Le Dilettante Vouvray Chenin Blanc

Properly dry with tight, fine bubbles and crisp notes of white peach, ripe grapefruit, and wet stones, with very little baking notes. Color is very light yellow with green hues to the center, and palate is bone dry, with more white peach (underripe), dry lemon, some slight hints of thyme or celery notes, and more grapefruit tartness with a lot of dry, limestone energy vibrating to the finish. — 3 months ago

Clos de la Maréchale Nuits Saint-Georges 1er Cru Blanc Chardonnay 2015

A great way to kick off our week in Beaune. As one of my friends said, “This psychotically good!” Layered. Complex. Perfect balance. Enjoyed at La Dilettante in Beaune. — 5 years ago

Domaine des Comtes Lafon

Meursault-Genevrières 1er Cru Chardonnay 2008

2008 vintage. At Dilettante in Beaune. Medium golden hue. Big wine on the nose - full concentration of cream and ripe lemon citrus fruits, some stone fruit and buttery oak notes. On the palate, opulent and big but with enough acidity to make it drinkable. There's a lot of oak here. Finish is good but the richness is very evident. Drink now until 2023+. The oak might integrate better over time. — 9 years ago

Les Chétillons Cuvée Spéciale Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne Chardonnay 2009

Nothing short of superlative, this 2009 Les Chétillons is everything Grand Cru Le Mesnil a la Côte des Blancs can be at its very best; quince paste, orange blossom water, Calisson d'Aix, marzipan, brioche and the trembling tension of Les Chétillons that brings us back again and again no matter how much a dilettante might want never to try the same thing twice. No this is the wine that makes a bachelor hang his bugle in that proverbial invisible baldric -settling into a lifetime with the best this world has to offer. I'd rate this 15 out of 10 for every year my little fox and I have shared together as of today but Delectable only goes to 10. "This wine goes to 15..." — 11 years ago

Domaine de la Grange des Pères

Vin de Pays de l'Hérault Red Rhone Blend 2013

2013 vintage. At Dilettante in Beaune. Medium ruby hue. Funky nose - meaty and dark fruit in character, leather tan and earth. On the palate, bright fruit and silky, with a lifted note. Tannins are fairly tame, and the acidity is sufficient to make the wine seem fairly fresh. Medium plus body and alcohol, and decent finish. Really not a style of wine that appeals to me despite its obvious eclectic nature. Would leave for another 3-5 years before drinking. — 9 years ago

Shane Taylor Dilettante Garnet Valley Pinot Noir 2017

2017 vintage. Certified organic Pinot Noir grapes from Garnet Valley which is the highest plantings in the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia.
A nose of bright cherry, carrot tops and celery salt.
Ripe cherries and herbaceous qualities envelope your palette. Earthy and a bit smokey with crisp acidity on the finish.
This wine was built for grilled Pacific salmon or duck pizza.
In 2017 , Shane Taylor won British Columbia Sommelier of the Year. Every year’s winner is given the opportunity to make a wine with Okanagan Crush Pad Winery.
This is Shane’s legacy and a very nice wine.

La Dilettante Vouvray Sec Chenin Blanc 2016

This is beautiful. Apple, pear, honey, a creaminess, and just the perfect touch of sweetness. Awesome to taste the similarities and differences between vouvray and Jurassic Park chenin even if different sugar levels. — 8 years ago

Delectable: incorrect. It's the 2010 bourgeuil, Cabernet franc. Breton is producer.
