Les Jardins de Babylone Jurançon Sec Petit Manseng 2018

Deep orange gold… the color of Jurançon or Sauternes (this is Vin de France). Honeyed dried apple on the initially shy nose. Joined on the medium full palate by stone fruit, dried unsweetened pineapple, and a firm, almost tannic mineral streak on opening that softens to a more velvety feel over time. Finish is moderate length and continues the palate. Dagueneau style in a wine from Le Sud-Ouest that, like his others, develops and changes over the course of a meal from steely with the starter, to dried fruitier with the entree, and finishing with a bit more roundness. Remarkably ready for pork, rich seafood, and cassoulet now, but will reward and continue to do so well into the early 2030s. — 5 months ago

La Voûte Saint-Vincent Morgon Gamay 2021

Cherry, violet, hay, a tiny touch of licorice too. This is quite exciting and profound. The palate is showing a massive acid backbone, some width and grip, some cherry notes, but the fruit is a little discreet. There are tannins popping up in the rear, disturbing the mouthfeel, powering up a tangy finish with cherry and a nice bitter note along with a tiny salty touch, almost sea breezesque if that makes sense. This is a serious beaujo, very different from fruit bombs and other crowd-pleasing usual expressions that people tend to rave about. This is gastronomy wine and playing in the same league as some other wines from a different varietal that grow a bit farther to the north. — 3 months ago

Morgon Gamay 2021

Medium Ruby color with red fruit and floral aromas, from 40-year old vines, aged in concrete tanks for about 7 months. On the palate flavors of red plum, cherry, rose petals and earthy mint. Vivid acidity, medium fine tannins, dry with a medium+ finish. Very good, bottle age will benefit! Organic. — 7 months ago

Buisson Renard Pouilly- Fumé Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Bright, pale straw. Initially shy, but inviting nose of underripe quince. Echoed on the medium palate with an intense mineral streak and hints of burnt citrus rind on opening. As the wine develops in the glass, the mineral note subside and rustic fruits come to the fore. Medium plus acidity supports it all the way through to the moderate finish. This is a wine that can support the entire meal: mineral notes parallel light starters, fleshy pomes buttress the main course, and more opulent stone fruits finish with soft cheese or pastry. Rustic fare pairs particularly well. Drink now through 2028. — 6 months ago
