Clos Florentin Saint-Joseph Syrah 2016

Needs time. Complex, intense, and densely packed... this isn’t showing everything it’s got yet. Some herbaceous notes and a more mineral as opposed to juicy quality. Hold — 6 years ago

Domaine De La Grand'Cour (Jean-Louis Dutraive)

Fleurie Gamay 2016

About Beaujolais and Burgundy, The Wine Bible says “Even the spirit of each place is Singular. Beaujolais is fruit and joy; Burgundy is earth and solemnity.” #FunReadingTheWineBible. Floral, fruit and hints of spice on the nose. Fresh fruit taste; acidity a bit overpowering, but balances out with soft read fruits (strawberry?) — 7 years ago

Cristal Brut Champagne Chardonnay Pinot Noir Blend 2002

As stately as I expected it to be (can one really expect anything less of a wine as legendary as Cristal in one of Champagne's most celebrated vintages?) glinting pale gold, the color of a freshly-minted coin. The 2002 Champagne Cristal Brut Millésimé is imbued with soaring notes of pear and smoke, brioche and chalk. Disgorged in 2009, this is a precise wine—it has a sort of crystalline weightless density, with fruit buoyed by a fine mousse, and edgy saline-tinged minerality emerging at the close. 10 grams dosage.

"You must be as precise as a Swiss watchmaker, I tell my team," our host, M. Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon, Chef de Caves at Roederer stressed. Precision in spades.

Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Brouilly Gamay 2016

Very nice, especially from a price to quality perspective. Lighter red in the glass, but at a cool cellar temp this is already quite expressive. Mouth filling, peppery, long finish, great acid, just a bit of tannins on the finish. Excellent with a nice country pate at Bar Boulud. — 8 years ago

Farconnet Hermitage Syrah 2011

Sneaky ripe for an Hermitage. A lot of fruit right out of the gate, but as it warms/breathes...The classic tar, meat and leather starts to emerge. What a wine — 8 years ago

Cuvée Vielles Vignes Brouilly Gamay 2009

2009. Some rich cherry liqueur from the vintage, some interesting cut grass notes in the palate along with big time fruit. Nose gives up a lot of leather--goes in different directions like Bordeaux or aged Portuguese reds with Touriga Nacional. Quite nice! — 9 years ago

Bourgogne Grand Ordinaire Gamay Pinot Noir 2012

This is my first Burgundy (so that skews the rating) but it's omg delicious. Nose is all candied cherries and spice. Tastes goes from fruit, to pepper, to a soft gamey flavor. Delicate and watery on finish. Hubby who likes intense, dark wine and beer says, " I like it because it has flavors." — 10 years ago
