After trying several bottles of similar wines of similar regions - this was everything we wanted in a wine - fruity but not too much - subtle tang, earthy and fruity and flawless. — 8 years ago
Louis Jadot Marsannay Blanc 2014 $30.
Marsannay, the village marking the No. gateway to the Côte d'Or, leaving Dijon, capital of Burgundy, home to Ducs de Bourgogne, marking the beginning of Route des Grands Crus. Marsannay received its Appellation in 1987, recognition of the high quality of its wine. Pale straw with complex aromas of light stone fruits and sweet spice. On the palate some sour apple with vanilla and nutty flavors, notable high acidity on lingering finish ending with generous mineral tones. — 9 years ago
Grandiose! Avec autant de complexité et de longueur, certains grands vins devraient avoir honte. Noix, pomme, tabac séché, curry, sel... Magnifique — 9 years ago

Il y a des vins dont nous avons malheureusement qu'une bouteille. Une orpholine. On aurait du acheter une caisse au lieu d'un exemplaire. Quel beau vin. Fruité et equilibré à souhait. Ce vin est un chef d'oeuvre. — 12 years ago
Dark, earthy, nice depth, satisfying Bourgogne. — 7 years ago
Light straw in color with a golden hue.
Very aromatic nose of lemons, white flowers, yeast, green apples, grapefruits, minerals, spices, herbs and white pepper.
Light bodied with high acidity and a lot of tiny bubbles.
Dry on the palate with green apples, grapefruits, bread, spices and white pepper.
Medium plus in length with limes and bitter almonds.
A well balanced sparkling wine from France. Enjoyable by itself or with food. Good quality, fruity and refreshing.
I had it at the end of the meal, by itself. This is delightful.
10.5% alcohol by volume. — 8 years ago
Robe, un rouge très clair
Au nez, ça pinote tellement, pas de doute c’est du bourgogne tendance cote de nuit. De la fraise, framboise. A posteriori un peu animal
En bouche, le vin est énorme de puissance, très large, carré. Une année solaire, la sensation d’alcool est bien là. Je pars sur 2005 ou 2009.
Pas de boisé, bcp de race dans ce vin même si la matière est vraiment épaisse. Là, je sens que c’est un infanticide, c’est 2009
Quel terroir peut donner des vins avec une telle carrure, on n’est pas sur vosne alors sur chambertin, ruchottes….

🇫🇷 Et enfin, hier soir, on nous a servi en dégustation à l'aveugle un Bourgogne Aligoté. La plus petite des Appellatios... mais dans ce cas capable d'exprimer tous l'essence des grands vins de Bourgogne ❤️ La grandeur de Lalou Bize Leroy
🇮🇹 ieri sera ci è stato servito alla cieca un Bourgogne Aligoté. L'ultima delle Appellations borgognone, che nel caso specifico è stata in grado di esprimere tutta l'essenza dei grandi vini di Borgogna.

Friday night, what should I pick up at the neighborhood PCC? Why, this little Languedoc red blend, and on sale? Well, ok then! This bottle is 40% Grenache, 30% Carignan, 30% Syrah from the Corbières-Boutenac AOC, with the Boutenac terroir receiving AOC status in 2005. The wine region is in the south of France, nestled between the Mediterranean and the Spanish border with 95% of the wine coming out of Languedoc, and Corbières especially, being red wine. This specific winery has been operating since 1987, with grapes growing on and off on their farms since Roman times. The bottle has a sticker that indicates a gold medal place in the 2016 Concours des Grands Vins de France à Macon - not sure I'm on board with that, however paired with a rich spinach risotto with crispy leaks, it served its purpose nicely. ~$17 | #languedoc #corbieres #redblend
On the eyes: Deep, concentrated, ruby red, med stain, med tears, no gas/floc.
On the nose: Burnt orange peel, red plum, raspberry, bit of vanilla, nutmeg. Med alcohol.
On the tongue: Med+ tannin, med+ acid, med alcohol, med body, a bit chewy. Bright raspberry, ripe plum, a bit of tobacco, a bit peppery, good mineralty. Not much of a finish - but quite pleasant with food. Decant and let it open! — 8 years ago

What can I say? Even the cheapest DRC is a notch above everything else. Velvet texture, good acid, century long aftertaste. 1996 was a great vintage in Bourgogne, and this was a great 96! . 96/100 — 12 years ago

Yes!!! Un des grands vins du week-end. Malgré le petit millésime, le vin est profond et élégant à la fois, sur les fruits rouges, un peu de torréfié. Vivement les prochains... — 7 years ago
