Domaine François Raveneau
Butteaux Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 1996
Had a ‘95 Butteaux earlier this year that was sublime. Love the way that Raveneau’s wine ages, like a glacier usually.
Patrice Rion
Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots Pinot Noir 2002
a Premier Cru import actually received, it’s a beautiful bottle. Virtually no ullage, it’s a dark plum color that hints at the dark Vosne fruit. A spicy nose of plums and black tea, there’s outstanding thickness and depth to the soft texture, very dark-fruited, still no tertiary elements and no game, gentle tannins, a long life ahead. Really pretty wine. My first experience with this Rion, it’s an excellent Suchots. — 10 days ago
Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey
Les Ancegnières Chassagne-Montrachet Chardonnay 2010
neighbors Batard Montrachet, good company for this lieux dit. Stunning wine—nose, palate, punches far above its appellation. Nose shows flowers and spice, palate contains nuts and citrus, with acidity that lifts the wine, minerality, complex wine, long clean finish. Superb wine. — 18 days ago
Domaine Armand Rousseau
Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1999
Wow! Love this juice @Alan Weinberg
Taittinger
Comtes de Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne Chardonnay 2006
must be a bad batch. There are lots of good notes on this wine. Just not mine.
Let’s drink one together. They’re good... honest!
I’ve had the same experience with this. When tasted alongside the regular Taittinger vintage the latter was hands down the better wine.
