Domaine Bernard Moreau & Fils
Chassagne-Montrachet Chardonnay 2010
Previous bottle opened a few months ago was very tired, but tonight we are back to form. Plenty of ripe and lean orchard fruit with a drop of lemon. Lots coming through for a village wine, both in terms of flavors as well as density. Very good now. — 2 months ago
Domaine Les Roches (Alain et Jérome Lenoir)
Chinon Cabernet Franc 2005
@Doug Powers Love the Texier anecdote
@Ira Schwartz, all true, he took us to Domaine Chamonard (we were so cold tasting there that our teeth were literally chattering), also Lapalu and Janin in Beaujolais, always in his own cellars, and we’d spend a day at the Marche aux Vins in Ampuis!! In addition to making fabulous wines himself, Eric was so generous with his knowledge and connections, Lenoir in Chinon being another one!!
@Doug Powers I know it’s all true. Some of the wine folks I hang out with are close to him and every time he would visit NYC they would have dinners with him.

Put these down and watch the angry tannin melt away. Lighter-bodied right banker. — 8 days ago
