Aloxe-Corton Vieilles Vignes Cru Pinot Noir 2013

Top notch Ladoix. A few more years should take the heat off the finish. Otherwise, exceptional value. Loaded with fruit and flinty graphite. I’d really like to revisit this. — 6 years ago

OR 1er Cru Brut Champagne 2008

Lovely expression of Pinot Noir, perfect balance of fruit, minerality, acid and dosage. Pungent and classic Pinot nose that evolves in the glass with each visit, revealing more red fruits and flowers over time, but with no shortage of intensity or pure chalk character. — 7 years ago

Comte de Chenizot Brut Champagne Blend

This afternoon/evening was our first of two baby showers. Not only were we surrounded by friends & family, but we were also surrounded by some good wine & other drinks.

Delicious. I had a friend saber this as her last attempt didn’t pan out so well. Very enjoyable bubbles.

Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 2005

I haven’t had the 2005 Chateau Musar Rouge since it was released whilst living in the Middle East. Recently, I picked up a half case each of the 2005 Rouge and Blanc since it’s an anniversary wine for Holly and I. One thing is certain, no one could ever accuse Serge (and now Gaston) for making boring wines. Decanted for five hours prior to drinking. This had a crazy bouquet of grapefruit, brambles and strawberries, pipe tobacco, wild flowers, horse blanket. Delicious red fruit, spices and earth on the palate. Tannins are still present but much more integrated than when I had this on release. Examples like this bottle will continue to age gracefully for years to come. QPR is through the freaking roof. — 7 years ago

Gaston Rosé 2016

I have posted the 2015, but not this one (to my knowledge). Whereas 2015 is definitely more strawberry crush and red fruited in general, this 2016 is more watermelon, pink grapefruit, and mango on the front. The wine is very acidic on the front. The wine is of medium weight with sharp acid. There is a little less fruit here than the 2015 overall. The wine is still rather solid to the finish with the watermelon and mango notes, some kiwi here as well. I think this has very good aging potential. I think the 2016 Rose wines from the TX Hill Country are all less strawberry on a whole. But all, with exception to one thus far, are pretty damn delicious. — 8 years ago

Les Bressandes is the vineyard, a Grand Cru portion of Corton, outside of Ladoix. Delightful if I do say so.
