Les Cras Macon La Roche-Vineuse Chardonnay 2021

2024/8/27. Merlin’s Cras is known (or at least noted by Jasper Morris) as being long-lived, and I’ve enjoyed bottles at 10 years. (I’d like to try older vintages…) But this is lovely now as well - perhaps it’s the vintage, but there’s a focus reminiscent of Chablis paired with Southern richness. Cool lemon, stone and custard on the nose, acid, mineral and fruity body in balance on the palate. — 8 months ago

Pretty red fruit with bright acidity. And some drying tannins. It’s great. 2020. — a year ago

Like Chassagne, the reds from Meursault are a rare treat stateside.

Clos de L'Échelier Dampierre Sur Loire Saumur Champigny Cabernet Franc 2019

9.6

Glorious. Delightfully floral, fruity, typical cab franc notes. Touches of cocoa, toasted almond, herbs, and a real soulful tartness. Truly a wine of balance, with all the complexity of the grape but also delicious now. This will evolve I’m sure but hard to beat how it is today. — 2 years ago

Wonderful, beautiful Pinot from the Chablis region. Drinks like a cooler region Pinot - fruity, light-med body, smooth, low-med tannins, nice acid. Could age a bit longer still. — 4 years ago

I don’t drink much Bordeaux, not sure why. Maybe the choices are a bit overwhelming for me 🤷‍♀️ this one is medium bodied, has smooth tannins, not much fruit. — 4 years ago

@Sharon B same..my first Bordeaux ( many years ago) tasted like Band-Aids gone really bad. I do have a Lynch Bages 2016 in waiting. BUT most people do not touch this wine for 20 yrs +. Not sure how well I will enjoy that at age 75!! As I contemplate my wine purchases over time...!

@Dawn E. I had no idea! 20 years??? I don’t know if I’ve even seen one that old 🤷‍♀️

Dawn E.

@Sharon B Not all, some are just best to wait that long! Not sure what I was thinking when I purchased it! X 🤷‍♀️
