"St. Mapalis" Plan de Dieu Côtes du Rhône Villages Red Rhone Blend 2023

Nose: cooking spices, peppers, dark berries.

Taste: nice acidity, peppers (dry, not sweet), savoury spices (I do get the paprika claimed on the label!), dark berries, beeswax. Not my preferred style but well made — and paired well with tacos! 89.

Les Marconnets Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Notes of plum, earth, soy sauce. I thought tannins were still fairly pronounced but not rough. Lovely pairing with our smoked abalone and black cod….. — 3 years ago

Mont de Milieu Vieilles Vignes Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2011

This is one of the very best bottles of Chablis I’ve had. Intensely pleasing. Amped up. Everything I love about white wine. I am really sad that I only had one bottle but thrilled I got to experience it at its peak. — 7 years ago

Boys weekend in Detroit.
A very lifted expression of burgundy. So much focus and separation on the mid palate. Waxy lemons define the texture on the palate, which then combine with white fruits. Superb length on the finish. Moderate acidity and delicate sweetness bring home a wonderful experience from start to finish.
Even better on day two.

Savigny-les-Beaune Pinot Noir 2017

Really a wonderful Burgundy for the always reliable (and now quite pricey) Bize. This 17 Savigny is in a great spot. High toned, balanced, refreshing acids, good mix of earth and fruit. Perfect pairing with the classic Sunday roast chicken with mushrooms. Tonight drinking better and more enjoyable than the several premier crus we have enjoyed from him in the past few years. — 3 years ago

Love Bize. Definitely seems like the premier crus need significant time

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. — 7 years ago

Les Serpentières Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2007

Lingering taste that I can’t place. Bottle kept evolving and started out tired and then woke up and got it going! Savory finish that was tired and awake at the same time. — 8 years ago

Pretty average all around. I had higher expectations, but they weren’t fulfilled. I have had no luck with higher priced white wines. Maybe I’m just drinking excellent value lower priced ones, because I find them much better! — 7 years ago
