Very cool, Tom! I'm playing one of their songs with a band soon. I wasn't familiar with them or this chateau 😊 @Tom Casagrande
Just curious Dave, as a non native English speaker. I was always under the assumption that palette is something that a painter uses and the palate is what you use to describe the tasting sensory system. I see palette more often used in wine descriptions. Can you enlighten me?
Domaine des Comtes Lafon
Volnay Santenots-du-Milieu 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2009
Always delivers with its generous red cherry, berry fruit, spice, earth, mineral, fresh floral & violets. Just hitting its prime with many yrs left — a month ago
Domaine des Comtes Lafon
Clos de la Barre Meursault Chardonnay 2017
Definitely a wine that needs to be served closer to room temperature than the fridge and let breathe just a bit. Complex bouquet comes alive as it warms with key lime pie, caramel apples, white flowers, and Chantilly cream underlaid by chalky marl aromas. Awesome, but then again, you expect that in this price range from a premier cru. — a month ago

The nose on this is stunning. Big and black fruit with a dollop of tar. The pallete follows the nose with blackberries, plum, dusty rock, and dark soil. An enjoyable balance of fruit and earth. Steak wine! This is excellent.
