Hyde Vineyards Chardonnay

Not a typical California chardonnay - more acidity, less (no) oak, and lower alcohol. Great when you are looking for an old world chardonnay but prefer to support wine makers you know. — 6 years ago

Les Saint-Jacques Rully Chardonnay 2018

2021/4. I feel like de Villaine’s Chardonnays have a bit more depth and savor than they did a decade ago - and they were certainly good then. This was lovely, with lots of fresh fruit and acidity but some sneaky stone, butter and hazelnut lurking. — 5 years ago

La Digoine Côte Chalonnaise Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2019

shockingly hits above its weight with very pretty fruit and texture. It’s really a gorgeous wine, dark plummy fruit in a very elegant package. Tannins augur for a long evolution. Really impressive. — 3 years ago

Les Montots Mercurey Pinot Noir 2005

2020/8/25 with pork and crab gumbo. Forest floor and mushroom notes but also bright red berry fruit and lively acidity, simultaneously light and substantial. De Villaine is always, always lovely, and this bottle also reminded how well good Chalonnaise wine can age. — 5 years ago

One of the best merlot in California. Always a touch confectionary but still varietal correct
