Savigny-les-Beaune Pinot Noir 2017

Really a wonderful Burgundy for the always reliable (and now quite pricey) Bize. This 17 Savigny is in a great spot. High toned, balanced, refreshing acids, good mix of earth and fruit. Perfect pairing with the classic Sunday roast chicken with mushrooms. Tonight drinking better and more enjoyable than the several premier crus we have enjoyed from him in the past few years. — 3 years ago

Love Bize. Definitely seems like the premier crus need significant time

Chablis Premier Cru Chardonnay 2016

The integration is expert and so elegant. This is not steely laser lemon. It’s weighted, lush, expressive - with almost certain time in used oak (unconfirmed).

Apricot, pear, quince, baking spice.

Your notes are spot on with this wine (as usual). Full bodied, Chablis flavors with some extra all dialed up to a 10.

Chaos Cahors Red Blend

It’s good in terms of character, nice balance, but it’s not as substantial as it should be, it could’ve more depth and body. Sort of disappears a little too soon. At the same time I did enjoy it. Def worth a try — 5 years ago

Still in a very good place at at 30+ years of age. A bit of petrol on the nose but still an abundance of fruit. — 6 years ago

Very nice tannin for a biological wine - helps you wash your mouth filled with rib roast and potatoes. Enjoyed the marriage a lot. — 8 years ago

Pretty average all around. I had higher expectations, but they weren’t fulfilled. I have had no luck with higher priced white wines. Maybe I’m just drinking excellent value lower priced ones, because I find them much better! — 6 years ago

This is one of the very best bottles of Chablis I’ve had. Intensely pleasing. Amped up. Everything I love about white wine. I am really sad that I only had one bottle but thrilled I got to experience it at its peak. — 7 years ago

Les Serpentières Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2007

Lingering taste that I can’t place. Bottle kept evolving and started out tired and then woke up and got it going! Savory finish that was tired and awake at the same time. — 8 years ago
