Les Pissenlits Chardonnay

Com un ranci amb menys potència i més dolçor. Vin de voile , vinificat com un vin jaune. Perfecte per un peyral i una fourme al Belvedère. — 9 years ago

Brouilly Gamay

This is beautifully built gamay with good density, touch of smokiness and nice grip. Friday night meatloaf never had it so good! — 10 years ago

Note that the bottle says '2102'-- b/c Dominique Andiran is sidestepping AOC regs. Both grapes used in nearby Armagnac. #biodynamic

@Sharon B same..my first Bordeaux ( many years ago) tasted like Band-Aids gone really bad. I do have a Lynch Bages 2016 in waiting. BUT most people do not touch this wine for 20 yrs +. Not sure how well I will enjoy that at age 75!! As I contemplate my wine purchases over time...!

La Bastide Saint-Dominique

Les Hespérides Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2013

Nose has smokey dry earth, dry lavender, old licorice, dried black cherry, ripe black currant, dried blackberry and (light) dried oak.

Palate has silky dried blackberry, ripe plum, black currant jam, (light) dark chocolate, dried blueberry and light tannins. Mouth coating texture. Future bottles should be 2023+

50% Grenache & 50% Mourvédre

Paired with a bottom round beef roast, slow cooked 8+ hours with autumn root vegetables and the au jus from the roast, thickened with a little of my own tomato paste, delicious.

Haven’t had a CdP in a minute, this makes me thirsty for one! On an unrelated notes love the new profile pic 😻

Thanks. Not big CdP drinkers here, as most need time to settle. Household storage bottles are recent, so they're sleeping. Have enough older versions, but they are off-site, so hard to PnP, planning required.
Not a 'new' pic, been rocking it for several weeks. Until Julia and Team push out the Android update to address the first round of bugs on their new version, I can't update it. I'm going to work thru all of the fur-kids once I have the ability to change it again.

Rueda Verdejo 2011

Atypical Verdejo. Barrel aged. Full and round. It is a popular producer. Tough to rate as high QPR as it is about double the typical Verdejo. Though the better half just gave me the evil eye because I finished the last of it. Hence the happy plus! — 13 years ago

Balanced mouthful and good acidity. Recommended

François Lurton

Mas Janeil Cotes du Roussillon-Villages Grenache Blend 2016

Medium–light bodied. Really faint tannins and mellow acids. Violets, herbs, earthy. At first taste was afraid it was too fruit forward but it quickly developed into a drier, more savory profile. Was delicious with the French dinner at Le Crocodile. — 6 years ago

Meursault Chardonnay 2016

Campo Alegre Toro Tempranillo 2011

I'm partial to Spanish wines and this is no exception. It can stand alone as a solid Tempranillo or it an be (as I discovered last night) the rich topping on a very refreshing mixed drink. — 12 years ago
