Some brett on the nose which blew off quickly. Then dark cherry, acai and pomegranate with chalky elements - an excellent classic burgundy from a good vintage with the elegance expected from a Chambolle - well worth the wait. Over dinner at Ponsaty's in Rancho Santa Fe. — 7 years ago

From the Lombardy region of northern Italy, this is made by the wollersheim winery winemaker phillipe's younger brother Jean-Francois Coquard. Fantastic and approachable table wine. It goes great with good, particularly fatty, red meat. The beets are very present in both smell and taste. Notes from the maker: full-bodies red with aromas reminiscent of eucalyptus, red beets, little berries and notes of almond on the finish. Made from their estate-grown Italian Bonarda grape. — 8 years ago

Very pleasant, fruity and crisp, not too complex but did an excellent job accompanying the pumpkin soup — 9 years ago

Tight as a field mouse's larynx. Needs a good three hours of decanting to open up. Ah, but when it does... Cherry iced cream, raspberry ketchup, and lots and lots of peppered strawberries. Primary zest versus secondary structure. However, it's still mysteriously closed - will it ever fully open?

I've heard some harsh words about this producer so this bottle, my first encounter with them, certainty came as a bit of a pleasant surprise. — 7 years ago

Strawberry, and wow acidity is stinging still! Fennel made a late appearance on the nose and lightly on the palate. What a crazy Village level wine, beautiful example of the vintage. Ullage was upper mid shoulder.
The craziest part of this experience...$50 for the bottle, best bottle ever at this price point! — 7 years ago

I had the chance to visit J Vineyards in 2015, and was impressed (no pun intended) by the large Coquard press flanking the processing bay of the winery. The Coquard press is traditionally used by Champagne houses, and is extremely gentle. J's Brut Rosé is as I remember it, fresh and vivacious, brimming with red apple skins, fresh from the market raspberries, and white flowers. The color of rose gold, the attack is clean and bright, kissed with pomegranate, pomelo and limestone that meanders to a lingering finish. — 7 years ago

For a liquid, this is pretty solid! Don't know the producer. — 9 years ago

9.0

2011 vintage, Clos Vougeot, in half bottle at the domaine. Deep concentrated, black fruited, spicy nose. On the palate, fleshy and round, but there's an astringency and dryness from unintegrated tannins that make this unapproachable for me right now (just like the Aux Combottes). Don't open for another 7 years. — 9 years ago
