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. — a month ago

La Grande Rue Grand Cru Monopole Pinot Noir 2017

Light medium ruby , with wide garnet rim . Slightly smoky red fruits , with red cherry , strawberry compote , cranberry , fruit pastels , slightly herbal at first and becomes more noticeable with time . On the palate quite light sweet , strawberry , cherry , red currant , with a touch of spice, slightly saline also . Velvety medium tannins, fresh acidity , good length with slightly mineral , herbal and chalky finish . This shows quite young and will be probably better in 3-5 years and will last well a further 10 . — 6 months ago

Winemaking isn’t the best, but the quality of the fruit shines through just fine. Maybe it’s the barrels idk — 5 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
