La Chapelle De Bages

Domaine Lafouge (Jean et Gilles Lafouge)

La Chapelle Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2012

This is a silkier, more elegant vintage of the Chapelle, at least relative to the 2010, which was really in my zone, as well as the 2009, which I found over-the-top, but in both cases I think there was more stuffing there than here. This would've shown better if I'd opened it with white meat or even fish or something else where a lightweight presence and loose-knit structure is called for. It's an excellent wine in that idiom but lacks some of the solidity and grip it has offered in other years. It's not imbalanced at all, and the trademark stony mineral flavors are still here, it's just a slimmer version of its usual self. — 11 years ago

Paul Chapelle

Gravières Santenay 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Earth, sweet strawberry, floral, leather, clove, acid keeps it fresh tasting, light in texture. I would drink up — 11 years ago

1999 vintage. Elegant to the bone. Pair it with grilled argentine sweetbreads. Cheers! — 12 years ago

Great value - citrusy acid w/ black pepper finish like a salpimentado! — 11 years ago

Chapelle St. Theodoric

La Guigasse Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache 2009

Soy, white pepper, aircraft carrier of big plum jam and cranberry, a touch of heat on the finish, gentle allusions to leather, long way to go but good juice — 12 years ago
