Château Relais De La Poste

Meyer-Näkel

Blauschiefer Ahr Spätburgunder 2012

I'm going high on this one. Up front is a lot of big fruit with all kinds of cherry, red, black, and dried. But it's complex, with apple, strawberry and much else mixed in. Acidity is high, but just right to balance the fruit. There is moderate stony minerality and herbal notes here and there. Tannins are very restrained and this is a light and approachable wine. It gets more complex as it airs. I think it would be very good with charcuterie and sausages. I had it with a shrimp and sausage etouffe. It has enough fruit to stand up to strong flavors and enough acidity to cut through rich food. This comes from a very northern planting of Pinot, and it's an unusual and interesting wine. Shout out to the folks at Wine Poste in the Bishop Arts District for stocking this and putting it in a tasting. — 9 years ago

A real paradox, loaded with toast, focussed like a laser. Geoffroy said it was a vintage of dehydration with concentrated sugar & acid. At The Relais & Chateau vertical of Dom Perignon with chef de cave Richard Geoffroy. — 10 years ago

Château Le Bourdieu Vertheuil

Cru Bourgeois Haut-Médoc 2009

Light bodied and fresh, obviously young but has mature sensibility already. Solid acidity and subtle berries over top. I think the dull tartness will dissipate with some more aging. This is one of two options at the Relais De Entrecote in Paris (the other is 'house'). — 10 years ago

9.1

At The Relais & Chateau vertical of Dom Perignon with chef de cave Richard Geoffroy this was the first wine. The drive of the 2004 vintage makes this a refreshing drink with more than just toast. — 10 years ago

Château de Saurs

Gaillac White Blend 2013

Crisp Rose to go with our steak dinner in Paris @ Le Relais de L'Entrecote. Great simple wine which won't over power any meal. Very enjoyable. — 11 years ago

Domaine Tollot-Beaut

Les Fournières Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2011

Own this? Hide it for 10 years. There is so much going on in the nose - leather, camphor, winter baking spiced and lots and lots of pepper - to name a few. Nose blows you away but it was too busy in mouth
Perhaps a long decant would have helped
Indeed - after 24 + hours open but corked, the elements had melded well
Bought at Derniere Goutte in 6e, enjoyed at Relais Christine. Good shop for organic and biodynamic wines - across from great caramel maker

One of chef de cave Geoffroy's favorite vintages, but not mine. The heat of the year and lack of Chardonnay makes for a flatter than expected Champagne. At The Relais & Chateau vertical of Dom Perignon with chef de cave Richard Geoffroy. — 10 years ago
