Just a little something something to prep my palate before the Festivities began! Solid Chardonnay but I expected more.
On the fun side!: Blind tasting three wines tonight with friends: 2013 Beau Vigne Estate, 2014 Becklyn Reserve & 2013 Morlet Coeur de Vallee. Can't wait to dig in to those 3 bad boys!!! — 7 years ago

Great, but a baby. Accessible now, but only hinting at the complexities to come - not going to kick it off the table, but its best years are still to come. Beautiful Volnay fruit. Thanks @Evan Vallee ! — 8 years ago

Light yellow golden color and white stone fruits with hints of oil and salinity carrying through to acidic biting palate with lively if not elegant texture and good length. Surprised to see on back label as 100% Chardonnay which in retrospect makes sense. Excellent. Checked list, was GL 2010 13.6 value, only two bottles with one gone to Maria/Ali so no more! Also two of same from Haute Vallee instead of Oceanique which hopefully still in stash. Made exactly the same way but from district vineyard terroir. Too bad can’t make direct comparison. — 4 years ago

Laser beam to my Chardonnay pleasure center. Such focused orchard fruit, flint and sappiness , with a hint of salinity. Reductive (surprise!) upon opening, much more giving with a couple hours in the decanter. Every time I question the QPR of white Burgundy, Roulot reels me back in. Thanks, @Evan Vallee. I need a winning lotto ticket or something... — 8 years ago

10 years on lees. Rich and creamy style of champagne with stewed nectarine and lemon curd. Super fine bubbles, a very intense pleasure to drink, the kind you never want to end. 2001 vintage is a 70% Pinot Meunier and 30% Chardonnay. Vallee de la Marne. Exquisite. — 8 years ago

Wasn't feeling this freshly opened...a day later something works. Vallee d'aoste comes screaming through. Herby and meaty, fresh tomato and savory greens...weighty but energetic. — 8 years ago

@Mike R @David L @Joe Lucca @Ron R @Paul T The WOTN was a beauty so generously given to me by my Bud Paul Treadway! Thanks Paul!!! The tasting notes between the Beau Vigne Estate and Morlet's Coeur de Vallee are eerily similar. The true differentiation between the 2 is Morlet's seem less integration at this time. My buddy Kirk @Kirk Alexander always says "The test of a great wine is when nothing jumps out at you". This particular bottle did just that. Every person this evening commented on the fact that it was such a superbly balanced wine. It was dialed back ever so slightly in all the right spots for it to dance on your palate effortlessly.
Thank you Paul for a stellar bottle!!
It was enjoyed by friends outdoors on this beautiful S FL cool night. What else could one ask for?

This 09 Aubaine is extremely fresh with great acid. Score is based on potential for this brawny but balanced beauty. Should be even better in a few years. — 8 years ago
