Les Perrières Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 1995

From a 1ha parcel of vines nearing 100 years old. If memory serves me correctly, Catherine and Pierre had introduced biodynamic practices the previous year (1994).

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 1995 Les Perrières pours a deep garnet with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of brambles, Poblano pepper, purple flowers, graphite, leather, a touch of horse blanket, some fine warm spices and gravelly minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, grippy and mineral laden. Delicious. I love where this wine is at today. Drink now but well stored examples will likely live well past 2035.

Beautifully aged wine. Absolutely stellar. Not for those sensitive to brett. I loved it. It could be nothing other than cab franc. Perfect cork. Beautiful mahogany red in color. So much to give. Nice wine of the night — 4 years ago

Le Dilettante Vouvray Chenin Blanc

Properly dry with tight, fine bubbles and crisp notes of white peach, ripe grapefruit, and wet stones, with very little baking notes. Color is very light yellow with green hues to the center, and palate is bone dry, with more white peach (underripe), dry lemon, some slight hints of thyme or celery notes, and more grapefruit tartness with a lot of dry, limestone energy vibrating to the finish. — 3 months 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。

Vice Versa

Le Petit Vice Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Short Rib wine. 👍🏼
Winery notes,

Unique circumstances helped create the monumentally impressive 2013 Le Petit Vice. Proprietor Patrice Breton worked with Paul Hobbs and Mike Smith in the beginning, and finished the wine with the help of Philippe Melka, and Shawn Johnson… Four of Napa Valley’s most accomplished winemakers.

Aged for 22 months in Taransaud and Marques French oak barrels,

2-3 minute sear on each side at 500-550. Perfect 👌

Prime cut makes a difference. Not a chew fest like supermarket meat.

I have never heard of Taransaud or Marques French barrels but if I go after a master of wine probably should know all the barrels 🤔 any which way sounds like it was a good wine 🍷

Cuvée Lea Chiroubles Gamay 2024

Way too young/too fresh but quite tasty - so light in color it’s almost a rose - cherries the overriding flavor on nose and palate. No acidity and pleasingly quaffable. I think best of the fresh Beauj releases I’ve tried — 3 months ago

P'tit Max Morgon Gamay 2018

Very nice Beaujolais. Was quite curious how this would present given the wide variety of opinions on this wine. Aromatically quite beautiful - delicate flowers, lighter red fruit. Palate follows through nicely. Restrained at this point, and the 14% doesn’t present in any negative way. Long finish with great earthy tannins and good acid. Perfect cold night pairing with a rotisserie chicken. — 5 months ago

It’s been my experience that these need a lot of time to really show their best. I have never tried the 2018 vintage though.
