Millésime Brut Champagne 2009

Lovely nose of ripe pear, honey, cake frosting. Pretty easy to sip - round, toasty, decent acidity, slight pleasant bitterness, fresh enough but age showing nicely. — 5 months ago

Un Jour de 1911 Brut Champagne Pinot Noir

Wish I knew the base year and other relevant info re this bottle. I’ve had it a couple years. Lovely stuff. Since they claim to make 1911 bottles, what do they do with the rest if “more” is vinified? — 5 months ago

Indeed excellent qpr. If you buy a case then each bottle is wrapped in straw and has it's own booklet. On the back of the booklet you can see the bottle nr xxxx/1911 and the degorgement date. This at least gives a hint of the period. It is a blend of multiple years so if they have a rich harvest maybe they save some for blending purposes with future vintages? They make other cuvee's as well so they blend excess wine with those also

Les Tuffeaux Montlouis-sur-Loire Chenin Blanc 2020

Demi-sec. Pineapple, honey, lemon rind. Not what I usually look for in Chenin, but this is undeniably a good wine. Elegant, full, and with a finish that just won’t quit. — 7 months ago

François Cazin (Le Petit Chambord)

Le Petit Chambord Vendanges Manuelles Cour-Cheverny AOC Romorantin 2006

A 2006 late harvest Romorantin from the Loire Valley. Off dry and delicious with food
Beeswax, hazelnuts, honeysuckle (def botrytised)
This wine leads with minerality but has flavors of lemon rind and stone fruit. 🫶

Le Bois Jacou Touraine Gamay

A solid budget “Beauj”. This actually tastes like terroir and you can tell the winemaker is trying to not get too involved in the cellar unlike last nights moulin a vent. A lightness and tartness that is quite fun raspberry notes of fruit and a lot of acidity lead to a good drinking wine. Perhaps cherry notes in the middle? The finish isn’t huge but it does linger after swallowing. Actually the nose is quite pretty. Lilac notes? A flower. Highly recommended. The light tartness on the finish might a little much for some people. Maybe air will mellow it. Will buy again.
Edit: after 20 or 30 min of air the tart end integrates and the wine smoothed even more out. This probably deserves a higher rating than 9. Highly recommended

Les Chalasses Marnes Bleues Côtes du Jura Savagnin

(It’s evening). Bright straw yellow. Pronounced nose. Blossom, peach, sweet yeastiness, gentle nuttiness, golden apples and pears, spicy chicken skin soup, sweet baking spices (vanilla, cinnamon). Deep and intense but round and broad, not piercing.
Dry, high acid, high alcohol, full, rounded body, hint of spritz, very saline, nice long finish. A bit austere. Couldn’t quite cope with brilllat savarin but great with the others.
Les Resistantes remains supreme.

Cuvée Florine Côtes du Jura Chardonnay 2014

29/VII/2017
Строгий старт: лимонная цедра, зеленое яблоко, аскорбинка, мел, крапива. Со временем проступает цитрусовая сладость, ромашка, недозрелый нектарин. Лёгкое тело, свежее и сочное, меловая текстура, тонкий алкоголь; во вкусе кислые цитрусы, сушеные яблоки. Сфокусировано, с внутренним нервом. 17/20

Chapelot Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 1989

This seems fresher than the 1989 Butteaux (plus, the entire cork, in 3 distinct pieces, came out of the bottle), color is light/medium gold, but fruit doesn’t show the depth of the 1989 Butteaux, both are still alive and solid (at 35 YEARS!?!?), but this Chapelot is fresher, while the Butteaux is fatter/richer, thus I’ll give each the same score! — 6 months ago

Grande Réserve Brut Champagne

Pale gold color in glass. Yeasty notes up front that dissipate with bubbles, light citrus, soft green apple and wet stone on the nose. Palate is delightful, prominent salted lemon peel at the forefront, green apple, precisely balanced acidity and dosage. Sometimes there’s no substitute for quality #grandcruchampagne — 7 months ago
