oh yeah baby - at last, well made Madiran at decent price point: inky brooding dark fruit & exotic spice, cocoa, coffee, licorice, layered, sexy full bodied fleshy - lingering finish — 9 days ago

The label on these looks like they jacked the style from Sandlands 🤔

Caves Ropiteau Freres

Chassagne-Montrachet Chardonnay 2020

Ropiteau Chassagne-Montrachet V.2020
From core d’Or, Burgundy, France, a Sophisticated & Layered Chardonnay.

A beautifully crafted white Burgundy showing poise, complexity, and finesse. The nose is refined, vanilla, lemon zest, buttered toast, stone fruits, and a whisper of hazelnut. Even five years in, it shines with bright acidity and a stony minerality.

On the palate, it’s dry and layered, subtle oak, citrus, apricot, and honey glide into a long, elegant finish. Medium+ acidity keeps it lifted and precise. Definitely cellar-worthy, but already drinking beautifully.

Pair it with rich poultry, lobster, creamy sauces, or aged cheeses. Pure class in the glass. 🍋🍑🧈

Cuvée Speciale Santa Ynez Valley Counoise 2021

Third bottle of this wine. It’s kinda wack straight outta the gate. But 2-3 days in the fridge turns it into something very delicious. — 2 years ago

Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2022

A classical, and more regional-driven Burgundian 100% Pinot Noir. Enticing sharp red cherry color, red fruity aromas with rounded acidity, so typical from Burgundy’s soil of clay-limestone based. Since it combines grapes sourcing from village to village with different terroirs selected to enhance an elegant expression of Pinot Noir, this one still keeps the Ropiteau’s house style. It is definitely an excellent region representation at an excellent price point. Cheers! — 5 months ago
