This was the white tasting of the day at Yangarra. On the nose, tropical fruits, melon and the softest most delicate yellow florals. Creamy month entry that is extremely elegant, nuts, powdery soft minerality, pineapple, peach, melon, citrus blend, beautiful yellow soft florals, high acidity yet mellow. Creamy style as the wine spent some extra time on lees. — 8 years ago

• 2014 Sauvignon Blanc Saint Bris "Mont Embrasé"
• Domaine J.L & J.C. Bersan
• Saint-Bris-les-Vineux
• Burgund
Die AOC Saint Bris grenzt südwestlich an Chablis und ist die einzige Appellation des #Burgund in der Sauvignon Blanc angebaut wird.
Vom sortentypischen Duft des SB bei dem sich die Geister scheiden, ist in der Nase überhaupt nichts wahrzunehmen. Dafür Honig, Zitronenschale und nasser Kies. Schon im Duft sehr mineralisch, karg und nicht auf Frucht gebaut.
Am Gaumen zeigen sich dann in erster Linie eine kristalline Säureader und ein salziger Kern die dem Wein von vorne herein jegliches Übergewicht absprechen. Kein Gramm Fett, nur Haut und Knochen. Sehr durchtrainiert, karg, mundwässernd und niemals sättigend. Dahinter dann ein gelber Fruchtschmelz, etwas Minze, Geschälter Apfel und die immer wieder aufblitzende Salzzitrone die den Gaumen vollständig auskleiden und auch noch lange nach dem Schlucken präsent sind. — 9 years ago
was on the thin side at first but evolved over an hour or two. last glass was heavenly- nice nose and fruit really became expressive. I would let breath in glass for a while. — 10 years ago

Fresh but full, lovely Saint-Aubin Chardonnay that will pair perfectly with the fried goat cheese (fried cheese...cannot go wrong.) — 9 years ago

Dinner was delish! Oak, vanilla, golden crisp apple, long finish. Paired with the best shrimp remoulade I've had! — 10 years ago
Awesome wine. Drink on its own or even stands up to meat. Courtesy of Alex Roux. Marbella, Spain. August 2013. — 10 years ago
2008. The purest vougeot I ve encountered so far. Less expressive organic strawberry nose. No black fruit detected. Palate is a drawback due to the vintage? Watery at mid palate, stingy at the back but really vivid. A fantastic vougeot. Buy. — 11 years ago
This is a wine nerd's wine. Smells of a dark blond roux. Floral yet mellow. Not huge on the fruit. Would never pay the money for it, but fun to sip on. — 11 years ago

Pale gold, fresh grassy nose with no after taste. Great champagne under $20 with discount coupon and shipping. — 8 years ago
Excellent body! Had with Laurie, Craig, at Roux on 30a for Katie's birthday. Big flavor bold love it — 9 years ago
This is just really well balanced. It has the acidity and tannins to run. I can't hit this with one description. Right balance. Right fruit, right must, right bite, slow oxing, will update in an hour. This one needs at least 2yrs to be epic. Save. Will be awesome in 3+. — 9 years ago
Banana cream pie, citrus, med acidity, med body. — 10 years ago
This is the 2003. Still needing air to open up, this wine has spice, leather, plum, wet earth, and black fruit on the nose. Palate is earthy and balanced with enough acidity to match up to full-flavored foods. Finish is long. Delicious wine. — 10 years ago
