Hudson Vineyard North Carneros "Pleine de Chêne" Syrah 2008

Extra time has done this one well, taming the original 200% new oak. One of the three Bedrock expressions from the Hudson Vineyard. For ‘08. With all previous bottles from that group consumed five or more years ago, glad I saved this one. Loved it. — 4 years ago

Aÿ Grand Cru Fût De Chêne Brut Champagne Blend

9.4

Beautiful cuvée with age. Bottle bought 10 years ago and likely disgorged around 2010 or so.

Black cherries, liqueur tangerines, dried stone fruits, blackberries, mix of black raspberries/raspberries, rainier cherries, delicate but razor sharp chalkiness, limestone, sea spray, sea fossils, bread dough, baguette crust, soft wine spice, rainbow, floral bouquet, shape acidity, good tension, excellent structure & balance. The finish is elegant with power that lasts minutes. Excellent with Duck Confit, goat cheese with herbs.

Happy Global Champagne Day.

Les Chêne Chassagne-Montrachet Chardonnay 2016

Burg and Dungeness. Cooked pear, ripe apples, a little tropical, creamy, some oak but not over powering, nice balance. Excellent Chardonnay. Pulled this off of the closeout rack, lol wtf? — 8 months ago

Chêne Marchand Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Great sauv blanc. Beguiling honeysuckle and green tropical fruit, pear, kiwi. Very generous, comparatively round and textured for Sancerre but still high acid. This will age well.

Unsurprisingly, even better on day 2. A riot of fruit aroma.

9.2-9.4 over a few days.
