The Wine Society

The Society's Exhibition Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Do not let the fact that this wine is not labelled under a particular chateau put you off from
considering this. The fruit was selected from J P Mouix’s estates in Pomerol and blended solely for the society. Anything that gives you access to those grapes and that expertise in such a fabulous vintage should be considered. In comparison to other Pomerol offerings from this year, the society’s newly released Pomerol 2010 is outrageously cheap or perhaps just a fairness of price that has disappeared from the general market place (Wine Society is non-profit and run for its members since 1874).

The wine from the first sip widens the eyes with its opulent and generous style. Voluptuously full bodied, deep dark gorgeously scented fruit, bringing to mind a bowl of boosie framboise and dark berries, fine grained tannins that grip the palate whilst the overall mouthfeel is silky smooth. This culminates in a long and sexy dark chocolate finish (as promised by the society). There is alcohol but the weight of flavours is in balance.

This is begging you to consume with food and the flavour with beef or game is divine; this wine can stand up to and improve almost anything, I suspect that the pairing will be more about the food’s flavour not being devoured by the wine and simply becoming a vehicle for the wine....although if you are drinking this wine the food may well become of lesser interest in its own right. Perfect for the winter weather, I imagine arriving home through the snow to a hearty meal of venison pie by the light of a fire and reaching in the low reflective light for the decanter shimmering with this inside.

I decanted this wine in a wide based carafe 40 mins before drinking and I feel that this is a real must right now to get the best from this wine, it is approachable and exceptionally enjoyable right now but you just now the next few years are going to add extra layers of complexity to this powerful and exciting wine...just so hard to resist at the moment; maybe a couple of cases for the cellar will help ensure that a few bottles are still around in 18 months time. Chapeau JPM and the wine society. 92-93+pts.

Incredible wine. Fruitiness was perfect tannins were smooth, acidity was balanced. This went perfect with pernil. Bought at P&J. — 7 years ago

Ployez-Jacquemart

Extra Brut Vintage Blanc de Blancs Champagne 2008

it must be the combo of P-J vinification and 08 fruit but it’s a fabulous quaff with pure beautiful Chardonnay fruit—lots of adjectives to throw at it but the finesse and structure made it a drink punching above its price point and well worth cellaring. I am impressed. Bought it when visiting in Champagne at the house. And bought more today before posting this. — 7 years ago

Grain & Granit Régnié Gamay 2010

80+ year vines on a very small parcel from the son of J-P Thevenet. This was kind of our encore wine at Untitled, so I don't have as many specific notes as I would like, but I would certainly pick this wine out again on a list or in a store. Nice to try a 2010 also! — 9 years ago
