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! — 7 years ago
Domaine Armelle et Bernard Rion
Les Chaumes Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir 2023
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. — 4 months ago
