2021

Always a classic. Still a (relative) value. Balance, structure, texture, tension, integration and length. Just great winemaking. Benchmark Chard. — 8 months ago

I had a fruity to oak/earthy experience. Fruit up front Oak to Earth on the finish.
$10.+ at Costco.
Went well with my steak-filled salad...as well as with my chocolate-covered walnuts afterwards.

R Collection 2014

Really good and great value! Purchased from the cellar sale! It's a full fruit flavor without much acidity. Not a steak wine! Maybe more of a pasta wine. — 8 years ago

Désirée Meursault Chardonnay 2014

Grand Finale bottle with Madi in NYC. Had high hopes for throttle given the vintage but didn’t really have the fruit for it to hold up. Searing acid and nuclear reduction which I love but just savory notes. — 8 months ago
