Grand Mouton Carte Noire Melon de Bourgogne 2021

Been on a muscadet kick lately and this is definitely my favorite so far. Has a nice lemon zest smell with that nice funky smell to it. Taste is of lemon curd with a wonderful mouthfeel. Delicious!

Tete du Clos Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2013

Hell yea.

About an hour after opening - my astounded thought to myself: this must be the platonic ideal of ‘razor sharp precision’. Just an astounding, and absolutely delicious wine.

La Folle Noire d'Ambat Fronton Negrette 2020

After the Sicilian off dry white which I drank only a glass of in disappointment, I decided to open something I knew would make me happy. We are watching Dunkirk while drinking this wine and the contrast between the on-screen drama and the funky liveliness in the glass is stunning!
As usual the nose is a bit funky at fist and takes a good 20 to 30 minutes to set into place. Then it's violet, blueberry, clay, that iron thing too, which I always smell in this cuvée, no matter the vintage. The palate is big, bright and fruity. There are blueberry notes all along, some cherry too. Some width, a nice and soft mouthfeel, some tannins in the rear, and a really nice anf long finish with fruits, some pepper, and a nice tannic layer. There is a subtle savory note too, almost meaty, that makes it more complex than you would have bet at first. Of course this is, as always, a very biased review, but I mean, what's not to like there?

9.0

Sample bottle from a friend who sells. This fruit is only about 30 miles from Burgundy.

Nice bottle. Round bottle, lighter c02. Brioche right off the top, lime, lemon pear, bruised golden & ripe apple, melon, non distinct red berries, hard chalkiness, flint, saline, crushed limestone minerals, ginger, yellows flowers, nice round acidity and a nice, fresh finish.

Organic tomatoes from my garden, burrata, olive oil, Tondo balsamic, fresh organic basil, Maldon salt. Simple Sourdough from Companion Bakery, the best.
