Anyone else catch that 64 Volnay in the new Beatles doc? Inspired me to open this Voillot VV! — 4 years ago

Wow. Like a CPB blanc (Beaucastel VV?) with a bit of humor and some mountain air. Grapefruit, wet stone, pine, lemon oil, waxy palate, bitter almond. Need more of this in my life. Beautiful stuff @Lyle Fass — 5 years ago

Final vintage of VV. The predominance of wine was Les Clos, which is 1er Cru as of 2018. — 6 years ago

The first audible of the night was this stunning 2015 Hubert Lignier M-S-D 1er VV that John pulled out in between the Rabbit and Beef courses. Full disclosure, I get twitterpated when a bottle of H. Lignier gets opened. There’s just something in the style that’s mesmerizing across the range, from the Passetoutgrain to the Clos de la Roche. These are wines of power and grace. Well fruited but with layers of complexity. John considers this to be the best value of H. Lignier’s offerings. Hard to argue. — 7 years ago

Beautiful violet and rose petal aromatics. Multiple layers of floral notes and red fruits gliding in and out. Once again, touch of iron that made think that the village was from Gevrey, but could only think of two producers who make such elegant GC: Fourrier and Mugneret Gibourg. The floral quality and lack of candy notes left me with the former. Guessed Fourrier GC VV 2014 due to the relatively short finish (fooled by the vintage) but sappy tannins. — 8 years ago

Gonon makes very good wine. Should have drank it with the Feray to compare. Perhaps a little tighter, earthier, and more mineral. Needs time, but so so delicious. Now to find the VV. — 9 years ago

An absolute monster of a wine. 4 hours in the decanter served perfectly to allow this 2001, perhaps one of the best Hommage vintages ever, to flaunt its incredibly complex aromatic array of black fruits, roasted Provençal herbs, licorice, campfire smoke and Christmas spices.

It’s still youthful with ripe tannins and a ton of muscle. Nowhere near its peak. But it’s entering its drinking window seamlessly, being incredibly giving and expressive with sufficient air. Similar to how VV Gonon differs from the regular bottling, Hommage just cranks everything up to 10 and it’s concentrated flavors come at you in waves. But it never gets heavy as there is just enough lift and precision to keep everything harmonious. A very special bottle from a very special vintage indeed. — 5 years ago

Had a VV 15 &16 the same evening with same 2+ hour decant. The 15 was quite enjoyable and the 16 not so much — 6 years ago

Restores one’s faith in White Burgundy. Glorious. Vibrant acidity, lovely citrus/apple/stone/custard flavors that developed beautifully over and hour plus. The last sip was the best one. — 6 years ago

From magnum. Had it next to the stylistically similar Fourrier Gevrey VV, but this was the better wine for me - it had a little more depth and texture. Started of similarly reductive, but quickly opened up to scents of roses, intense red cherry, and smoky insence. The palate's velvety, mix of red and dark fruits, rich but offers lots of freshness with its crisp acidity. Minerality plays second fiddle at the moment, but is evident in the long spicy finish. I bet this was how it looked like when it was first bottled, so time can only make it better. 1er level for sure!

NB: From WH - This plot is located on the southern side of Griotte-Chambertin alongside the Claude Dugat plot and below the Duroché plot of Griottes-Chambertin. It is quite strange that this vineyard has been classified as village as it’s located so close to the Grand Crus. — 7 years ago

As good as any solid Gevrey your gonna get. The VV definitely helps its status. — 9 years ago

VV 2006. Great stuff!
Very intensive and looong. Some notes of first maturity like leather and earth. But enough strength for a lot of more years. — 9 years ago

On to the reds and a blind 90 Ponsot horizontal I’m surprising the boyz with. All served blind. First up is the CdlR VV, which we’ve all had many, many times. Dark reddish tawny with a perfumed nose. Notes of bing cherry, sweet rhubarb, some earth and some tantalizing spice. Silky, rich and opulent in the mouth. Coats everything it hits with a big blanket of fruit. Perfect balance of structure, acidity and fruit – all aging in harmony. Super long finish. (Bday 6 of 12) — 5 years ago

Was hoping for so much after the St Jospeh VV ‘04, but Meh....not good p/q. Nice northern rhone dark fruit savoury nose. Decent weight, balance and structure, but no better than a decent St Joseph or even a very good CduR. Passsss at this price point. — 5 years ago

平均樹齢50年というVVのマコン。暖かさを感じるシャルドネだが、トロピカルすぎる感じは皆無で酸味がとても綺麗。余韻にじわーっと果実と熟成の感じがあり心地よい。

From Mag. Mature... a hint of apple and sherry but not too much. On the palate broad and slightly lush with settled acidity and decent length. Given this is s mag, it's probably worth checking in on these as their time may soon be up, but for drinking right now- very good — 9 years ago
