Les Folatières Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2011

Les Folatieres is absolutely a magical vineyard. Energy of the site completely overtaking any wine in the glass. So great hard to put into words the amount of energy and ethereal structure is trapped in here. Thankful to have a few bottles 🙏🏼 — 6 years ago

Les Chevalières Meursault Chardonnay

A comparatively thin Chardonnay, with typical notes of lemon and oak. This wine was quite tasty though and it paired rather well with a variety of cooked fish and sashimi. — 7 years ago

Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay 2014

Actually preferred their Referts 2014 over this one but I think it was because the former was more accessible at this moment in time. — 7 years ago

Clos de la Boutiere Maranges 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2022

Very nice premier cru Maranges. Looking for value on the list at the Grill isn’t always easy, but there are usually a couple bottles that catch the eye. Delicious fruit, but with a ton of restraint. Deep earth, good acid, definitely some fuller tannins. Very nice pairing with a variety of dishes. Will be better in a few years but very good today too. — 8 months ago

Complexity hits you right away. Slight oak on the nose and palate. Fresh cut green grass, citrus, hint of pear and acacia flowers on the nose. Awesome minerality and mouth coating acidity on the palate. Ends in a medium plus finish. — 6 years ago

Ventoux Red Rhone Blend 2016

Such a balanced and fine Ventoux that juggles fresh and serious elements. The ripping heat of the 2016 growing season created a lot of tired wines in this region...but this isn’t one. As good as everyday Grenache can be. — 7 years ago
