Another Servin 2017 tour-de-force, but more detailed and riveting than the lesser crus and villages-level offerings. Meyer lemon, Maldon salt, sea foam and the apple-blossom essence of Vaillons are wrapped into a seamless package of richness, length and persistence that suggest Champenois vins clairs needing only a second fermentation to transform and tame them into something even more regal and refined. 1er Cru Chablis cannot be any better than this. — 5 years ago
A really nice midweight Merlot (and Cab). Plums outweigh the blackcurrant but both are there; there’s a hint of underbrush and subtle (very subtle) funk and pyrazine. This is definitely old world, but not as extracted and woody as most cru bordeaux. A really nice bottle. I wouldn’t keep this for decades, but it can definitely soften a little. Reminded me a bit of Lynch Bages from a middle of the road vintage. — 5 years ago

Fleurie 2014 Château des Moriers, Miss Vicky Wine. Good Beaujolais Crus tend to age very well, and this is no exception. I tasted the 2013 and 2014 alongside, and while they both are very good, I prefer the more mineral Pinot Noir-like 2014. Exceptional value too. — 10 months ago
