La Grande Côte

Domaine Leflaive

Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay 2012

Medium light lemon yellow colour . This is quite reserved and closed , quite a difference from the incorrect Pucelles . Quite mineral , chalky and stony , touch of struck match , white flowers , some lemon pith , focused and detailed , with the freshness the Pucelles lacked. On the palate this is denser and richer than the nose suggests with lemon peel , touch of white peach , chalky and mineral , excellent extract and good freshness . Quite long rich and intense but still really well balanced finish . This needs more time , I would leave this another 3-5 years and will last well a further 10 years . — 2 months ago

Brune et Blonde de Guigal Côte-Rotie Syrah 2005

Still displaying the youth and vitality of a much younger wine, its black fruit appearance is dark and dense, the confirming perfumed aromatics and dark fruit flavors are still quite primary, and its structure is solid with ample fruit, light acidity, and supporting, chalky tannins at the long mouth coating finish. Definitely in its Golden Years. (Should be ideal with tonight’s Soy marinated Rack of Lsmb.)

Domaine Georges Roumier

Chambolle-Musigny Pinot Noir 2022

Medium dark rubi robe, nose of dark cherries, spices and a hit of cloves and flowers. Oh so good in the mouth, medium bodied, complex, flowery and with some vanilla from the barriques. Fantastic. Roumier has gotten better over the years. — 2 months ago

Delamotte

Le Mesnil-Sur-Oger Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne

Pale golden yellow.
Hazel nutty, brioche and yeasty. Beautiful crispness, acidity and mouthfeel.
I can’t afford Salon everyday but I will drink Delamotte as often as possible.

I like that - a bit of dark fruit and a nice racy finish. Simple but effective, paired with bread and butter. — 7 years ago

Cuvée de Réserve Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

Crisp, citrusy and with great acidity and freshness. This is one of the best and finest blanc de blancs from an independent grower we know: Rodolphe Peters does truly great champagne. — 2 months ago

Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus Grèves Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2009

Just a lovely burgundy. At 15+ years this has evened out. Not overly distinctive in any one register, and actually the tannins are definitely still present. But light on its feet with good depth and acid. — 3 months ago
