Hits from the 70's

Going old school with some blasts from the past: 1978 Amarone by Allegrini 1976 Vin Jaune D'Arbois by Rolet Père et Fils Not the most subtle of wines, but certainly some of the most genuine, and that makes them both a pleasure and a privilege to drink.
Is Domaine Petit-Roy getting my hopes up?
Переглядів 58Місяць тому
It feels like there's a subtle changing of the guard in Burgundy, exemplified by producers like the aptly named Domaine Petit-Roy. Trying for the first time: 2022 Haute Côtes de Beaune "Mainbey" (white) 2022 Savigny les Beaunes 1er Cru "Les Lavières" (red) These aren't collector bottles they're for the pure joy of drinking. It feels like more newer producers, like Domaine Petit-Roy, are pursuin...
20andMe: It's complicated
Переглядів 140Місяць тому
Some thoughts on the 2020 vintage in general, based on three wines: 2020 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Poissenot by Domaine Humbert Frères 2020 Gran Enemigo Gualtallary Single Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2020 Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande The past year has been a lot of 2020, and I think it's time to move on and let them sleep for a bit. Maybe. Your mileage may vary...
There's more to Burgundy than 1er and Grand Cru....

Should we be cellaring Condrieu?
Переглядів 181Місяць тому
Two wines from a recent group tasting: 1993 Coteau de Vernon by Domaine Georges Vernay 2008 Meursault Perrières 1er Cru by Michel Bouzereau That '93 condrieu was a good reminder that not all of them have to be drunk young. Even in a group setting, buffered by bigger and better wines, it more than held its own and went from there....
Does wine pedigree matter?
Переглядів 822 місяці тому
Sourcing different expressions of class in the glass with: 2022 Raen Royal St Robert Cuvée Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2008 Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru Les Demoiselles by Domaine Amiot Guy et Fils One's a darling of the trade papers at the moment. One's a bit of a rarity, from a few rows of vines right next to Montrachet. Both have something to say in their own way, but one hints at deeper things....
Have I gone "vin nature"?
Переглядів 972 місяці тому
Making my mind up on a rising (risen?) name in Burgundy, and at least pretty close to "vin nature" producer, Chanterêves. I've had a few cuvées of late, but the most recent didn't impress me much. Another chance here with: 2019 Pommard by Chanterêves This is an interesting bottling for me, as it's the village Pommard from another minimum-interventionist producer, Skyaasen, that really perked up...
Can Burgundy be good value?
Переглядів 1352 місяці тому
This time I go through my typical search for value in Burgundy with 3 wines: 2004 Meursault by Henri Boillot 2020 Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru "Les Paulands" by Chanterêves 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru "Les Beaux-Monts" by Bruno Desaunay-Bissey They were all chosen for value from three perspectives the Boillot, aged white Burg from a trusted traditional producer that comes in for half the price of their ...
Tripling down on Côte Rôtie
Переглядів 1033 місяці тому
Comparing 3 vintages of Côte-Rôtie "Terrasses" by Jean Luc Jamet: '16, '19 and '20. Needless to say, huge steps up from his Pinot and Chardonnay I reviewed recently. And a real treat to get a few vintages showing what they're good at side by side. If you've tried them in these or any other vintage, let me know what you thought in the comments.
Whose Bordeaux scores do you trust?
Переглядів 1023 місяці тому
Tasting the 2015 Champs Libres (white wine from Chateau LaFleur) and 2016 Chateau Batailley. Had 'em on hand, Bordeaux drinking season is in swing, felt like whining about wine scores. I personally use critic scores as a general indication of quality/money's worth, but am also aware that that means parting with cold hard cash on the advice of a stranger. It's worth reminding myself of the note-...
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from... Côte-Rôtie?
Переглядів 693 місяці тому
A couple of strange bottlings from one of my fave Côte Rôtie producers so of course they needed trying. It's not weird at all to find these grapes in other places obviously, but Ampuis? That was a new one for me.
