2018 - Bourgogne Pinot Noir "Les Chaillots" Nicolas Morin.
Excellent Pinot Noir, léger rond équilibré aromatique fruité, sans ajout de sulfites ni collage ni filtration — 5 years ago
One of my favorite whites from any region. It’s bright, no oak, with great citrus, ripe melon and floral notes. A real gem of the Valle — a year ago
Delish, not too sweet, great with seafood! Easy drink — 6 years ago
Surprising. Fruit-forward but not overwhelming, nice tannic balance, low-medium acid. — 6 years ago
Here I found a shy bouquet of dried strawberry, with dusty cedar, spice box, pepper (which took dominance from time to time), and hints of rose. On the medium-bodied palate, soft textures contrasted by light tannin ushered in a collage of dry red fruits and minerals, as brisk acidity added a mouthwatering freshness. It finished on youthful restraint, with fine tannin saturating the senses along as hints of dried cherry and strawberry lingered long. — 7 years ago

On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our full cast of conductors include Andris Nelsons, Christoph Eschenbach, Keith Lockhart, Michael Tilson Thomas and John Williams. The beautiful and vocally talented Audra McDonald is our host for the evening along with Midori on violin and Yo-Yo Ma on cello.
This will likely be an evening to remember for some time. Program notes from the BSO "Reflecting the season-long theme, The Bernstein Centennial Celebration at Tanglewood will spotlight Bernstein's wide-ranging talents as a composer, his many gifts as a great interpreter and champion of other composers, and his role as an inspirer of a new generation of musicians and music lovers across the country and around the globe. The gala concert will feature a kaleidoscopic array of artists and ensembles from the worlds of classical music, film, and Broadway. The entire first half of the program is dedicated to selections from such brilliant Bernstein works as Candide, West Side Story, Mass, and Serenade. Music from the classical canon very dear to Bernstein's heart-selections from Mahler's Des Knaben Wunderhorn and music by Copland-plus a new work by John Williams, makes up a good portion of the program's second half; the finale of Mahler's Resurrection Symphony brings the program to a dramatic close."
We're revisiting some producer bottles from our late Spring France vacation earlier this year.
Nose of under-ripe tropical fruits, banana skin, light oak touch. Palate has yummy papaya, under-ripe peach, tangerine and sweet oak.
Photos of the Jadot (Update, Bouchard!) Chateau with its beautiful colored slate roof (to the left of the chateau its the conservatory where we had an epic lunch during our visit and they used to overwinter their citrus trees in here many, many years ago), pictures of the first room of the most amazing library cellar in all of Burgundy (the subsequent rooms are even more amazing) and our bottle of the evening.
24hr Update, sweet oak and fermented tropical fruits just stunning today, last bottle. ☹️
OMG Update: somehow I grabbed pics from our Bouchard visit, argh! The only Jadot thing in the collage is the bottle, so sorry! — 6 years ago

Rich hints of tobacco and vanilla. Smooth, almost velvety. Nice easy drinking red blend. — 3 months ago
