Beautiful Beaujolais Villages at Rochambeau in Bostson — 4 years ago
Much better than my last btl about 1.5 yrs ago. Oak better integrated, but still.char and a touch of pyrazine...which I guess I would call vintage character. On the palate: good acidity, roasted strawberry and excellent density with fantastic spice. Soft tannin on the juucy and spicy finish. Excellent. — 5 years ago

Still excellent years later! More autumnal notes and fall leaves. Nice — 2 months ago
A fantastic bottle of Chablis-adjacent, just great a year since our last bottle. Please see prior notes on the vintage. (A touch more salty than before, but doing fine.)
On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our guest conductor Karina Canellakis is leading WAGNER (Prelude to Lohengrin, Act 1), CHOPIN (Piano Concerto No. 2 in F minor, Opus 21) with one of our local treasures, Emanuel (Manny!) Ax on piano and then RACHMANINOFF (Symphonic Dances, Opus 45). A fantastic night is ahead of us! — 3 years ago

Super Beauj. Medium-bodied with nice structure, plenty of aromatics and acidity. — 5 years ago
Can’t beat this at $40.00
WA rating,
The 2016 Viré-Clessé Cuvée E. J. Thevenet is showing beautifully, unfurling in the glass with notes of elderflower, beeswax, pear, white flowers and peach. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and precise, it's lively and concentrated, concluding with a saline finish. This is a more elegant, less muscular wine than the 2015, nodding to the style of the lovely 2013. I vividly remember visiting the domaine in October 2016, in pouring rain, when everyone else in the neighborhood had finished picking and Gautier Thevenet hadn't yet begun! — 4 years ago

Actually a robust wine prominently showing that 2003 heat I’d come across every so often. Makes it interesting mixed into the more classical Burg profile, perhaps not silkily balanced but still thought provoking and a good one with Evan’s over salted soyu chicken — 13 days ago
