F Salento Negroamaro 2021

Vintage 2021 | tasted blind next to Montepulciano. Dark colour. Chocolate and plum in taste. A warm taste, I call it chic. Although an introverted character, this wine impressed me. — a year ago

Domaine des Comtes Lafon

Volnay Santenots-du-Milieu 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2018

Fruits noirs, des épices au nez comme en bouche qui est magnifique, c’est puissant et équilibré en même temps, texture soyeuse, finale très longue, gros niveau, très chic et encore super jeune. 93-94

Dark fruits, spices, magnificent bottle, powerful yet balanced, great soft and silky texture despite the power, great length. To the level of many GC, still young.

Billecart-Salmon

Cuvée Elisabeth Salmon Brut Rosé Champagne 2007

🏅Rating 92/100 (4,2⭐)

I always struggle with rose champagnes. Somehow they don't convince me and almost never justify the price tag. But there are a few which I am satisfied with.

Cuvee Elisabeth is definitely in my top list. Its first vintage is 1988 and was created as a counterpart to another prestige cuvee of the house Nicolas François.

This cuvee is about the elegance and finesse rather than the power. Made of equal parts of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir it is blended with less than 10% of red wine from old vines in Mareuil-sur-Aÿ.

Chic rose color with copper hue. Reductive style with a cooler 2007 vintage showing through. Apricot jam, candied citrus, sugar powdered red berries. Delicate bitter cool and dry finish. Disg. in Feb 2019 after spending impressive 11 years on lees. The dosage of 6 g/l is enough to reach the perfect balance.

Saldo California Zinfandel 2017

Drank half last night. Tonight, this was a nice pair with blackened tuna. Big blackfruit with a little residual sugar cut the Cajun spices just right for me. My beautiful wife and her equally chic mother are having Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio with salmon. I really dislike salmon.

Selection Parcellaire Petula Rosé Syrah Grenache 2017

It’s a big bright jolly rancher melange extravaganza! But underneath the Candyland terroir runs a steak of limestone chic. That’s how I characterize this wine: Jolly Rancher meets mineral chalk chic. — 7 years ago

Càntele

Amativo Salento Primitivo Negroamaro

Bejeweled and rich garnet red flares encapsulate any wine glass in hand. Vibrate notes of glistening cherries carry forward and transition to simple earth undertones, followed by more red fruit. Chic tannins with a lingering finish. A must have in your wine cellar for a special night with special friends! — 3 years ago

Château Saint-André Corbin

St. Georges-St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Color of ripe plum with pronounced legs on the glass. Deep fruity nose with tanned leather over loamy earth tones. Lots of fruit on the palate develops a rich, full body. But deeply dry like a French wine should be. Tannin finish with berries and leather on the lips. Best of Bordeaux with some Napa thrown in. Tres chic, dude! A wine to enjoy now while you can. — 8 years ago
