Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2022

Ripe plum, light but noticable tanins, medium bodied, works for burgundy fans and skeptics alike. — 2 years ago

Les Grands Champs Cuvée Unique Bourgogne Pinot Noir

From a lieu dit surrounded by Gevrey. Definitely young but with a couple hour decant quite enjoyable and accessible. Tons of sweet cherry on the nose; aromatically really quite intense. Full on the palate, get more tannin than I was expecting, but very nicely balanced by a lot of acid. Enjoyed it with a roast chicken provencal but could have stood up to red meat too. Nice qpr at ~$30. Note this is not the “cuvee unique”, which apparently a 100% new oak bottling - this is the regular which is 85% old. — 6 years ago

Lavaux St. Jacques Cuvée Unique Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir

2016. Really great wine. A bit young and will be great in 5+ years. Earthy woodsy nose, medium body, some dark fruit with mineral. Decant for at least 1 hour. — 8 years ago

Les Champs Chenys Cuvée Unique Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2014

We often read discussions of wines that deserve more respect than they are designated. Villages that drink like premier crus; premieres that aspire to be GC's. in this case, we have a "lowly" villages lieu-dit surrounded on 3 sides by great Gevrey GC climats. Such a sweet spot of intense savory fruit at a price point that blows your mind. Thoroughly impressed with the pedigree of this wine, and the visceral edginess that Gerard Raphet imparts here. Spicy, fresh acidity, vibrant mesmerizing tannin, ripe cherry, earthy to the core. Soooo Burgundian! Enjoyable now (with a brilliant succulent Mahi-mahi), but will be so much more incredible in the mid-2020's. — 9 years ago

Cigalus Vin de Pays d'Oc White Blend 2020

A stunning blend of Chardonnay, Viognier and Sauvignon showcasing the best of each grape. Crisp acidity, gorgeous floral, peach aroma with elderflower, orange blossom, tangerine, Meyer lemon, green apple, ripe pear, chalk, flint, crushed fresh herbs (thyme and sage) and a hint of oaky vanilla. Great length and for all its opulence, is elegant with great finesse. — 3 years ago
