Château Moulin Du Bourg

Yvon Métras

Moulin-à-Vent Gamay 2012

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2012 pours a hazy garnet color with a translucent core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart and ripe mixed fruits: raspberry, pomegranate, strawberry, Bing cherry, licorice, horse blanket, forest floor and rocky minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. This finish is long. A wild wine; literally and figuratively. Teeters on the edge of being too careless but it doesn’t cross over into the realm of gerbil cage. Drink now. — 12 days ago

Les P'tits Bouts Cornas Syrah 2022

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two days and consistent throughout. The 2022 “Les p’tits bouts” pours a deep ruby/purple with an opaque core; medium viscosity and moderate staining of the tears. On the nose the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart fruit. Initially reductive and primary but after an hour, the nose became a stunning bouquet of fresh ripe blackberries, blueberries, an entire field of lavender, bacon fat, dried green herbs and some gentle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. The finish is long. Beautifully fresh at this stage. Drink now and through 2037. — a month ago

Château Roc de Cambes

Côtes de Bourg Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Strong and fruity nose with ripe black fruits and chocolate notes.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry and fruit forward on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing cooked cherries, plums, black currants, coffee, light cedar, earth, herbs, spices, tobacco and chocolates.

Nice finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

This is a delicious Merlot from the Right Bank of Bordeaux. Soft, elegant, and very impressive.

Rich, complex and fruit forward. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.

This 6 year old Merlot will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

Drinking it with the wine maker in the winery's cellar is always a special experience.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in new French oak barrels for 18 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$100.

Continues to drink better with more age. Very nicely balanced at present. For my taste, why let any other bottles sit longer? — a month ago

Domaine des Terres Dorées (Jean-Paul Brun)

Moulin-à-Vent Gamay 2022

Forgot to take detailed notes, but this was nice. Not really any carbonic / natural / “new agey”notes, just a solid classically made gamay. Definitely has some structure, opened 4 hours before serving which was good. Didn’t sing on any one dimension of fruit / earth / acid / length / texture but was nice overall. — 24 days ago
