The Loire has hidden gems. Great winebar wines. 🙃
Domaine Galévan
Le Puy Saint Martin Vin de Pays de Vaucluse 2012
@Tom Casagrande, absolutely a surprise, definitely better than the last bottle I checked in 3-4 years ago!?!?
Pouring their 2021 CDP (and before that, the 2019) btg via Coravin. Does a nice job straddling the old school and new world palates at a solid price. Haven't had anything besides CDP from them but if I saw it in the wild, would be likely to purchase.
@Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego , thanks you for the data reference point, I didn’t even know Galevan was also a CdP producer (and I’ve been buying/loving CdP for nearly 45 years. All I can say here is that if this Vaucluse rouge was this good, their CdP must be really fine!! Thanks for the education!!
Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste
Saint Guirons Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1982
I’m amazed you still have any left! I didn’t have the wherewithal to buy many 82s on release or as futures, but what little I didn’t last 10 years as delicious as they were from day 1.
@Tom Casagrande, I did buy a large slug of 1982s, and fortunately I stored them in a friend’s basement in Queens, so they were not easily accessible. And when we moved to California, I had them shipped out but they were stored in Napa, so a good hour drive with limited opening hours. That’s probably what saved the 5-7 cases of 1982s I have left from being consumed earlier. Cheers!!
