Les Monts Du Roy

Roy Piper

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Great fruit even at this age. The only issue I had besides the slight bell pepper is how rough the tannins were and the coconut on the nose. American oak? Not something i’d think Roy would use. — 8 months ago

Domaine Antonin Guyon

Clos du Roy Corton Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2018

Flash tasting; no formal notes. The 2018 “Clos du Roy” is a light ruby and showing deeper, darker fruit and more structure than the 2019 “Clos de Chênes” (as it should). Balanced. The finish is also longer and slightly more powerful than the Volnay. Better after 2028 — 2 years ago

Great lineup & dinner with Louis Michel. He showcased his amazing wines in what he termed were difficult vintages. — 9 months ago

"Coeur de Roy" Tres Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2000

Still showing a lot of tannic and acidic structure, but enough fruit to keep it in check once it had a few hours of air, youthful still, and brawny. — a year ago

Domaine Bertagna

Les Beaux Monts Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Pinot Noir

Good, not great at all. Tannins are off the charts and overwhelm the fruit. I’ll revisit tomorrow to see how or if it has softened. Must be tons of stem in here, good for aging but distracting and a bit disappointing. — 4 years ago

Monts Damnés Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2010

Rounded and quite plush on the nose. A little whiff of age… rounded and still quite fresh. Lacks the cut of the younger wines — 7 months ago

I haven’t tried a bad ‘petits Monts’ Drouhin may be the best but lookout for mugneret too. I need to try to Louis latour just to see if they’re on point as well

@Alex Lallos completely agree on Mugneret. Incredible depth and completeness there.
