Mes Favorites Vieilles Vignes Mareuil Sur Ay Champagne Blend

Hebrart: Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. No formal notes. As the name suggests, this is a selection of Jean-Paul’s favorite sites. In this case, old vine sélection massale from: Faubourg d’Enfer, Pruches, Haut Varille, Croix Blanche, Maladrie, Beauregard, Ramonette, Bisson St-Loup, Côtes, and Sente des demoiselles. All 1er cru sites, obviously and roughly 3/4 Pinot Noir with the balance Chardonnay. It’s delicious. In the Hebrart style, this is fresh with loads of bright raspberry fruit, citrus and minerals along with great acid and good bubbles. Drink now through 2037. Disgorged April of 2021 and based off the 2017 vintage. — 7 days ago

Mes Favorites Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2016

Lyle Fass
9.2

Gorgeous aromas. Wow. Floral, meaty and mid to late season red cherries. Pungent! Almost confectionery out of the gates. In such a great spot. So many berries and spice. Woodland berries. 9.6 nose. Ultra glorious. Gorgeous palate if a bit straight with lovely lush cherry fruit and terrific structure and freshness. Tannins a bit firm on the finish but air will resolve that I suspect. Good concentration as well and lift. Really good acids. Let’s see what air does to this. Palate fleshes out but still some unresolved tannin. Not sure if it will go away. Well made but also boring. With air this regressed to a 9.2 from a 9.4. — 7 months ago

Kanzler

Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2019

A blend from (57%) Estate fruit, and a sizable portion (18%) Mes Filles Vineyard. Medium Ruby color, purple edges, with aromas of ripe fruits, floral and complex spice. On the palate concentrated flavors of raspberry, plum and currants with pepper, tea, herbs, cinnamon and oak, soft tannins on well balanced structure. Full body, long finish, ending with spice, ripe fruit and warm woody tones. Very Nice! — a year ago
