Fruity aroma, hint of spice and oak, light and frothy, smooth enough to pair nicely with lobster! — 7 months ago

Vieilles Vignes Chambolle-Musigny Pinot Noir 2021

I thought this was solid and paired well with the moussaka for dinner

Really good acidity. Some raspberry flavor and earthy notes. Responded well to salt.

Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2018

The 2018 “Clos de la Roche” pours a deep ruby/purple color with medium viscosity and light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is youthful and shows a combination of tart and ripe red and dark fruits: raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, pepper, exotic spices, minerals and some fine wood. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. This has an overall character of freshness and the fruit is so beautiful…but this is such a baby. While it shows its quality now, I won’t touch my next bottle for another 10 years. Better after 2035 (to my palate) and through 2058. — 8 months ago

Clos-Saint-Denis Grand Cru Pinot Noir

Comes out earthy and a touch funky, which fades with time open, leaving behind pure brambly berry fruit. Delicate, with good concentration and length. — 3 years ago

Les Bussieres Chambolle-Musigny Pinot Noir

Lovely fragrant Chambolle. Prominent acidic backbone initially but softened with aeration. Perfumed and seductive, classic style. You can keep new world fruit bombs, this is class. — 9 years ago

Bourgogne Passetoutgrains Gamay-Pinot Noir Blend 2022

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2022 Passetoutgrains pours a ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart berries, like a mixed berry jam. There’s also some red and purple flowers along with some underbrush and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium and has a nice juicy mineral finish. This might benefit from a little time on its side to gain a little more complexity but the quality is undeniable. Drink now through 2032. — 8 months ago

Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1961

1986 vintage. Intoxicating perfume of crushed strawberries and sweet roses at the height of the bloom. Profound with layered fruit and velvety tannin, delicate and concentrated at the same time. Very long. An amazing effort for the vintage, that in Decanter is described as "a large crop of indifferent quality with poor concentration". Highly recommended. — 3 years ago

Les Saint Georges Hospices de Nuits Nuits-St.-Georges 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2014

Double decanted at Ma Cuisine. Charming from the get go. Attractive nose of sweet spices and cool red berry fruit. Quite Vosne like. Very elegant and smooth on the palate, while slight astringency gives way to NSG. Later learned that the fruit is owned by Hospice de Nuits. Even more impressive considering Hubert Lignier doesn't own the vineyards. Personally a fan of Les St George made by Lignier and Faiveley. I have go to try the Chevillon and Gouge to see how the style differs for this terroir! — 7 years ago

Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2012

Very intense and dark color surprises and stuns. I'm assuming those are grape juices from Morey-St-Denis although I'm not sure. Well structured, tobacco, leather and dark cherry flavors. Like! — 9 years ago
