2022 vintage. Don't mind Côtes-du-Rhône at home. In fact, blow thru as many as I can find most vintages because of the versatility, drinkability and QPR. At work/the resto tho, only mess with one and it is this baddie. Generally gets more savory and less richie/plushy. Think black olive/tapenade vs überripe dark plum. Decanted and tasted after 20 mins but this needed at least an hour in the decanter. Likely would have scored higher had it fallen as such but those damned, thirsty forces swooped in and left none with which to test my theorem. F. 09.25.25. — a month ago

Wildcard. Prob my fav cuvée from Julien. Tasted aged even tho it’s a 21. Flowery quality to it, like roses, potpourri.

[2019 Vintage:] “A captivating, translucent ruby red hue. Even on the nose alone, there is already a suggestion of ripeness, yet it is utterly enveloped by fragrance: white flowers, grapefruit, cherry, even stony minerals. Really classy and effusive, replete with sapid pinot-esque flavours of enviable concentration. The vintage is quite magical here: all pure, palate-staining but also inexplicably airy in the mouth. The mouthfeel is silky, culminating in a persistent, gentle and thoroughly sweet-fruited long finish held together by an invisible frame. Like the ethereal cuvée Auguste, trails of crushed flower petals replicate and repeat on the lingering finish.” AC
“Guillot brings a unique perspective to gamay—not quite Burgundy, not yet Beaujolais—not only in his Mâcon Rouge and Mâcon-Cruzille, but the mysterious, radiant, field-blended Cuvée 910.” Jon Bonné — 2 years ago

This baby has teeth, about as good as a Cote du Rhone I have ever had and me thinks can be! Between this and Jamet hard to beat CdR! Textbook N Rhone Syrah — 6 months ago
