l'Empreinte du Terroir Corps de Garde Saint-Bris Sauvignon

Yes, Sauvignon Blanc in Burgundy! In fact, the St Bris appellation was previously called 'Sauvignon de Saint-Bris' (before 2003). And you can ONLY use SB or Sauv Gris fruit, + max 12.8% ABV. Love the terroir and plan to show it blind just to mess with my Sancerre obsessed friends. — 11 years ago

Good acid to challenge my elk tartar. Could use a little more body, but very nice for my pallet. — 12 years ago

Great wine with good balance of acidity and Oak. Elegant and medium bodied with slight overtones of vanilla and lemon. Wonderful wine — 11 years ago

Domaine Lafouge (Jean et Gilles Lafouge)

La Chapelle Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2012

This is a silkier, more elegant vintage of the Chapelle, at least relative to the 2010, which was really in my zone, as well as the 2009, which I found over-the-top, but in both cases I think there was more stuffing there than here. This would've shown better if I'd opened it with white meat or even fish or something else where a lightweight presence and loose-knit structure is called for. It's an excellent wine in that idiom but lacks some of the solidity and grip it has offered in other years. It's not imbalanced at all, and the trademark stony mineral flavors are still here, it's just a slimmer version of its usual self. — 11 years ago
