Kellogg's Special K frosty cereal, sweet corn, yeasty and nutty. Compared to the Boisson Vadot, there is density and richness, but I suppose the age to this wine is a factor as well. A very different kind of Meursault. — 5 years ago

A nice clean crisp Bordeaux. Some citrus and a nice hint of dryness. Easy drinker. Picked up on sale for just under $12 at Central Market. One to remember for a casual dinner party. — 6 years ago

Really delicate meursault from Pierre Boisson. Def goes light oak for a delicate style. Innovative family that split up the domaine before silly heritage laws kick in. Looking forward to checking out the rest of the family labels! (Anne Boisson and Boisson-vadot) — 8 years ago

So young. Chalky sense of minerality reminiscent of still Champagne. This will be a different animal one day. With air after an hour things start to find there place. Extreme, unadulterated purity of fruit. — 9 years ago

Pink Bulles Rosé 2013 - Jean Maupertuis.

Alors que nous préparons doucement notre "top 15 des meilleurs vins en 2014", il nous semble impossible de ne pas évoquer le fabuleux Pink Bulles rosé de Jean Maupertuis.

C'est dément ce que l'on peut faire avec du Gamay et c'est Gamay de faire des trucs aussi déments ! Et c'est aussi dingue de constater le nombre de gens talentueux que l'on trouve en Auvergne : Hervé Souhaut : Saint-Épine, Destezet - Nicolas Carmarans : Selves, Mauvais Temps - Frédéric Gounan, Pierre Beauger, François Dhumes, etc.

Oui, Jean Maupertuis fait partie de ces vignerons qui faisaient autre chose dans une autre vie et puis il y a des rencontres qu'on n'oublie pas, comme celles avec Marcel Lapierre et Pierre Overnoy, lors de sa formation viti-œno. Ces fameuses rencontres qui font basculer un destin d'un état solide à celui de liquide. Du travail au plaisir.

Dans un superbe article de Libération, qui lui est consacré, on peut lire ceci : "Robe rose pâle, bulles très fines, nerveuses. Arômes de fruit délicats, pointe de sucre résiduel équilibrée d’une très belle acidité. Ce vin pétillant abordable, «Pink Bulles», tenait haut la dragée au champagne réputé". Et vous savez quoi ? C'est exactement ça !

Sauf que, ce qui n'est pas dit, c'est que ce vin enchanteur est léger et subtil. Un pétillant qui marie les attentes et les exigences que l'on peut avoir pour un excellent champagne, tout en y apportant une fraicheur et une jeunesse que celui-ci possède rarement. Mais, c'est de l'insolence ? Oui, tout à fait mais surtout un peu de folie avec beaucoup de maîtrise. C'est vrai, souvent, les pétillants natures sont fous mais peu peuvent revendiquer le fait d'être aussi raffinés que celui de Jean Maupertuis.

A 12 euros, vous tenez peut-être ici la clé du bonheur, ou en tout cas, la clé d'un bon moment entre amis autour d'une boisson enthousiasmante. Il ne reste plus qu'à trouver la cachette, bon courage (!) et bonne dégustation ;)

Dinner with Lum brothers and visiting Grafs. Interesting tasty red that fizzed when poured and continued to jump rope and dance around on palate. Fresh, vivacious, full of youthful energy and oh such a perfect suitor marrying the Chinese meats. Others say sour but JG says grows on him. No kidding. Only 11.5 ABV. Yummy. What a great Asian food wine and a red! JL email says 2015 but looks like a 2015 and a 2016 were delivered, according to the labels. Latter was opened tonight. — 6 years ago

Wow. Can't believe the freshness in this old white burg. Makes me understand why young meursault is built the way it is. Nutty up front but great acidity and freshness on the finish. Really enjoyed. — 7 years ago

Super bright and lifted fruit riding on top of a dense, chalky core. Engaging now, ought to be fun in a few years. Thanks @Max Kogod #kogodwinemerchant — 9 years ago

The palate is full of lively verve. Lemon lime high acidity. What seemed at first to be notes of hazelnut actually blew off. In fact I mistook these notes. The wine seems to be rather reduced. Color is light gold/dark lemon. Went well with roast pork. — 9 years ago

Outstanding #chateauneufdupape from the Boisson family, easily the best I’ve ever had. Heady aroma, layers of earthy richness blended with tart cherry flavors, soft tannins and elegant spice. Unlike other CDPs I’ve had, it’s not too sweet. — 6 years ago

2013 vintage. In the cellars in Meursault with Bertrand Boisset. Difficult to tell the colour in the cellar light. Great, refined nose - oak is evident but not overwhelming, nutty and citrus fruits. Tight and too young to drink right now. Fabulous tension and high acidity, medium light body, medium alcohol and medium plus concentration and length. Mineral notes on the mid palate. Complex and intellectual. Drink 2020-2036+ — 8 years ago
