"St. Mapalis" Plan de Dieu Côtes du Rhône Villages Red Rhone Blend 2019

On the nose, violet petals, beets, and a little tobacco. On the palate, mint, liquorice, anise, plum, and gorgeous dark fruits. Finish is pleasingly herbaceous, with moderate tannins and a mild refreshing acidity. Very little barrel detectable but still so rich and satisfying. — 3 years ago

Clos des Mouches Beaune 1er Cru Chardonnay 2013

9.5

After 6 years this is starting to really strut its stuff and live up the exalted status of this great 1er Cru. Nose of lemon zest, lemon curd, mineral, kiss of oak, a little muted for now as a bit cold but palate is unreal. Huge density and richness with terrific acidity and freshness. Massively mineral finish with serious structure and concentration. Finish is compact and comes across as massive yet closed. Very pure and just superb quality. Very complex finish and really all the way through.Stunning showing. Great terroir. Wish i would have waited longer and i rarely say that. — 6 years ago

Vieilles Vignes Chassagne-Montrachet Pinot Noir 2016

Montrachet is still the best white on the planet, but is it worth the price difference from some really good Burgundy or Bordeaux options? This is great juice and not too pricey for a true Montrachet. — 6 years ago

Billard Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2015

Nose is cherry flower. A hint of skunkiness but not a lot.

Palate really has not a huge amount of fruit. A tad vegetal. A tad hot. Still some juiciness. Some soft rather lovely cherry. Some good deliciousness.

Fruit is a bit soft. Otherwise I’d like it more.

I’m enjoying drinking this even if it isn’t perfect. I’m not either.

As this opens the nose gets cherry lipstick. Lovely.

Bright and fresh and moreish with a little bit of texture. Doesn’t have endless length, but the crisp finish and attractive nose make it good drinking. — 6 years ago

Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2015

Cranberry, cassis. Barolo-like overtones of grated nutmeg and black tea. Long, lifted and ferociously concentrated. Staggering value. #billardgonnet #burgundy — 7 years ago
