Domaine Maby
Variations Côtes du Rhône Rouge 2016
Shy nose of pepper, plum and a bit of garrigue. The palate is pretty much easy going only. An acid backbone and a joyful fruit that play together without anything winning over. But a bit boring too. There is not much going on. Underwhelming is the word that comes to mind. A finish with fruits and a touch of salt. — 13 days ago
Gaec Leonis
N°2 Côte de Brouilly Gamay 2016
Cherry, cherry moonlight, hay, and a bloody thing. what a fruity nose ! The palate is very acid driven with a nice touch all around the palate and fruits, mostly cherry. Very round yet with a grip, not boring at all. A rather long finish with a nice ripe cherry all along. What a nice beaujo! — 15 days ago
Jean Foillard
Côte du Py Morgon Gamay 2014
Last wine in our flat in Paris before relocating to Warsaw, Poland. A 10 because this wine in this vintage is probably the one I’ve had the most over the time we’ve spent here. Nose of rose petal, cherry, a bit of a humid forest soil scent too which I haven’t smelled with this one before. The palate is, as always, a model of balance with striking acids, lots of fruits (cherry, red forest berries). A light kick in the end of the palate with a nice finish with cherry and raspberry. A nice grip all along the palate. Not as wide and opulent as I recalled it but much more subtle, contemplative. I like it so much! Now I can’t wait to taste my first wine in our new flat in Warsaw! — 8 days ago
Gilles Flacher
Saint Joseph Syrah 2016
A brave and round st jo. Blackberry and pepper on the nose. No trace of other usual northern Rhône Syrah tells. The palate is all roundness and thus pretty well balanced. It lacks a bit of asperity to be grand though. A good grip though, a bit of tannins a good fruit all along the acid backbone but all very well mixed and without any kick to be felt. A milky mouthfeel too. Finish with fruits, quite fresh. A pinch of black pepper too. — 15 days ago
Yannick Amirault
Les Malgagnes Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2015
Green pepper, grenadine, cherry, spices. What a nose ! The palate is wide and intense : a bright red fruit, a dense mineral dimension, a crystal clear acid backbone and a small tannic basis to kick things up a little bit. Finish with cherry and raspberry and a sour note. Very nice — 11 days ago
Gaël Martin
En Faux St. Véran Chardonnay 2016
Domaine Gaël Martin - saint véran « en faux » 2016 - Chardonnay. Nose of hay, lemon. Classic chard. Nose. The palate is rather fruity with a good acid backbone. Lemony touches that make way for pineapple after while. Short finish with said fruits. Dry Chardonnay with a grip. Convincing saint véran — 14 days ago
Olivier Morin
Constance Bourgogne-Chitry Chardonnay
Discreet nose with gun powder and lemon. The palate is well balanced with acid a nice acid backbone and fruits all along (including white peach). Short fruity finish. Refreshing and thirst quenching. Quite different from the other vintage I had which was more mineral — 18 days ago
Daniel Maquin
White flowers, citrus, elderflower, a bit Sauvignon blanc like. The palate is well balanced with a nice mouth feel, with a good grip and a soft touch at the same time, some grapefruit and citrus playing around an acid backbone, some depth, some width. A finish with fruits that lingers for a while. Decent polish white and actually much better than what I anticipated. First wine in Poland as a regular resident there ! A polish wine it should have been and a polish wine it is ! — 3 days ago
