From a tiny, walled Monopole of the estate. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The Clos du Dessus des Marconnets (Pernot) pours a ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with a mix of tart and ripe mostly red fruit: strawberry, raspberry, cherry, red flowers, green herbs, some forest floor and subtle warm spices. On the palate, wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. A lovely and utterly classic expression of Bourgogne Rouge. Drink now through 2033+. — 2 months ago
Vintage 2021 | I love the impressive smell full of wonderfull red fruit, that expresses itself like a peacock 🦚 tail, really great. After experiencing the smell the taste underperforms imo. It’s a bit small, high bitters > so an dinnerwine. Very interesting wine from 80 y old vines. — 5 months ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of several hours and it needed it. The 2017 Bienvenue Bâtard-Montrachet pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, this was initially quite shy but after a couple of hours, the nose exploded into a veritable cornucopia: apples, pineapple, passion fruit, stone fruit, lemon curd, honeysuckle, flint, gentle warm spices and a mix of limestone minerals and gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long with a chalky texture. A banger. Drink now with patience; better after 2027 and through 2042. — 14 days ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2023 1er Chalumaux pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart orchard and tropical fruit: yellow apple, white peach, orange Cuties®️, pineapple, starfruit, lemon curd, white flowers, slivered almonds, and river rock. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and laden with minerals. Lovely balance. Classic. Drink now through 2043. — 2 months ago
"Odedi"
Light gold in color.
Aromatic nose of flowers, citrus, lemons, apples, earth, herbs and spices.
Full-bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with citrus, limes, green apples, herbs, earth, spices and minerals.
Tangy finish with limes and herbs.
This is a delicious and spicy White blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Complex and interesting.
Showing a surprisingly complex nose for its age. Elegant and nicely balanced.
Still young, but already engaging, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.
This special Cuvée from a great vintage in Southern Rhone, is neither bitter nor tart, and a great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.
A blend of Grenache, Roussanne, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul Blanc and Picard, all from Old Vines. A small production of only 4,000 bottles. Aged for 6 months in used oak barrels.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
