Pale golden color. Aromas of citrus, raw nuts, butter and lightly charred oak. Flavors of green apple, lemon, toasted almonds, baking spices and hot buttered popcorn. Creamy finish with well balanced/rich acidity. Medium bodied and nice freshness. Bright and crisp. Thanks for opening, Keith S! — 4 months ago

Excellent white Burgundy from up-and-coming micro-négoce by Japanese expat Seiichi Saito. This comes from Saito’s own tiny 0.1 hectare plot in the Boutières lieu-dit in Savigny-les-Beaune, farmed biodynamically. Fermented with indigenous yeasts. Aged in neutral oak for about 11 months. Unfiltered, unfined. Lively nose with aromas of Meyer lemon, yellow apple, pear and apricot. Medium-bodied, textured, mineral. Lots of green apple in the palate. Delicious 😋 — 3 years ago

Interesting concept where small quality productions are sold as futures. Dark garnet color. Aromas of black cherry, plum, graphite and dark chocolate. Palate is very fruit forward noting ample black cherry, black currant and blackberry flavors. Nice amount of oak on the long finish. Medium plus body. Juicy and concentrated. Tannins are well integrated. I like the idea and this is an excellent wine! Thank You for sharing, Keith S! Revisited in November 2025. Aged well and time to drink. — 4 years ago

I absolutely adore the heft and complexity of this Ontario Pinot Gris. Who knew Canada could make Pinot Gris of such tremendous class? — 5 months ago

Surprising négoce wine by François de Nicolay of Chandon de Briailles, one of our favorite producers in Savigny-les-Beaune/Corton. This is 100% Chardonnay sourced from organic/biodynamic vineyards in the Coteaux de Champlitte, a little known appellation north of Jura, in the in the Franche-Comté department. Expressive nose. Vibrant, lovely nose of crisp green apple. Fresh, medium-bodied, mineral, great texture, good acidity — 3 years ago

2020 vintage. Everything is great these days at Jaboulet (négoce wines and estate wines alike) and this Côte Rôtie is no exception. "Les Jumelles" (French for " twins" ) is a blend of Côte Blonde and Côte Brune. It is a terrific effort in a vintage that maintained impressive freshness in a very hot year. A beautiful nose with red and black fruits and flowers. It has depth and elegance, refined tannins and great length. Abv.14%. — 4 years ago

Dark purple color. Deep plum, herb, black licorice and purple flower aromas. Dark cherry, leather, pumice, and grilled sage flavors. Chewy tannins (but smooth) and a concentrated finish. Luscious, dense, intense and full bodied. Amazing quality for the price. — 5 years ago

Blend of Roussanne (40%), Viognier (40%), Grenache Blanc (10%), Clairette (10%) and Bourboulenc (5%). Light to medium straw color. Aromas of peaches, white flowers and minerals. Palate features green apple, unripe peach, orange zest and a hint of butter. Notes of wet stones on the very long finish. Creamy texture (lightly oaked?). Crisp acidity. Solid. Thanks for sharing, Keith S! — 3 years ago

Pale lemon in color, swirling the glass reveals fresh aromas of lemon, green apple, pastry and a dash of almonds. Medium bodied, the 2020 Chablis Champs Royaux is a snappy little Chablis balanced by a lively acidity. The medium finish confirms a wine of good quality. I'm glad to see that this négoce wine from Fèvre has improved over recent years. Drink now until 2026 — 4 years ago

Sophisticated and elegant bouquet of strawberry, vanilla, flowers, forest floor and dried figs. Juicy, delicious and easy going négoce Pinot Noir by one of the owners of Chandon de Briailles. Still has potential but already quaffable.
