La Chatenière Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Chardonnay 2015

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our conductor Andris Nelsons is leading just one wonderful piece, MAHLER (Symphony No. 3), accompanied with the Tanglewood Festival Chorus.

We're revisiting some producer bottles from our late Spring France vacation earlier this year.

Stunning nose of pineapple core, wildflower honey and wet stones, I'm not sure I can actually describe all the magic happening in this glass. Palate is evolving with each sip, under-ripe pineapple, over-ripe pear, watery honey, light oak touch and wet slate dust. Just amazing!

Photos of beautiful late Spring (2018) biodynamic vineyard rows in Saint Aubin, my winemaker crush Jean Jacques Morel giving us the low down inside his living cellar and our bottle of the evening.

We only enjoyed about 1/3 of the bottle, saving for a day or so to see where this goes, notes will be updated.

So cool! Met the father and son duo this summer at a small wine fair Jasnières. Glad I have a few bottles to wait on!

That bottle must have gotten a new label... Back then they called it domaine Charriere and a different design too... Old stock from the winery??

Côte Saint Jacques Bourgogne Pinot Gris 2012

Not a rosé - but rather a vin gris made from Pinot Gris. Exceptional structure with light strawberry and melon flavors meeting a mineral backbone of a very pleasing quality! I could drink this all summer. — 9 years ago

Le Ban Saint-Aubin Pinot Noir 2014

Lyle Fass
9.2

Pretty funky upon opening. Horsey like a Raffault. But there is a sense of big cherry fruit lurking. Very floral as well. Some combo there of fresh flowers and horseshit. After 30-45 minutes the shit is gone and it’s all violets, earth and cherries. Awesome. Morel is magic. Palate is deep, raw like only Morel can be, with terrific freshness and acidity and a lovely rusticity. St Aubin Rouge are not the most elegant Burgundies but they have so much more than elegance. This wine is long. Really long. It’s a crazy wine that I think with 3-4 more years will really show well. This is like a young version of the 08. — 7 years ago

8.9

Loads of Syrah spice and bay leaves additions, complementing its developed fruit character where pure, gently dried cherries, figs, Vahlrona chocolate and blackberry jam add complexity to the still promising, built-up finish. — 9 years ago

Los Frionnes Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Vibrant red cherries from first whiff. Fruit is very much alive while there is a cool earthiness and perhaps even iron. On the palate, dark cherries. Light medium body with some fleshiness. Medium acidity and finish. — 7 years ago
