Lucid Wine

Arianna Occhipinti

Terre Siciliane Il Frappato 2018

Enjoyable but priced $15 too steep. At $45 we need deeper complexity and this is delicate but not inspiring.

The nose is soft. Raspberry and candied cherry. The palette is salty and lean - sandy, loamy, lucid.

There’s skill here in the interplay but you’d be nearly as well off with SP68.

Domaine Roulot

Meursault - Bouchères 1er Cru Chardonnay 2010

This is glorious. Oily-textured. Lemon, slate, pear, a beautiful undertow off steel and rich fruit. A really persistent and lucid mid palate of green fruit and great balance and acidity. The Raveneau of meursault. Delicious — 5 years ago

when it’s on, so good. But premox and new pricing remind me of Leflaive. Fortunately I’m still sitting on some.

I’ve been lucky with premox with these. Agreed on the pricing though- you used to be able to afford to buy in quantity, and I’m never really that convinced about whether it’s worth the $ the new owners are now charging. Thank heavens for boillot

Domaine François Raveneau

Butteaux Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2011

A glorious wine. 2011 Raveneau are great. Light, bright, transparent, lucid. An intense rock pool nose with slate, lime, honeysuckle. A touch of grapefruit. Quite light on the palate but very defined and delicious. Not super long on the finish but refreshing and complex. Perfect with the lobster salad. A study in the power of complexity over power and focus over richness. — 6 years ago

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

La Tâche Pinot Noir 1950

A slightly stinky front. Then real deep clarity of raspberry fruit. There’s a gentle luscious center of hauntingly pure aged fruit (dried roses, soft cherry?) leading into the end palate. Really lucid. Delicious. — 6 years ago

Le Clos du Caillou / Domaine du Caillou

Les Quartz Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2014

Lucid, pure Grenache, elegant with soft caressing tannins. Captures the vintage and place so well. Not a complex or beguiling wine but simply beautiful and drinking great right now. Nice to see it unwind some since LBT. Over ripe strawberry confiture, lavender, garrigue, macerated raspberry, warm earth. — 6 years ago

Domaine Roulot

Les Tessons Clos de Mon Plaisir Meursault Chardonnay 2010

Fresh and vivid on the nose. Lime, lemon, honeyed notes, a slatey core. Some of the 2010 sweetness with a bit of tang. Lovely and light and fresh. With time oyster shells and a refreshing salinity but the heft and punch of meursault. Like great Chablis consommé. So deft and lucid. Wonderful. — 7 years ago

While I have not had many bottles of MP, I have come to believe it is quite possibly his best wine year in year out.
