The soft texture of this wine is remarkable. Like plush velvet. Soft acids too. Nose has oozing cherry, wet limestone minerality, and some baking spice. Mouthfilling but with a contrasting lightness that is remarkable. Maybe the heat and low acids of 15 actually helped this wine. Will please both neophytes and more sophisticated palates. Don’t wait though, drink now. — a day ago

Great nose. Tangy cherry and citrus hints. Spice and earth. Clean. Vivid. Palate is juicy and clean with bright cherry fruit that saturates the palate and has a terrific hit of 15 opulence. Awesome sweetness and freshness. Showing so well today. — 12 days ago

Beautiful dark & mid red fruits with floral heaven. Both this wines are a yin & yang heaven with this dish.

Stupendous flavors built into this dish by Chef Hedy. Richness with great seasoning.


If you live in & around the greater Bay Area, you owe to yourself to attend one of the dinners Hedy holds 4-5 times a year. Not only is the food amongst the very best we had, the people that attend and environment are as equally good. Find Hedy @Plate&Bottle — 6 days ago

I could drink this wine every night. Not too simple, not too complex. Notes of vanilla, baked red apples, fluffy lemon curd, and the right amount of minerality. Served with fresh bay scallops, sautéed spinach, and a tomato Beurre Blanc. Benjamin Leroux is the man! — a day ago

Complex nose of tangy mid season cherries, spice, huge spice actually, citrus skin, loads of earth and mineral. Haunting. Absorbed the oak. Palate is terrific with deep vibrant sweet fruit and velvety tannins. Great freshness and depth. Great wine. — 12 days ago

Good aligote, but would be unfair to compare it to any of the other Clavelier wines — 4 days ago

The two big surprises of 2019 for me have both been Bourgogne AOCs; the first being Bachelet’s Rouge ‘15 and now PYCM’s Blanc ‘17. It is what this account’s namesake is all about; a beautifully captured handful of pale and sparkling sunlight - with billowing wafts of lemon peel and white peach. Obv depth is lacking compared to his village or GC, but still holds up very well with some really refreshing acidity and purity. — 2 days ago

This has a richness and austerity rare in the under $30 world. It’s complete, elegant, and sophisticated. Green and yellow apples, Asian pear, lemon, and misty yeast backdrop. — 4 days ago

Roulot’s Aligote is always one of the great white Burgundy values as it delivers so much for its price. Lots of lemon lime, citrus, mineral, saline with refreshing & racy acids. — 6 days ago

@Plate&Bottle.

Always a great dinner. First course, Butternut Squash Soup. I almost texted Chef Hedy to suggest this dish but, did not! So happy it’s on menu.

The Louis Michel has started to round (in 375ml) out, add some weight and blend so well with the soup.

Round, phat, slightly honeyed citrus surrounded by caramel, buttery, richness with soft allspice seasoning. Incredible!

Chef Hedy has made this before but, she really out did herself tonight with her BSS.
