Domaine Comte De Lauze

Les Héritiers du Comte Lafon

Viré-Clessé Chardonnay 2021

All oak and diacetyl at first. Does so much better with some warmth and time in the glass. Salty canned pineapple, vanilla custard, apricot, a touch of green olive, chalky limestone quality—far from Chablis but with an oyster shell quality and wild acid. Sounds like a terrible combination and yet somehow it works. — 11 days ago

I really enjoy this wine, we drank thru most of our 19's already, I must have been asleep and missed both '20 & '21🤦🏻‍♂️, but my case of '22 is coming in this week.

Comte Lafond Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Beautiful Sancerre with clean crisp acidity and expected mineral notes. Absolutely worth the purchase. Recommend for anyone looking to explore the range of the Loire Valley. — 3 months ago

Clos du Four Mâcon-Milly-Lamartine Chardonnay 2020

Killer Macon Chardonnay. Tart green apple, wet rock, hint of lemon zest, used oak? Have had several bottles already. Will age well but can’t keep my hands off of it. Crisp acidity. Way over delivers for a Macon Chard. — 3 months ago

Comte de Saint-Hubert Vieilles Vignes Muscadet Sèvre Et Maine Sur Lie Melon de Bourgogne 1999

Surprisingly so youthful so as to wonder whether this will last more than 50 years (it’s 25 years old now and barely evolved), absolutely lovely!! — 5 days ago

@Ira Schwartz, they are still producing, but I have learned from the importer that this vintage was apparently their pinnacle, a unicorn I suppose, I have myself tried a few other vintages and they’re not anywhere near this level (sadly).

This is amazing. I’m cellaring three Pays Nantais Muscadets right now but never imagined the grape could run this long.

Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Musigny Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1970

1970 vintage. Good not great fill. Cork an absolute mess. Decanted and tasted after an hour. Wow. Light body but still going strong. Big spice and orange peel components. Excellent length of finish and obvious class in the glass. 3.5.24. — a month ago

Mâcon-Milly-Lamartine Chardonnay 2020

Lovely Macon with serious more northern Bourgogne Blanc ambitions. Buttery lactic notes, ripe lemons, fresh acidity and mineral backbone; a well balanced wine nicely coming together at the moment. From magnum and paired with a dish of gray shrimps filled Jerusalem artichokes. — 3 months ago

Domaine Comte Abbatucci

Faustine Vieilles Vignes Sciacarello Nielluccio 2022

As far as I’m aware; my first Corsican wine. Bright and powerful, tart ripe red fruits, low tannin but high minerality. — 3 months ago
