Domaine Louis Boillot et Fils

Bourgogne Pinot Noir

“In the glass, the wine has a cool, dark ruby color that warms to red tinged fuchsia at the edge. Aromas of smoky griotte cherries, fresh ripe cranberries, and wild blueberries move in and out of the foreground, sometimes alternating with wild mushrooms, charcouterie, and freshly cut hay as the nose evolves in the glass. On the palate, the wine tastes “Pinoté” (more like Pinot Noir than Gamay), and grows more voluminous with time in the glass: sleek, focused, transparent, and vibrant, with a sweet core of flavors that echo the nose, including sun warmed black raspberries, dried tarragon, Earl Grey tea, and cardamom. If you didn’t know that this was a Moulin à Vent, you’d be excused if you mistook it for one of Louis Boillot’s elegant, silky Volnays. Drink now – 2029.” — Moore Brothers — 4 years ago

Incline Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2014

a bit bigger than I expected, I would have probably called this a central coast CA pinot if I was blinded. the dark fruit was a bit muted and a hint of Earl Grey tea — 7 years ago

Domaine Paul Pernot et Ses Fils

Bourgogne Chardonnay 2016

Nose has under-ripe papaya, pineapple core, cut yellow apple, nondescript white florals and dry sandstone.

Palate has ripe pineapple core, lemon zest, light vanilla, pear puff pastry, yellow apple peel with slightly chalky notes to the medium finish. Excellent.

Testing out our new Gabriel Glas stemware tonight; almost like a (tulip) Scotch glass with a stem, really concentrating the aromas and with a wider bowl it's almost self-decanting. This was a great bottle to test them out.

I've mentioned before, never pass up the entry level wines of serious producers, they are great values, as their quality should be spread across the brand. So I'll be happy to drink the Bourgogne of anyone who also happens to make a Bâtard-Montrachet.

Cuvée No. 739 Extra Brut Champagne

Stunningly golden in color, an amazing display in the Gabriel Glas!

Nose has toasted Italian bread, ripe yellow apple, beeswax, wet chalk and old lemon. Mature nose.

Palate has nutty wheat bread, oxidized yellow apple, dried lemon pith and risen bread dough.

A fabulous bottle, likely can see 2021-2026, in proper storage with no concerns. I really wish we bought more Jacquesson, like Bérèche & Chartogne-Taillet, they always over-deliver for the price point.

264,292 750ml, 10,250 1500ml & 304 3000ml produced, this bottle was merely the 750ml 🤷🏻‍♂️

Vinous Footnote: In 2011, Jacquesson did not bottle any lieu-dits. All the best fruit went into the 739. The blend is 57% Chardonnay, 21% Pinot Noir and 22% Pinot Meunier, with 31% reserve wines. Disgorged October, 2015. Dosage was 3.5 grams per liter. (AG) (8/2016)

Brut Réserve Champagne Blend

Fresh, apples, poached pear, yogurt, rather gentle bubbles that gradually dissipates in the mouth. Poured in a Gabriel Glas. Preferred this over the Egly Ouriet NV. — 7 years ago
