Cles Des Ducs

Domaine Michel Lafarge

Clos du Château des Ducs Monopole Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2017

This was slightly muted when 1st opened & really opened up with an hour of air. Notes of red cherry, berry with lots of spice, earth, mineral & violets. — a month ago

Stéphane Coquillette

Les Clés Blanc de Noirs Brut Champagne

The Coquillette family is known mostly for Saint-Chamant; a house their family founded in the 1930’s. Stephane Coquillette now runs the operation and while he remains committed to his focus on Chardonnay for Saint-Chamant, his desire to work with Pinot Noir is expressed through his eponymous label.

Popped and poured; no formal notes. The “Cuvee Les Cles” is a Blanc de Noirs exclusively sourced from the village of Aÿ and therefore 100% Grand Cru. It’s a beautiful expression of Pinot Noir with a lovely mix of strawberries and raspberries. The fruit profile was generous which gave it an almost round impression even though the dosage was rather modest at 5g/l. The finish was rich and very enjoyable. A very lovely way to start the evening.

Clos des Ducs Monopole Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2002

Twenty-five years as a stubborn tart, she has finally expressed on taste what the nose and ruby color suggested for much of her path. Pleasant 1er to enjoy for at least a decade. — 3 months ago

Domaine Des Deux Clés

Cles en Main Rouge

This was really interesting. Loved the aroma and the flavors continued to evolve over a few days. The nose was a bit earthy and funky. Soft attack, red and black fruits, gentle pepperiness on the finish. Good acidity. Didn’t go well with a red pasta sauce, but I’d easily drink this again. Thanks Jason! — 5 years ago
