Les Chaumes Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2015

I had a previous bottle earlier this year with similar notes. A lovely perfume, typically Vosne Romanee - red florals, earthy, mushroom - forest floor. Sweet fruited reflecting the warmer vintage. Lacked a little complexity. I was following Jancis’s drinking window (Julia Harding MW) of 2019 - 2025 which I feel is too early. This could easily go on for 3 or 4 more years. As a point of comparison I have another 2015 Les Chaumes made by Domaine Francois Lamarche where the drinking window from Jancis is 2026 - 2042 which is a big difference. Drinking Windows are an inexact science. — 6 months ago

La Grande Rue Grand Cru Monopole Pinot Noir 2013

Medium ruby , quite narrow ruby garnet rim . Quite discreet , mix of red and dark fruits with limestone , rose , cranberry and blackberry . On the palate quite intense and mineral, chalky and cool strawberry , cranberry , blackberry and cherry . Shows more tannin than the 2017 , still quite young and fruit driven , but more mineral and darker fruits . Good mineral , chalky tinged length . Drinking well now though no rush over the next 10 years — 10 months ago

Winemaking isn’t the best, but the quality of the fruit shines through just fine. Maybe it’s the barrels idk — 9 months ago

Bourgogne Aligoté 2016

Aligoté is a light bodied white that often ends up unfairly lost in Chardonnay’s shadow. In Côte Chalonnaise, in a quaint village named Bouzeron, just south of the Côte de Beaune, Aligoté has its very own appellation where yields are limited in order to enhance flavors, acidity and overall quality. — 4 years ago

Cuvée 59 La Grande Rue Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2014

Quite tight fruit but real depth of quality to the fruit. There’s a suppleness and complexity to the midpalate that’s a real surprise. Excellent — 6 years ago
