Cornas Syrah 2019

Lyle Fass
9.8

A beast, and still shockingly young. Barely budged in a year and a half, maybe 5% evolution. Nose is unbelievable: crystalline blackberry, blueberry, crushed granite, then more granite, then more blackberry. Palate still has that grapey, youthful, barrel-sample intensity, with massive concentrated fruit and granite oozing through everything. Tannins are significant at first, then smooth out into something velvety, sweet and seamless. Terrific purity, absurd material, huge structure and a long blackberry-granite finish. This is insane Cornas, but it needs forever. — 6 days ago

Still haven’t had the courage to open a 2019; wait until 2030?

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.

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。

Sainte Céline Chablis Chardonnay 2024

Sainte Céline – Chablis – Chardonnay – 2024
Chablis AOC – Burgundy – France 🇫🇷

Overview
A value-driven Chablis crafted from estate parcels with an average vine age of around 30 years, emphasizing freshness, purity, and classic Chablis character. The 2024 vintage delivers exactly what Chablis lovers seek: clarity, tension, and terroir-driven precision without excess weight or oak influence.

Aromas & Flavors
Bright lemon zest, green apple, and white peach lead the nose, followed by subtle hints of oyster shell, crushed chalk, and wet stone. Clean citrus flavors dominate the palate, supported by saline minerality and a touch of fresh herbs.

Mouthfeel
Crisp, dry, and refreshing, with lively acidity and a lean, energetic frame. The texture is linear and precise, carrying freshness from entry through a snappy, mineral-driven finish.

Food Pairings
Oysters, clams, shrimp, ceviche, grilled white fish, sushi, goat cheese, or simple aperitif sipping. A natural partner for seafood-forward dishes.

Verdict
A reliable, classic Chablis that consistently delivers brightness, balance, and typicity. Zesty, clean, and effortlessly drinkable, this is Chablis that does the job beautifully and never disappoints.

Did You Know?
Chablis’ signature minerality comes from its Kimmeridgian limestone soils, rich in fossilized marine life, which give wines their unmistakable chalky and saline edge.

🍷 Personal Pick Highlight
A go-to, no-nonsense Chablis: crisp, dry, zesty, and flavorful. Affordable, dependable, and always satisfying, exactly what Chablis should be.

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
