Chateau De La Vieille Chapelle

Larmandier-Bernier

Vieille Vigne du Levant Grand Cru Champagne Blend 2011

From magnum. Initially quite linear and more of an aperitif with bright citrus and apple notes with lovely acidity. After 90 minutes however, this became a much more gastronomic champagne with pineapple and powerful autolytic notes of toasted brioche and almonds. It was awesome and a reserved my last pour to sip on until the very end. From the bottle inscription, this looked to be disgorged 6/11/2019 — 2 years ago

Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1999

18-. 1999. Still youthful, lovely Pinot nose, great mouthfeel and depth, balanced, long. But the previous bottle of the same wine, last night , was corked. And so it goes... — 8 years ago

Domaine La Tour Vieille

La Pinède Collioure Red Blend 2009

Juicy Grenache dominate aromas with red raspberry, strawberry and red cherry fruit. The nose has a nice herbal edge with notes of fresh and dried thyme plus a hint of soy. The wine has a plush mouthfeel with silky tannins. There is good acidity to buffer the fruit and a nice sense of minerality. — 9 years ago

Wonderful aromatics and texture as usual for Fourrier. The 2018 vintage is a bit more closed than I expected. Pomegranate, cherries, hint of musk, white pepper on the nose. Great structure, salinity, energy and balance on the palate. Long finish. Grand cru quality stuff from Fourrier - punching above it’s weight. — 2 years ago

Domaine Fourrier

Clos Solon Vieille Vigne Morey St. Denis Pinot Noir 2012

Young, but drinking so well with beautiful, pure, dark red cherry fruit. Nice tartness with that Morey earth in the background. No one in Burgundy captures such pure and delicious fruit flavors like Fourrier does. Can't wait to try the next bottle 5 years down the road. — 8 years ago

Chapelle St. Theodoric

Le Grand Pin Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2011

A delicious wine that should show even more in the next few years. With notes of kirsch and black currant, this soft, but complex wine is delicious. It has slight herbaceous undertones that round out the fruit forwardness. Probably one of the better Chat. Du Papes from this vintage. — 10 years ago

Domaine De La Chapelle Des Bois

"Grand Pré" Fleurie Gamay 2015

A nice Beaujolais from a vintage that I don’t usually love compared to 2014/2016. Definitely better with an hour or so in a decanter to let the tannins integrate a bit more. Dark purple in the glass - darker than expected. Nice cherry aromas. Still could resolve a bit more on the finish but with a slight chill is nice. — 6 years ago

Totally agree on the vintages. 14s were killer. 15s just too much heat
