Millésime Brut Champagne Blend 2009

Lovely nose of ripe pear, honey, cake frosting. Pretty easy to sip - round, toasty, decent acidity, slight pleasant bitterness, fresh enough but age showing nicely. — 13 days ago

Quinet Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah 2020

Could this be the best value I’ve ever tasted? It’s right up there. Sweet purple fruits, mineral backbone, grilled meat. A lovely lavender note; both dried and fresh, excellent length on the finish. I love lower ABV Syrah that is not underripe; 12.5%. Does have some tannin; I’m interested to revisit in 3-5 years. From Fass selections — 22 days ago

Un Jour de 1911 Brut Champagne Pinot Noir

Wish I knew the base year and other relevant info re this bottle. I’ve had it a couple years. Lovely stuff. Since they claim to make 1911 bottles, what do they do with the rest if “more” is vinified? — a month ago

Indeed excellent qpr. If you buy a case then each bottle is wrapped in straw and has it's own booklet. On the back of the booklet you can see the bottle nr xxxx/1911 and the degorgement date. This at least gives a hint of the period. It is a blend of multiple years so if they have a rich harvest maybe they save some for blending purposes with future vintages? They make other cuvee's as well so they blend excess wine with those also

Domaine André et Mireille Tissot

Benedicte & Stephane Tissot Chateau-Chalon Vin Jaune Savagnin 2016

An incredibly powerful, oxidative wine from Jura. The intensely nutty, salty, oily, honied flavors were magical with the “Pastured chicken, preserved lemon, garlic confit” dish which tasted braised and white-saucey.
This would also be perfect with stinky cheese!
