Comtesse Lafond

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Réserve de la Comtesse Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2018

A 2nd Grand Cru Classé 1855 Chateau located in the southern end of Pauillac that produces powerful wines with amazing structure wines.

V.2018 was beautifully blended at 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35%Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, 8%Petit Verdot, that delivers high-powered notes of espresso, tobacco leaves, and dense-black fruits on the nose.
Full-bodied, rich and velvety with an exquisite silken mouthfeel that is so signature of Pauillac wines, very plushy and opulent, yet well-priced and worth every single sip to the very last drop.

Age worthy to a decade if patient. However; literally couldn’t wait for it and had it all in a single seat!

I have never had a bad bottle of this second wine. Even a 1992 that I had a few years back is probably one of the 15-20 very best wines I've had.

Thanks for sharing that Daniel. I was very surprised with this label and ended up buying 3 more bottles for cellaring. This Vintage is still climbing to its peak. Pretty good!

This is always a beautiful. At this stage it’s quite complex to understand. But it’s clear that with the time it’ll turn onto a special wine. — 10 days ago

I don’t think I’ve ever had a white Lirac. Nice!

@Tom Casagrande, there are small quantities of Lirac blanc out there, this same producer makes an old vine Lirac blanc from 125-year-old head-pruned vines that is quite interesting as well.

Comtesse Bernard de Cherisey

La Genelotte - Monopole Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru Chardonnay 2018

Ein wunderbarer Burgunder. In der Nase geschmorter Apfel, Bratbirne, Limettenschale, und einen leichten Hauch von weissen Blüten. Am Gaumen saftig, sanfter Holzeinsatz aber nicht so mächtig wie sonstige Meursaults, jedoch auch nicht so mineralisch wie die Puligny‘s aus dem angrenzenden Gebiet. Angenehme Feuerstein-Mineralik und leichte Salzigkeit. Ein Genuss zum servierten Steinbutt mit Spitzmorchel und Frühlingserbse. Säure: Medium, Alkohol: Medium +
Preis-Leistung: 7/10

Château de Montfaucon

Comtesse Madeleine de Montfaucon Côtes du Rhône Clairette 2016

Honeyed, rich, viscous, very good balancing acidity, round and very long, lingering finish, I think fully mature (or very close), this is a brilliant 120+-year -old Lirac blanc from 100% Clairette!! (@Tom Casagrande, this is the other Lirac blanc, same producer as the other, back label has all information.) — a month ago

Clos Fussay Tête de Cuvée Reuilly Sauvignon Blanc

Pale golden color. Aromas and flavors of wet stones, tropical and citrus fruits, green apple, fresh herbs, honey and white flowers. Noticeable mineral flavors on the long and mouth watering finish. Very crisp with a noticeable acidic back bone. Slightly creamy texture. Pleasantly odd. Solid QPR. — 5 months ago
