Domaine du Meix-Foulot
Les Veleys Mercurey 1er Cru Pinot Noir
Solid good but was expecting a bit more. — 15 days ago
Domaine Belleville
Rabourcé Rully 1er Cru Chardonnay 2006
Cved 2/28/20 after MB tasting of Ampeau Merseault ‘97 fire comp. color is much darker amber. Nose a bit on the oxidized side but not overly so and balanced profile and long finish. Opened next day and went well with dinner. — 2 years ago
Domaine Faiveley (Joseph Faiveley)
Clos des Myglands Mercurey 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2014
Pop and pour. One btl remaining. This tasted over the hill at first: no nose, tired palate. I didn't pour it down the drain and my father-in-law insisted on tasting it. He said: it isn't flawed, which is true, but it also seemed well past prime at the time.
Nevertheless, after 3 hrs: nose of soft plum, gamebird and cocoa, and the softest touch of VA. On the palate, slightly less compelling, hi-toned black and red fruit with some green notes and a tangy, bright finish. Conclusion: seems solid to good with a fair amount of air! — 5 hours ago
Antonin Rodet
Domaine de la Bressande Mercurey Pinot Noir 2019
Deep ruby purple. Muted oceanic nose with seaweed and ozone. Delicate, fruit driven palate entry with tart plum and bitter skin. Sort of yum, yum baby fat fruit here. Medium body, medium acid, medium alc. Tannins are light and fine. Not complex but delicious. — 17 days ago
Domaine du Cellier aux Moines
Clos du Cellier aux Moines Givry 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2019
Every bit as good as we remembered from older vintages. Has a bit more structure and tanins than other Givry, less feminine. But complex, well done, dark cherries, flowers and a hint of spices in a classically done red with lots of potential. We loved it and are buying more. — 19 days ago
Maison Chanzy
En Rosey Rully Chardonnay 2019
Nice with the halibut with tomatillo puree. Citrus and mineral notes, with a very low key finish. — a day ago
Château de Rully
Molesme Rully 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2020
Also inky purple. Perfumed, violets, blackberry liquor. High acid, medium bodied, alcohol balanced. For me, more interesting than the Maranges. — 17 days ago
Jason Keefer
Definitely more tart than its chard burg counterparts, but a nice citrusy acidity with a bit of chalkiness and orchard fruit. Definitely will revisit! — 4 days ago
