Expression de Gneiss Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine Melon de Bourgogne 2005

ESF
9.0

Was curious how this would hold up: still very much alive, light gold/straw color greenish hued complex nose of cantaloupe & musk melon, saline, minerals, leesy, white flowers, subtle oxidative note - just very engaging particularly as it warmed. On palate it was vibrant & zesty, lively acidity, less fruit more minerals & saline on palate. Fantastic accompaniment to our Big Ass Salad w/smoked salmon & briny ingredients… has more time — 2 months ago

Domaine Faiveley (Joseph Faiveley)

Clos de l'Ecu Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2019

Forest flavor, parsley. Gentle, strawberry, plum etc. red fruits rich. Quite good color. Highly balanced among acidity, spiciness and tanning. Elegant. Good aroma 15 min. Lots of spices in 1.5 hours. 2019 @1995, xiaduo -, 221216-230114 — 6 months ago

Ange Pinot Noir 2015

Stripped, wild, elegantly feminine. Zero S02 and aged in amphora, there's some Loire countryside funk to blow through.

Underneath is a trifold of bright cherry flesh, potting soil, and your daily dose of mineral. Accents of mint snuff and forest pine watching from the rafters, like an arboreal angel.

Lean lightweight and some beautiful limestone texture to see things through.

Agreed @Peter van den Besselaar and strangely looks nothing like the rest of his line

Terrific aged Muscadet, still shows great acidity and balance, fruit is still quite youthful, medium-long, lingering finish!! — 2 months ago

Expression de Granite Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine Melon de Bourgogne 2009

More evolved than the 2009 Orthogneiss, honeyed and floral aromas and flavors, this seems mature, very good, but not great. — 9 months ago
