La Taupe Bourgogne Rouge Pinot Noir 2019

Very fruitforward with (stewed) red fruit & blueberries, moist undergrowth and a whiff of herbs. Not shy at all yet retaining good freshness.
Starts quite soft & mellow on the palate, with the fine tannins framing the juicy fruit and a mineral, graphite note underlining the whole.
Good depth & character, would prefer a bit more lightness of touch.
An excellent Bourgogne Rouge nonetheless.

Good note! I'm a little surprised about the name though, la taupe translates into the mole. Curious name if you ask me 😊!

Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Minerally, lemon clawback from a tease of tropics/gooseberry. New oak gives it a little more seriousness, but not a malo/creamy mess — it’s crisp. Good “house” Sancerre — 5 years ago

Brut Bugey Montagnieu White Blend

Toasty biscuit, tart apricot, lime zest in the bouquet. Stone fruit, cave minerals, lemon curd, hints of golden apple on the palate. Zesty bubbly that’s well balanced... Happy New Year!! — 6 years ago

Blanc de Blancs Avize Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

One of my Fav’s! Look for these 2 words on a Champagne Label-Récoltant Manipulant, Grower makes & markets Champagne under their own label, from grapes exclusively sourced from their own vineyards and processed on premises. Fruit/floral bouquet, w/chalky minerals. Fine bubbles, nice mousse, showing quality. Outstanding rich flavors of peach, lemon and honey, well balanced, good structure, creamy. Finish with toasty oak & mineral notes that lingered. Very consistent quality. — 8 years ago

Les Chanlins 1er Cru Pommard Pinot Noir 2018

Lyle Fass
9.4

Lovely aromas. Big time Pommard stones and minerals. Gorgeous blackberry and black cherry fruit. Really vivid and detailed. So pretty. Palate is ripe, lush and elegant with terrific balance. A bit clipped on the finish which will surely gain with air. Lovely persistence of black cherry with elegant and dusty tannins. Terrific concentration and a classic very old school profile. Needs time but very good today but will be much better in 5 years.

After 6-7 hours open this has changed. 9.3 to 9.4. So elegant and pure now. Really deep. So refined.

Les Genévrières Meursault 1er Cru Chardonnay 2013

8.9

Nose is like 45-50% pre moxed. See that color? Palate is good. Rich, complex and deep. Nose has some minerals, lime zest, and real depth but the almond:sherry thing is also there. This is half premoxed. Still drinkable but not in an ideal state. — 6 years ago

Prem-ox from a '13 Meursault is troubling. Do you know anything about why that might be the case chez Chavy-Chouet?

@Aravind Asok no idea. But he changed his whole regimen in 16 and the wines are sick from 16 on. I’ve seen many premoxed 13/14/12/11’s etc on the White burg pre mox wiki so not that unusual.
