Domaine des Roches Neuves (Thierry Germain)

La Marginale Saumur-Champigny Cabernet Franc 2022

Really an excellent cab franc. Have had stuff from Thierry Germain before but not this bottling. Perfect with a variety of Syrian dishes at Damas in Montreal. Bright, restrained fruit, excellent acid. Nice finish. — a year ago

Domaine Jean-Jacques Girard

Les Belles Filles Pernand-Vergelesses Chardonnay 2018

Chilled this burgundy felt restrained, minimal, and one dimensional. As it opened up though, paired with a delicious bouillabaisse, escargot and the best foie gras I’ve ever had, thus started to really come into its own. Medium body, a refined minerality but with delicious notes of crisp apple, baking spice, and an some richer, pastry like notes on the finish, this wine truly came into its own with some warmth and time. Not too rich, not too dry, a perfect balance of crisp fruit, minerality, and baked richness for shellfish dishes with a tomato base. — 4 years ago

Saumur-Champigny Cabernet Franc

Black currants and tart plum with great acid that unfurls the pencil lead silky texture down the center. Generous nose that evolves continually, that at first seems deceptively simple. — 5 years ago

Excellent Chardonnay - lemon curd, white peach, floral notes on the notes. Acidity is just right and ends in a long complex finish that lingers. — 6 years ago

I always say you have to subtract several points off a JS rating but this one you only have to subtract a couple. This is pretty though: raspberries, jammy, dry and acidic. Balanced. — 4 years ago

Yeah, two points at least, sometimes more.

Les Belles Voyes Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Brut Champagne Chardonnay 2012

Single vineyard "Les Belles Voyes" in the famous Grand Cru hillside of Oger. Pale lemon with fine creamy mousse and tiny rapid bubble flow, long lees aging. aromas stone fruits and blossom, bread dough and citrus. On the palate flavors of golden apple, peach, lemon citrus and honeysuckle with biscuit toast and nutty notes. Long finish, full-body ending with biscuit, mineral and citrus character. Outstanding! — 5 years ago

La Grange aux Belles

Coup de Boule Gamay Grolleau Noir Rosé Blend

Smelled like fresh baked pizza out of the oven at first pour. Continued to give off plenty of funky and herbaceous character for a couple days. So much savory character here backed with bubbles. A unique thing yes — 6 years ago

Cuvée Les Belles Voyes Avize Grand Cru Brut Blanc de Blancs

Wow, so much character and personality in this single vineyard. If I recall correctly there is some oak aging on this. So much depth and flavor: mineral of course but some handsome age quality and balance of sweetness and acidity. Very special. — 7 years ago

Château des Jacques

Roches Noires Morgon Gamay 2006

3 May 2018

Pre-Dinner wine, bought in the Jadot wine shop this morning after our crazy tasting (20) this morning.

Settling in but still bright fruits on the nose, but a barnyard aspect beginning to creep in. Palate still is very sharp, mud covered raspberry/cherry, are the primary notes.

Belles Grives Morgon Gamay 2019

Light-brewed tea, mushroom, fresh rosemary, dark plum and cherry, ripe strawberry on the nose. Subtle notes of white tea, rosemary, strawberry, ripe red cherry, baked button mushrooms on the palate. Nice light Beaujolais with enough weight to stand up to some light meats or hearty pastas. — 2 years ago

Interesting! I tend to like M-a-V less then other crus because the tannic structure many display. Sounds like I’d like this one.
