2022-3 winter. The previous bottle of this I had felt like the most overripe and in-Burgundy-like 2018 I’d tried, and by some margin. I figured some time might help, but have a growing suspicion that my cellar is too cold to really mature wines without multiple decades of wait. So…experiment time. I stored this for a couple of years in the basement but outside the cellar. It’s not a textbook environment, at least for the summer months. Lo and behold, this had loosened up a fair bit, with more expressiveness on the nose too. It was still riper and heavier than it needed to be but was good. Would it have been better with 30 years at 14 degrees? Perhaps, but it’s a near-academic question for me given the prices of burgundy these days. — 3 years ago

Grapefuit, buttery, nice with a watercress soup I had at the French restaurant where I found it. Could be a little brighter but all in all not bad. — 10 years ago

Drank 2/19/18. Paired with roasted chicken.

The nose of sweet stewed plums and red berries is quite expressive. Still present, but mild, well integrated tannins lend structure to cassis and earth flavors. Medium finish. This could go a few more years, but is in a sweet spot now. I dont think it will improve further, so drink now. Fully mature.

4/22/8/4/3 + 50 = 91 pts.

Thanks @JT for a great bottle. — 8 years ago

Pop and pour yesterday. Better than I remember my last btl being. On the nose: musty mulberry, vanilla, spice, rose. On the palate: good acidity, lovely density and weight...black pepper, mulberry and blackberry. Soft, finely grained tannin on the finish. Yum. — 5 years ago

Nose has white pepper, spruce needles, cedar shavings, fresh cherry and mashed black currant.

Palate has pepper dusted mashed cherry, tart blueberry, black cherry, (light) limestone dust and (light) new oak. Medium levels of acidity/tannin help this wine to be very soft and enjoyable.

100% Pineau d’Aunis from 125 year old vines; maceration in barrels and amphoras, then barrel aged for one year. — 7 years ago

Love it. Still a little co2 on day 2. A little funky and super light. 90 gamay from Loire 10 poulsard. Beguet is becoming a new fav producer. Chambers wins again. Reminds me of ganevats many Vdfs but less than half the price. — 8 years ago
