Sometimes you don’t need an excuse to open a bottle of #gevreychambertin. Vincent Girardin’s 2016 effort here is lovely. Decanted for 30+ minutes and tasting notes recorded over the next day as bottle opened up in wine fridge, sipping out of Burgundy glasses. Delicate aromas of cherry preserves, tobacco leaf and sandalwood. Plenty of weight on the palate, hints of licorice, cola nut, a wave of cherry and lingonberry with lush acidity on the finish and gossamer tannins trailing off into a mouth smacking long finish. Those dark fruit and tobacco notes plus the acidity paired well with wood fired turkey pepperoni pizza, believe it or not. It’s humbling to confirm the hundreds of years of hype are justified with the finer wines of #bourgogne.

Bruins win and this Pinot is a winner too. Beautiful nose of dark, sweet plum-tinged cherry, graham cracker, and rich moist gravel. Delicate in weight yet with intense flavors, it’s got nice acids and gossamer tannins. Long finish. Nice job! — 6 years ago

Gorgeous nose. Spice, balsam, Damp earth, pine needle, raspberry and strawberry fruit. So aromatic. Layered and precise aromas. Excellent aromatic showing. Palate is ripe and juicy with wonderful balancing acidity and freshness. Lovely earthy sweetness and nice persistence. Gossamer like. — 7 years ago

Love. Soft, subtle, silky. Red fruits and a little spice, everything you know Bordeaux can do and enough weight that it's not mere gossamer in the glass or on the palate. — 9 years ago

Rhubarb, tart wild strawberry jam, gossamer texture and silky weight on the palate, long elegant finish, bright fruit and tertiary sherry-like quality at the same time — 10 years ago

Who says 2007 red Burgundies are wimpy??? For sure not us... this pretty little #Pinot from #MarquisdAngerville was the essence of pure, velvety #Burgundy... as delicate and gossamer as lacy lingerie... and just as soft--SANTÉ! #Volnay #Fremiet #1erCru — 10 years ago

Last bottle of this in my cellar😔ABV on the lighter side @ 12.5% but I prefer a demur wine in comparison to an unabashed one. Previous notes apply ,a gorgeous gossamer of a wine! — 5 years ago

100 on the winary. tobacco, grass, freshly shorn sheep, galena, iron oxide, grapes, raspberry, a faint whiff of yellow birch bark, tangerine, notes of washed agate. maybe a fleeting gossamer thread of elderberry — 7 years ago

Toby Hill crafts a delicate Pinot Noir with a Burgundian ethos that speaks to the essence of site. This captures all the classic elements of the Cerise Vineyard, a site that remains a personal favorite. Rose petal, raspberries and cream, crushed minerals and salt, and of course its namesake tart red cherry flavors form a gossamer, ethereal wine that feels lighter than air. A taste of Chambolle in the Anderson Valley. — 8 years ago

Still too young but amazing nose of tobacco, jalapeño, but a little heady. Light, almost gossamer texture but doesn't like intensity. Plums, black currant, anise, black cherry, and lots of length lead into some still grainy yet soft tannins. Tasty — 9 years ago

The ascendancy of Thierry Germain is complete! A wine of incredible clarity and finesse delivering layers of complex scents and flavors on a gossamer thread (12.5%!). — 10 years ago

Gossamer like qualities of stone fruit, lemon, and a touch of brett. Its backbone of acid makes this wine incredibly easy to drink. Paired with a spicy fish and rice dish. — 10 years ago

Very light body. The wine feels fleeting in my mouth, slipping out of reach. Ripe cherries, gossamer tannins, acidity with the utmost refinement. Almost a spritual experience. — 10 years ago

Wine #400 goes to the man who broke my bank account and also the man who introduced me to the power of white Burgundy. You have the Lafon and Roulot’s of the world and then you have Leroux. the guy is able to create the right balance between the silky gossamer feel of white burgundy and the high salinity profile I get with some New age Cali coastal chardonnays. Leroux is someone I’d look out for and take his wines seriously. Between Mikulski and Leroux... you can’t find better bargains. — 6 years ago

Bonkers showing. So ethereal and pretty with gossamer like strawberry and cranberry. Palate has a delicate Lacey like texture and lovely sweet fruit and elegant beautiful tannins. Rocking bottle. So ethereal and just like a red Riesling. A bottle to slam by yourself in 45 minutes. — 8 years ago

Outstanding. Gossamer pale peach with honeyed highlights, expressing pure alpine air, catmint, dried honeycomb, white peach, cherubs tears, and meadow flowers. On the palate, it’s elegant and beautifully balanced, each note perfection, not unlike Vivaldi’s Le Quattro Stagioni, here is lilting, refined, pitch-perfect acidity set against a backdrop of dewy raspberries that extends to sweet saline-edged oblivion. — 10 years ago
