Clos des Briords Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Muscadet Sèvre & Maine Sur Lie Melon de Bourgogne 2020

Lovely nose of fresh see breeze, shell fish and blossom. Palate of intense lemon, crème fraiche, hay and again oysters. Very mineral driven finish. Wine improves with air and slightly higher temps. — 2 years ago

Domaine Henri Boillot

Clos de la Mouchère Monopole Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2015

Un nez magnifique, incroyable, tellement fin, élégant tout en étant tellement expressif, la bouche a une attaque très ronde, elle est puissante et riche, mais aussi équilibrée, superbe maintenant mais grand vin en devenir. 93-94

Magnificent and gorgeous nose, elegant and classy, layers of white fruit, stony and mineral, the palate is rich, full, intense, yet so classy and balanced, very long finish, great now and with a bright future ahead of it.

von der Fels Rheinhessen Riesling 2018

Fruit, mineral, rich texture with a tempting acidity - nobody does this seemingly contradictory combination as well as Keller. All the things for all times. — 6 years ago

Les Clos Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 1996

Lovely rock pool, lime, stone. On the palate great balance. Lean and salty mineral fruit. Light floral notes and a wonderfully complex, long finish. In a perfect place. — 7 years ago

This still was beautiful- but the 04 had storm clouds on the horizon. It’s a bottle by bottle crapshoot when they get beyond 10 years

If they didn’t have that issue I think they’d be much more recognized as a great wine. Raveneau are the greatest but also, I think, their reputation has soared because of the lack of premox

Mölsheim Riesling 2020

Meyer lemons, very light yellow peaches, apples, .
Intensely mineral on the palate.
Lots of yellow flowers, soft. Expansive.
Nice companion to a red curry rice bowl.
Delicious stuff. Definitely bigger and richer palate as it airs/warms.

Trimbach

Cuvée Frédéric Emile Alsace Riesling 2011

Good price at warehouse so I snagged one for wiener schnitzel dinner w/ cateloupe, prosciutto, radicchio &fig salad. Opened to give it a lot of air. Cream soda dum dum, Fuji apple, hint of gasoline but not a lot. Goes onto a grapefruit/citrus thing and a nice cream soda finish. Mineral and wonderfully acidic. Need to find older bottles! — 4 years ago

Pierre Péters

Cuvée de Réserve Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

Had this over a year ago, this is a new batch, a Fav! Rodolphe Péters took over the reins of this venerable estate in the southern Côte des Blancs in 2008, becoming the fourth generation to lead since the estate was founded in 1919, under the name Camille Péters. 100% Chardonnay, Crisp, fine mousse with steady flow of bubbles. Citrus, and biscuit aromas. Fresh fruit flavors of peach, apples and lemons, smooth and dry. Long mineral finish ending with elegance. Nice! — 6 years ago

Nice wine Ira just needs more time. Not happy with the new pricing as I was offered the 15 & 16 vintage for $200 each. Cheers!

@Ron Siegel Criminal what has gone on pricing wise the last few years. Multiple parties to blame. Granted not much is made but that is not an excuse for that pricing.

Taittinger

Comtes de Champagne Grand Crus Brut Blanc de Blancs 2004

Nice gently nutty and toasty nose. White floral character underneath, lots of intensity but perhaps a bit tight at the moment. Pretty zippy and mineral on palate, more softness of texture to come, but an awesome long creamy but fresh finish. — 10 years ago

No formal notes. Love 2020. So classic and mineral. Huge wet earth nose that developed into a mineral nose with crystalline purity. Palate is round and electric at the same time. Some fruit but more mineral driven — 3 years ago

A classically done wine by a classic producer. This Morgon expression is more on the garden earth/mineral/floral spectrum than the fruit spectrum, which is fine by me. Dense and structured, was singing after an hour in the decanter. — 9 years ago
