Clos du Tremblay Moulin-à-Vent Gamay 2014

Pretty Moulin-à-Vent in typical style of the appellation. Deep ruby color, rich but discreet multiple nose, with notes of raspberry, pepper, herbs (vetiver), undergrowth. Fine mouth. A wine with discreet charm and many subtle nuances that amateurs will appreciate. Great finesse. Can still age 5/10 years.

Veuve Clémence Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

9.4

Finishing up the Launois from last night. Always enjoy the experiences of vintage champagne but, simply still like this over the 04 Bollinger RD & the 06 La Grande Dame as well as a number of other producers.

Bright, fresh and live on the palate. Lots of green apple, some golden apple, overripe pineapple, white citrus, white peach, some bruised pear, touch of all spice, caramel notes, volcanic minerals, excellent chalk, sea shell fossils, baguette crust, some ginger & cream soda, jasmine, spring flowers & yellow lilies. The acidity is fantastically lively and the rich, polished, elegant finish goes on nearly endlessly.

Hard to beat even with more expensive champagne price points and a steal at $44.99.

Napoléon Premier Cru du Cognac Grande Champagne Blend

I don’t drink very much cognac and can’t remember when or where I picked up this bottle, but a small pour sounded good to end a cold and snowy day. Light in color. Body feels light at first, but gains viscosity. Spicy, oaky, and a little astringent on the finish. It reminded more of some really good scotch I’ve had than of some slightly sweeter cognacs. I liked it a lot. — 4 years ago

Incredible! Anything from 1938- 44. Wondering who made these wines. Even if they’re from southern France. Women ,children , older people?

@David L agree! Those stories are amazing. Farmers needing to keep the farm running, essentially.
