Aux Reignots Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2012

The 2012 Cathiard Aux Reignots (along with Malconsorts and Petits Monts, my favorite 1er cru Vosne vineyard), is much more masculine and dark fruited than the MG. Really a great side by side. There is some reduction and prevalent new oak, but there is just such depth and structure to this wine and it’s destined to live for the long haul. But unlike how reticent many 12’s can be right now, as the reduction dissipates, it offers a great deal of pleasure. Reignots is really a special vineyard. — 4 years ago

Clos du Roy Bourgogne Aligoté 2014

Burgundy tasting at foreign cinema. Reallly great with seafood, there was excellent acidity and some earth flavors. Really liked it but was overshadowed by the Chardonnay. — 4 years ago

Nuits Saint Georges Pinot Noir 2008

Initially heavy on the tart cherry and cola flavors. Over an hour, the acidity mellowed and this became fuller — 5 years ago

Les Auvonnes au Pépé Bourgogne Aligoté 2014

I really enjoyed this. It reminded me more of a village level chard than a Bourgogne Aligoté. Had a nice weight to it and loads of citrus with a piercing minerality. — 6 years ago

Saint-Joseph Roussanne 2018

PnP after a long, successful ballgame.
Big waxy candied citrus, nose, needs some air to coax. Gives the impression of great depth. Clementines. Pears.
P: Very round, mouth filling, very glyceral, lemon skin, ginger. Really develops with air.
Thanks @ FirstBottle

Champ Forey Bourgogne Aligoté 2014

This is magical. You know when a white is really open for business and showing the benefit not detriment of oxidation? This is that. Compelling and mature and probably in its best spot. Started off as a aperitif and became a food wine and something for contemplation too over a few hours. Great work! — 6 years ago
