The Lord Of The Rings

Jacques Selosse

Initial Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay

Disgorged 2011. Everything you could imagine in a white wine besides oxidation. Tropical fruits, citrus fruits, toast, bread, caramel, butter, pastries, cream, salt. You name it and it's here with the bubbles to top it off. The aroma is intoxicating, the flavor is gripping. The finish reminded me of the last guiberteau breze clos de carmes I had ; lemon meringue with a resonating and smooth attack lasting seemingly forever for juice. Good lord yes 💦 — 10 years ago

Dear Lord! Nice descriptors.

McCormick Ranch Carignan 2012

This has got to be the most refreshing red wine I ever had...with jamet CdR trailing shortly behind. No minerals here for contemplation but lord am I high on acid right now! This one's all about the judicious decisions very obviously made by the winemaker here to extract intensely on what most would consider grapes just barely hitting ripeness. Clocking in at a whopping 12% alcohol I could drink this all day everyday. Ultra clean strawberry dark cherry lemonade this one. Highly pleasurable and highly unique. Ate it with just about everything in my pantry just for fun and all of it worked. Definite recommendation. Another one up for american winemakers 👍👌 — 11 years ago

Good lord I could drink this all day. Low alcohol sparking Riesling from Erdener. Four brothers work together to keep the history of their family winemaking alive. Bright, nice minerality, easy to drink (trocken not Brut). Best bang for your buck! — 12 years ago

Wow. Hello! Unbelievable complex flavors- beeswax, citrus, ethereal trace of Manzanilla Sherry. Lord what else? Oh yes, 4000 feet elevation, pre-phylloxera, limited sulphur. Crazy good! Nice pick Chris! — 11 years ago

Clos Les Montys Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine 2013

Maybe I've been a bit to exclamatory lately but my lord is this delicious. Perfectly crispy, salty, textured, and fruity. Smells like a Sauv Blanc but tastes like a mix of Grüner and Riesling. Fantastic juice! — 11 years ago

Good lord. All you could want from some pretty, floral Mountain Nebbiolo with almost 20 years of age. Fresh as fresh can be. — 11 years ago
