Daniel Bouland

Chiroubles Gamay 2018

Really solid. Polished and silky, but earthy and mineral and rustic too. Held up for days. Structured but not impenetrable; could age, but I didn’t eat the baby. Good work in a sloppy hot year. Bouland deserves more attention; I think he’s surpassing a few of the heirs to the gang. — 5 years ago

La Verchere Vieilles Vignes Pouilly-Fuissé Chardonnay 2015

Beautifully aging pouilly fuisse. This pale yellow gold with incredible aromas of crème brûle, ripe lemon and tarte tatin. Incredible with a cheese plate. — 6 years ago

Clos La Roquète Châteauneuf-du-Pape White Rhône Blend 2016

So much richness and texture yet so drinkable. Phenolic and engaging. Subtleties abound, from white and orchard blossoms, citrus and stone fruits, beeswax, olive, radish, white pepper, tea leaves, stones. Approachable, elegant, yet cerebral enough to maintain conversation. — 8 years ago

9.0

I suppose with climate change, we're going to start seeing more of these Loire SBs without the grassy, pyrazine qualities of years past. Delicious, mineral and citrus driven wine - but it doesn't line up with what I think of as Sancerre. Time to reframe expectations! — 10 years ago

1990 vintage - stored always in the same cellar in optimal conditions, decanted before drinking - a great complex mysterious multiple layer aged Pinot, very earth and tertiary connected wine, with power and finesse in the same time - a great experience 😊 — 12 years ago

Côte de Léchet Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay

The most striking thing about this wine was the very creamy, buttery brioche flavors, along with lemon and pear. Apparently achieved through natural malolactic fermentation, along with extended lees contact. No oak (yay!). Well balanced with nice crisp acidity. Age maybe accounts for the lovely gold hints in the color? All around delish! — 7 years ago

L'Accent de la Roquete Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2010

джем из садовой вишни, с нотами лакрицы и розового перца, оттенки сухой пыльной земли. Много остаточного алкоголя, кислотность низкая; полнотелое, можно еще подождать — 10 years ago

A lot going on the nose. Red fruit, black fruit, meat, leather. Would be a good wintertime wine. Too bad they’re sold out at Kermit Lynch. Devin gave it 💯 — 6 years ago

Vieilles Vignes Nuits St Georges Pinot Noir 2009

We had the 2009 Vintage on 9/7-8/18. The strawberry fruit is subtle. There was cardomom, mushroom and a nice spice. Truly Burgundian. Medium bodied. No tannin; smooth and ready to drink. — 8 years ago

Earl Christine et Daniel Chaussy

La Chaussynette Red Rhone Blend 2015

Really lovely juice. As others have noted, has the character of a CdP--aromatics, white pepper, minerals, structure, with little heat. Dry, lean without being hollowed out. — 9 years ago

Le Pigeoulet en Provence Grenache Blend 2013

Old reliable. Always one of my favorite Rhones. Heavyish-medium body, heavy fruit, medium tannin, great food complement, mouthy. Even drinks well alone & is friendly enough not to overpower cheese or light hors d'oeuvre. — 11 years ago
