La Côte des Monts Damnés Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Last had this 10 months ago. I think it's on the decline since then. Grapefruit, melon, citrus. Lacking acidity, it's a bit flabby. That's not what I remember in the last bottle. Anyway, it's nice with some fresh caught walleye.

Seems logical. Haven’t had this one unfortunately but 18s there were mostly too ripe and fleshy to age. But many were fun in their youth! Walleye! Think I’ve had that only once (had to give a presentation in Sturgeon Bay) a few years ago.

Les Monts Damnés Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2024 “Les Monts Damés” pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with white flowers, grapefruit, star fruit, alfalfa, and cream cheese stuffed poblano pepper. There’s also this Double Bubble thing going on. Wild stuff. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. In a world of increasing ambiguity, I love that this is immediately identifiable as Sancerre. Drink now through 2034+. — 5 months ago

Two Monts Damnees in a row! Good week!

Domaine Georges Noëllat

Les Beaux Monts Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2016

Initially quite reduced and aromatically closed but eventually opens up to reveal its Vosne perfume. The palate is impeccable though, with excellent density and richness, succulent fruit and acids and a long saline-mineral finish. — 7 months ago

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

Certainly not as rare as the Ponsot’s Clos des Monts Luisants, but as soon as I saw this on the wine list at reasonable price, I knew this was what I wanted to order.

The nose opens with lemon oil, white peach, crushed stones, and subtle hazelnut. The palate is supple yet lively, with vibrant acidity framing ripe orchard fruit and a cool, chalk-driven core. A faint floral note and gentle oak spice add complexity. Elegant with refined balance.

After a couple hours in a glass this opens up with beautiful vosne fruit. Sour cherries, licorice, black pepper, wild strawberries. Supple tannin that still seems to scream more time needed. Good stuff. Incredible QPR. — 4 years ago

Better than you can imagine if you have had. Creamy, just a touch of butter, understated caramel, hint of toffee, round acidity with length & balance for days. — 4 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.
