Domaine de Beudon

Riesling x Sylvaner 2007

14-year old Müller-Thurgau. Apricot on the nose. Palate is low acid, chewy stone fruit and a slug of diesel. Bitter almond, citrus oil. Love these wines. — 3 years ago

Le Petit Pinot Blanc Chardonnay 2017

Nose is floral with integrated richness. Expansive. As this opens you get the godspice. So penetrating and expansive. Elegantly rich. Mountain air infused with Chardonnay. Ocean air. Bit in a good way. Like you are watching the sunset on a cliff with a light breeze.

Palate is lovely rich fruit. Delicious. Good minerality. Almost a mountain meursault feel. Terrific crunchy acids as this opens. Oyster shells

Still a hint of oak. Should dissipate in 6-12 months.

Man this is a beautiful wine. It’s its own thang. Nothing exactly like it. Could be a higher score in 2 years.

Bought from fass selections.

Clean pear nose.
Quaffably pleasant.
Enough acid to pair with light fare.
Can be enjoyed on its own too.

Le Grand Pinot Noir 2016

Lyle Fass
9.6

One of the best Swiss Pinot Noirs. Just a stunning stunning example. Nose is all woodland berries, mountain spice, insane florals and sweet herbals and unreal mountain cherry. So alpine and floral. Captivating and enveloping aromas. Plum skin as well that is so so fine. Stunning purity, breadth and detail the nose. Enchanted forest floor aromas. Keeps changing and changing. Just stunning. 9.6 or 9.7 on the nose. Smell like Grand Cru Burgundy. ZOMG the palate. Insane fruit and sweetness. So sweet and so intense. Wow. Mid to late season red and black cherries. Just so elegant and pure. Suave and chewy but silken tannins and impossible length. Just sickness. So long. Endless. Sappy and noble. There is a very serious and substantial structure here. This is truly amazing wine. Better than the 15. Needs air and I’ll be back. 9.6 for now.

After air the texture on this is truly stunning. So velvety. Amazing sweetened and no hard edges. Nose has so much Burgundian sous bous now and really is in Clos Vougeot territory. Brilliant. An elite wine. This is very close to a 9.7 but not quite. Only age is holding it back now.

Sounds like a great wine. Although technically really in Baden and not the Alps. As you know Riehen is across the Rhine - one of the enclaves of Switzerland 🇨🇭 on the ‘wrong side of the border on the ‘Hochrhein’ next to Basel.
