2024 spring. No detailed notes on this bottle but I’ve enjoyed this multiple times in the recent past and this was of a piece — 2 months ago

Chateau de Pommard. A beautiful place in the picturesque village of its name’s sake. This is where the micro terroirs of Burgundy, or climats, came to life for us when we visited a year ago. Their vineyard around the Chateau was a mosaic of climats that produced just an incredible diverse and contrasting Pinot Noir wines. The Monopole is a blend of seven different blocks from the limestone and clay-rich terroirs. It is a deeply complex, rich Burgundy Pinot. Layers of reserved red fruit infused with subtle notes of earthy forest floor and mushroom, all wrapped in smooth silky tannins providing a balanced lingering finish. I guess you can tell we are still under its spell 😊 — 6 months ago

Serious Beaujolais (100% Gamay) from one of Morgon’s top climats: Corcelette. It is located north of the village of Morgon, on predominantly granite soils. Red and dark fruit, earthy notes, hints of smoke. Medium bodied, structured — 3 years ago

Blend of the 1er Crus Sur La Velle, Champs Fulliots and La Taupine. Stunning nose of buttery mineral salty apples. So much minerality. So saline and clean. Palate is rich yet bracing with awesome acidity and freshness. So pure and drinks like a great Meursault. So elegant and lingers. Top shelf. Great spice on the nose. Wet earth. Terrific. So close to 9.5. Palate is gaining complexity. — 2 months ago

Interesting #pinotnoir from #concadebarbera I have friends (Vega Aixalà) with insane high altitude, mountain slope slate vineyards of Pinot Noir from Conca and it’s pretty good. I imagine that these grapes must come from the higher elevation vineyards in Conca. Conca is really large and actually there are so many different climats, it should be split up into different areas. — 3 years ago

Charming, mouthwatering #chardonnay from the Southern French Haute Vallee climat. Lemon, pear, green apple aromas, palate features the same + enticing acidity and freshness set against a pleasing texture and slight white pepper spice on the finish. Excellent QPR for ~$13 from WTSO. — 5 months ago

Pretty purple dress. First superb nose both fresh and peppery on small black blueberry, blackcurrant, violet flower; then more surprising notes on mountain climates and stink in Switzerland for me. It evokes more southern notes of syrah, such as Cornas, St-Joseph, bacon and smoke without the graphite charcoal side. Really a beautiful cuvée that connects two types of syrah usually tasted. The mouth is fluid. Cuvée full of charm with certainly cold extraction to infuse the fruit to the maximum without excess alcohol. Congratulations Switzerland once again! 🙏🇨🇭

Jolie robe pourpre. Premier nez ouvert à la fois frais et poivré, petits fruits noirs myrtille, cassis, violette; puis des notes plus surprenantes sur les climats de montagnes évoquant les syrah plus sudistes (Cornas, St-Joseph): lard, fumée sans le côté charbon graphite. Une belle cuvée faisant la jonction entre deux types de syrah habituellement goûtées. La bouche est fluide et salivante. Cuvée pleine de charme avec certainement une extraction à froid pour infuser le fruit au maximum sans excès d’alcool. Bravo la Suisse encore une fois ! 🙏🇨🇭 — 2 years ago
