Les Chaumes Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir 2023

Ming L
9.2

From a family-run Vosne Romanee based producer.

The nose shows crunchy red cherry and raspberry, edged with sweet spice and a faint toasty note. On the palate, the fruit is vivid and forward, with firm, fresh acidity and polished tannins giving a slightly New World–leaning gloss, by Burgundy standards. Less earthy than classic Vosne at this stage, it finishes clean and energetic. Needs at least another 4-5 years to come together, though 2023 vintage is generally considered approachable young.

Les Lavières Nuits St. Georges Pinot Noir 2013

Picked this baby up Nuit-Saint-George while touring France with the in-laws. Father-in-law currently in the cath lab for an inferior STEMI, so decided to break this one out of the archives. Best of luck, Ralph! — 6 years ago

Je Déteste Merlot 2019

SASY Saturday Blind Tasting. Nonfruit aromas dominate, leading us to a cooler climate. Spice and earth but not oaky. Lighter body, medium low acid and tannins. Process of elimination to effing merlot! — 4 years ago
