Bernard Faurie

Hermitage Syrah 2005

Gold Cap (Bessards-Meal blend), purchased at Marche-aux-Vins in Ampuis in January, 2009, this shows lovely aromatics of iron, mineral, some floral as well, very tight, structured palate with mostly black fruit flavors, clean, balanced, very long finish, ideally needs more cellaring, but I think I only bought 1 so that’s not happening, great Syrah from Hermitage!! — 19 days ago

Domaine Bernard Baudry

Le Clos Guillot Chinon Cabernet Franc 2016

Fresh raspberries made delicate after nine years in the bottle. A crowd pleaser at the Christmas table. — 13 days ago

Bernard Magrez

Château Fombrauge Saint-Èmilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2022

Surprising amount of energy and lift for a wine of this type, still full bodied but leans more towards a medium red than heavy. Very soft tannins, blackberry forward with some plum, blueberry, a bit of raspberry & floral notes and cedar — a month ago

Domaine Bernard Gripa

St. Joseph Syrah 2019

Decided to try one of these guys. Somewhat surprised - more accessible and quite a bit glossier than I was expecting. The 14.5% is well balanced with great acid. Nice deep berry fruit but perhaps doesn’t have as much of those characteristic St. Joseph briny, earthy, olivey, somewhat rustic notes as expected. Nice pairing with shepherd’s pie made from leftovers from Christmas. — 11 days ago

Domaine Bernard Moreau & Fils

Chassagne-Montrachet Chardonnay 2010

Clean, full bodied Montrachet with almondy body, hint of lemon and in excellent condition. — 3 years ago

Domaine Catherine Cuchet-Béliando

Cornas Syrah 2017

Maybe the best nose of any wine in recent memory. Drank it way too young but really wanted to try. 1st half of the bottle was delicious if only the fruit was a little muted, 2nd half was special — 8 days ago

La Ritournelle Bourgueil Cabernet Franc Rosé 2022

ワイン見聞録福袋にあったロワールのロゼ。カベルネフランで2022年もの。当初調べた時は参考価格4700円とみたが、3700円らしい。
真夏のヒートショックを免れてイチゴ系のニュアンスが可愛らしいワイン。
