Domaine du Pavillon de Chavannes

Cuvée des Ambassades Côte de Brouilly Gamay 2019

9.1

Ripe blackberry, faint mineral, much more fruit-forward than this cuvée usually presents, really drinks beautifully tonight, lovely Beaujolais! — 9 months ago

2008 - dark gold when opened, and muted. Required a good hour to blossom. but maybe one of the most evolved bottle I had. — 11 years ago

I jad given up after the 2004, but will revisit, you must know I used to like them so much I even went there to visit...fyi I am not the only person who thinks they had problems starting around 2004. I will trust you that things have changed..or we maybe disagree on their wines a bit ?

As you wish thinking ;) - you may miss something. And you must know for full disclosure I am from there and tend to go home a lot ;) - let me know if you are in NY and we will pop up some corks @jason carey DWS

Lovely, wonderful flavor, expensive but worth it, pasta sauce, fatty like carbonara, like a burgundy. — 9 years ago

Cuvée De Mon Aïeul Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 1998

Sommelier at RN74

9.1

Inaugural vintage and showing better than it did in August. Mostly old-vine Grenache from the era before the domaine began entirely destemming. This is big, burly, epic, and velvety CDP. Like hugging a fuzzy bear. — 12 years ago

Love love as always! Is this my favorite vintage for this wine? Maybe not. Does it taste a little less Pineau d’aunis-ey than usual? Probably. But I’m splitting hairs here. Awesome wine that I bet will age well — 4 years ago
