Les Monts Du Roy

Domaine Guion

Deux Monts Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2010

Beautiful CF from a great vintage. Loads of violets, blackcurrants, berries, savory soil and meaty umami tones, juicy, elegant, long. No need to wait — 8 days ago

Les Monts Damnés Chavignol Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2010

Slightly oxidized. Oily soft lemon. Nice but lacks some of the drive it has in youth — 17 hours ago

Domaine Sylvain Pataille

Clos du Roy Marsannay Pinot Noir 2019

Too bad that more people have discovered the wines of Sylvain Pataille. Still well priced but more competitive to buy them. — 4 months ago

Domaine François Raveneau

Monts Mains Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2018

2018 vintage. Double decanted and tasted after one hour at approx 59-60 degrees. Medium Chablis body. Lilacs, lemon curd, minerals aplenty along with a slightly curious, white pepper, finishing splash. Obviously too soon as this could easily stretch two decades. Saying this as a decided Chablis non-fan but this was arguably the best white (sparkling or flat) I've had in quite a spell. Le woof. 10.25.25. — 8 days ago

Raveneau is always very different from the usual standard Chablis profile

Bernard Dugat-Py

Coeur de Roy Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2009

Medium deep garnet, ruby core with medium light garnet rim . This is quite meaty and deep on the nose , with earthy dark cherry , porcini , sweet blackberry and spiced sous bois . On the palate this is quite severe and serious , darker fruits , ripe blackberry , cherry and hint of blackcurrant, herbal hints. Quite gritty , slightly drying tannins , fresh acidity . Earthy , dusty dark cherry edged finish , ok medium length. Quite ambitious for a village and arguably not ready yet , tannins need a little more time to integrate. From now and over the next 5 years, if not longer . — 2 months ago

@Andrew Cullimore i’m still sitting on my ‘ 05’s from this producer. Stylistically not everyone’s cup of tea..

Yes , I would agree with you there @Ira Schwartz , and no it’s not my preferred style , but it is certainly a well made wine . Based on my experience with 2005 in general , you will probably need to leave your Dugat Py’s another decade !

La Croix du Roy Sancerre Pinot Noir 2018

Cute label. Color is pretty. Smells of the river rocks and berry compote. Hint of smoke. Flavors are juicy and complex. Plenty of minerals. Balance is great. Floral and fresh. — 3 days ago

Ancien Cru du Roy Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2001

Prachtige Sauternes. Deze jaargang is geweldig, met een heerlijke balans door de mooie zuren. Waar ik over het algemeen geen groot fan ben van Sauternes, heb ik hier ontzettend van genoten! Gedronken om onze eerste plaats te vieren voor het NK blindproeven. — 2 months ago

La Côte des Monts Damnés Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2018

I've had worse! But 2017 edges this one out slightly. This 2018 is less complex, but shows pleasant flavors of green apple, melon, grass... a stiffer finish than previous vintages.
