2019 vintage. Excellent white Burgundy value with both splendid body and acidity. Don’t be afraid to plunge into the unfamiliarity of Pernand-Vergelesses now. With white Burg prices escalating as they have been, P-V will be priced at Chassagne/Puligny/Meursault levels soon enuff. Get in and get familiar now. — 3 years ago

N: Very grassy, stony, a hint of pineapple coming through.Mineral, almost the beachyness* of Chablis or…Manzanilla.
P: Subdued Green apple, crunchy, some salt, Interesting wood on the palate from combination of French & Oregonian oak.
It’s there, but not interfering. No but-tah.
Delicious, snappy, refreshing.

2nd wine with creamy garlic shrimp. This also showed very well. It was slightly more opulent than the 2014 Louis Michel 1er Monte de Tonnere, but similar. — 4 years ago

The 2017 Hosanna was one of my favourite crus from Ets J-P Moueix from barrel. Now in bottle, it remains a delightful Pomerol. It has a generous and beautifully defined bouquet with ample red cherry, crushed strawberry and light black truffle aromas that are actually reminiscent of Bélair-Monange. The palate is medium-bodied but denser, thicker than its peers. There is real substance to this Hosanna that puts the relatively lightweight Certan-de-May in its place. It shows good grip with a saline finish. This is a deeply impressive Hosanna. Rejoice! (Neal Martin, Vinous, February 2020)

Exceptional cognac. I have had Louis XIII and this is comparable. Made by the same house (and served in the same glass). This is a cognac for people that love cognac, refined and delicate with a strong backbone. Beautiful! — 6 years ago

The 2020 Chablis Vaillons 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet with hints of peach skin, undergrowth and resin scents, becoming more floral with aeration. The palate is well balanced with a fine thread of acidity, quite tensile with a touch of dried honey emerging towards the finish, reflecting that warm summer. Very fine. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis. (Neal Martin, Vinous, September 2022)

Infanticide!
But…there it was. It sang it’s siren song.
N: Big , beefy, dirty red beet, musky black cherries. Smoke and tar.
P: Black cherries, blood, iron, earth, dirt,
It’s said the Coté du Py Gamay vines are 100 years +. It shows. A knockout structured Beaujolais that’s always a fave. Delicious, if I was 40, I’d make plans to stash some away for 20 years.
A bit saved, day two, blacker and more tannic.
To quote Romain..” I love it.”!!!

Decanted 3 hrs/Chilled 45min.
N: Dried honey,Apples, pears, butterscotch, pink grapefruit, mineral, Big nose that jumps out of the glass.
P: completely dry but tangy as all get out. Lots of grapefruit surrounded by rocks, prickly. mouth filling at the same time. Impression of fatness. Green, very refreshing. If one had the patience to lay some down….oh my. Raised at least partly in native Oregonian oak, that Martin Woods coopers. Not a trace on the wine.

Vintage 2016 | This wine developed itself fine with a few years cellar. Expressive cassis, decanted three hours, afterwards very good drinking with a good structure. Pierre Ardoin - a oenologist at the Bordeaux university - makes this wine with a wink to its more reputed colleague vintners on the other side of the Gironde river. | paired with bbq, incredible good p/q. — 3 years ago

N: smashed strawberries, tobacco, licorice, mascarello cherries, dirt,
P: Nice tannic grip, Black cherries, lots of earth, a buoyant frame, definitely concrete and old fourdes. I’m so glad to have found this. As Louis/Dressner says, if you know all the grapes they grow, you’re probably a master of wine. — 3 years ago
