Domaine Combe De La Belle

Stolpman Vineyards

Combe Ballard Canyon Trousseau 2022

Light garnet color. Very interesting nose and palate of red fruits, rose petals, dried herbs, black tea, bergamot and sweet baking spices. Hint of eucalyptus on the long, complex and earthy finish. Smooth tannins. Lively, bright and very well balanced. Nice concentration for a light bodied wine. Excellent! — a year ago

Belle Epoque Rosé Brut Champagne Blend 2012

This was too young and way too tight. It was minimally expressive. Floral and red cranberry. Palette was expansive but it was tightly wound. Finish was short. This needs much time. — 6 years ago

Belle de Nuit Central Coast Gewürztraminer 2019

Chasing my chaotic self-administered pandemic hair chopping with a Gewurtz from Arroyo Seco which seems to me apropos as I imagine the region as wind-swept and tousled. This wine is not so much and that is a good thing. All is in harmony. There is just the right amount of everything and it hits you in order—the lychees are followed by a green lawn leading to the flower garden full of roses and gardenias all spirited along by a nice amount of acid and powered by a prickling tannin. I’m not normally the biggest Gewurtz fan but I’d reach for this a second time. I’d maybe even pair it with a “hard to pair” thing like artichoke. Something about the floral nature of both I think could line up. Is that crazy? Maybe. But this is coming from someone who just used her kitchen scissors to give herself an intentionally asymmetrical haircut. — 4 years ago

La Combe Rotalier Crémant du Jura Chardonnay

Kanske det bästa ”bubblet” jag har druckit som inte är från champagne. Otroligt imponerande faktiskt. Har egentligen det mesta av friskhet, syra, kritighet och gul frukt. Kanske inget stort vin att spara länge men dricks väldigt bra just nu. — 6 years ago
