Climats Du Couchant

Roc d'Anglade

Vin de Pays du Gard Chenin Blanc 2015

Copper-gold in color; reticent, faint-floral nose even decanted; subdued, even-closed citrus-lemon palate. I'm told it's now 75% chenin, 15% chardonnay, and only 10% grenache, thus the Vin de Pays. (12% alc.) At La Cave des Climats. — 8 years ago

Bacigalupi Vineyard Chardonnay 2013

Bold expression of this games vineyard. Rich oak and a hearty texture make this wine a little bit husky. Which was the goal from the winemaking team I assume. Not a whimsy wine at all. — 9 years ago

Gérard Raphet

Les Champs Chenys Cuvée Unique Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2014

We often read discussions of wines that deserve more respect than they are designated. Villages that drink like premier crus; premieres that aspire to be GC's. in this case, we have a "lowly" villages lieu-dit surrounded on 3 sides by great Gevrey GC climats. Such a sweet spot of intense savory fruit at a price point that blows your mind. Thoroughly impressed with the pedigree of this wine, and the visceral edginess that Gerard Raphet imparts here. Spicy, fresh acidity, vibrant mesmerizing tannin, ripe cherry, earthy to the core. Soooo Burgundian! Enjoyable now (with a brilliant succulent Mahi-mahi), but will be so much more incredible in the mid-2020's. — 8 years ago

2009. Filling in the Pinot climats with some IPNC outtakes. Red Bouzy, and especially Lahaye's, has irrational sway over me. — 11 years ago

Le Couchant Chardonnay

Wow. Best Quebec white I've tasted to date. Lemon, meringue, roasted almonds, restrained oak. Round and ripe on the palate with mouthwatering acidity that cleans everything up. — 8 years ago

Domaine de Chantemerle

Fourchaume Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay

From a premier cru vineyard slightly north west of the grand cru vineyard and climats. It's really good, but in the gob it's note quite my style of of high acid, bracing Chablis; this is full bodied Chablis with soft, rounder acidity. Nose of white button mushrooms, white flowers, chestnuts, squeeze of lemon, beeswax, white peach and peach skin. — 9 years ago
