Les Beaux Jours Coteaux du Giennois Pinot Noir - Gamay Blend 2022

Bob McDonald
9.0

The 4th wine in the degustation with Byron and Paulina. A 50/50 blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay from the Loire Valley of all places. A great wine to serve blind to MW and MS students. I recall strawberry and red berry notes in general with quite fluid tannins. So easy to drink. I can’t recall the matching dish but it was a perfect match - duck was involved. — 3 months ago

@Peter van den Besselaar Yes Peter, the matching degustation wines at this restaurant were very new and unusual. The partner of the chef was a French woman from Bordeaux who was our sommelier. The chef was an Australian who spent 7 years working in France in Michelin rated restaurants where he met the Somm. A great partnership

I thought that this was excellent. 50/50 Gamay and Pinot Noir. Unusually for my experience with Passetoutgrains from Burgundy, this blend seemed to be Pinot Noir dominant. A beautiful match with the duck.

Used to get so many rips on labels from the metal racking in an old wine cellar

Excellent concentration in this value Burg, quite dark and extracted, yet still retaining balance and complexity. Could pass for a fine CA PN. Very well made. — 3 years ago

Perfumed nose of fall leaves and strawberries, but definitely leaning towards the earthy side. Palate is in a good place right now: bright and lifted, yet the acidity is well balanced. Earthy, damp fall leaves covering a hint of strawberry and brambly raspberry. — a year ago

falling somewhere between fresh and astringent this one needed some time out of the gate. 2 days helps lure out something damp leaf-like, baked berry, and stained pomegranate pith, some pleasant bitters, and a lovely garnet color with a pale blue meniscus. — 2 years ago

Château Villa Bel-Air

Graves Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

Stefan Dolhain
9.0

This estate was bought in 1988 buy Jean-Michel Cazes (Lynch Bages and more recently Haut-Batailley) and sold in 2017 to the Balland family (Baret). 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc. Aged in used Lynch Bages barrels. This 2014 is in a very good place now, but should age well for a few more years. Fresh and elegant, with typical Graves spiciness. Not the most complex but a very solid and seductive effort for the vintage. — 3 years ago
