Les Grands Prétans Givry 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2012

A pinot noir with structure and depth. Nice spice and hint of tobacco. Dark fruits on the palate, medium to high acidity and slightly bitter undertone. Mineral and clean finish. For a price under 40, this 1er is of great value — 9 years ago

Xavier Monnot

Les Charmes Meursault 1er Cru Chardonnay 2010

9.5

One of those white Burgundies that makes you question the logic of the crowd. Why is no one drinking Monnot? It's imported by the same guy who brings in Jamet. Powerful, intense, pure and showing plenty of pedigree, potential, and freshness tonight. — 10 years ago

SM Côtes du Rhône Syrah - Grenache Blend

Definitely can't beat this for the price. I saw a bottle at s friend's house and order one on a whim, I'll be ordering more. Beautiful garnet color and very well balanced on the palate. Tannins and spice are moderated well, making this Rhone blend wine very smooth. Finish is moderate in length but very consistent. — 9 years ago

SFX Gigondas Grenache Blend

9.0

Big red body. Which leads you to big spices of lavender, Rosemary, sage. 70% blend of Grenache 13% Syrah 12% Mourvèdre and 5%cinsault. Dense purple plums and darn cherries.


There are 3 premier Appalachians in rhone. Gigondas, vacqueyras, chateanueuf du pope (the last being the supreme). The story goes that the two keys on the crest of the chateauneuf wine were sealed and punishable by death if you were to drink it if you were not the pope.

Le Rocher des Violettes (Xavier Weisskopf)

Touraine Cabernet Franc 2012

This bottle is really pushing the saturation question but remains really focused and expressive. Restrained aromas, full textural. - unfiltered palate. It is top notch Cab Franc in its bass notes. — 10 years ago
