"Zélée"Saint-Joseph Syrah 2019

Delectable Wine
9.3

Deep violet color. Heady, spice-accented red and dark berry aromas, along with suggestions of smoky bacon and licorice. Juicy and lithe on the palate, offering bitter cherry and black raspberry flavors that put on weight as the wine opens up. Shows fine definition and spicy cut on a long, juicy finish that features gently gripping tannins and a lingering suggestion of cracked pepper. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, December 2022)

Coteaux Champenois Les Forcières à l'Etat pur Pinot Noir 2017

This is for the les forcieres sparkling 100% Pinot noir @delectable Quite rich broad and oxidative. Could have used time or air but may have gotten even more oxy qualities with either? Nice length and minerality. — 2 years ago

Champagne Meunier 2015

An absolute stunner! So singular and such an incredible expression of Meunier. Insanely complex, precise and energetic. A new favorite Rosé to go along with Facsimile and Selosse. Although this is even more rare, 200 bottles produced/year. — 3 years ago

Collines Rhodaniennes Viognier 2016

A quiet tutorial in balance. Texture is pillowy and fatty and slips into some aromatics of white flowers and pear, flavors of peach and blanched almonds, and an exit where the acid finally shows up - but right on time. Think about biting into a pear and tasting the tart skin only at the very end. That’s this. — 5 years ago
