A nose full of intoxicating aromas of mushroom, Forrest Floor, vanilla and violets. Red and black berry flavors with a toasty note. A savory wine with beautifully rounded tannins. Deep red color. Elegant with perfect structure. Classic red Burgundy! — 9 days ago

2021/4 with roast pheasant breast with pheasant fond, truffle butter and cabbage. As seems to happen with reds from my (overly cold?) cellar, this still seemed to be emerging from adolescence - not quite what most would expect from a 14+ year Chalonnaise wine. Then again, I’ve always found the 2006 reds from Burgundy to be a little blocky, and little blowsy. Still, this was tasty and had hints of emerging complexity. It also still had the price tag on it, and I marveled again that de Villaine has barely raised prices in well over a decade (the recent, pricier line of 1er crus being new additions to the lineup). Please, please, never change. — 11 days ago

2021/4/9-10 with Yuko’s nori bento and delivery yakitori. I gave this a try because they had it at a local wine shop who use taste matches mine (generally a good strategy), and this was just what you’d hope for - light and juicy but characterful, with sneaky stuffing. I’d definitely buy it again. — 11 days ago

Sea shell/breeze, lemon zest, vanilla, underripe pear, toasted oak. On the leaner side, but still enough orchard fruit and a hint of oak in the finish to add complexity and fullness. Good stuff. — 12 days ago
