Côte de Léchet Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2009

The bottle had a chip on the lip that was concealed by the foil. (See upper left of photo). There wasn’t any glass released by removing the cap, so the bottle should not have been used. None-the-less, the wine was fine. The color was dark straw. On the nose the caramel aging notes are evident. On the palate more caramel notes along with oak, lemon, molasses, ginger, burnt sugar, and minerals. Medium bodied, high acid, medium alcohol, with a long finish. This is a 2009 and fully aged. — a month ago

I chalk that up to Defaix’s commitment to INOX, even in the case of his 1er and GC along with his protracted aging on the lees before bottling and ultimately, release.

Château Fombrauge Saint-Èmilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

Dark, glass-clinging purple with opaque black core. Abundant, blue-fruity nose. Echoed on the lush, full palate which adds red apple peel, blackberry, and bitter black plum. Medium acidity. Velvety medium tannins. Very nice, everyday St. Emilion. Food is, of course, naturally its friend. Drink now through 2030. — 3 months ago

Chateau Pape Clément Grand Cru Classé de Graves Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Perfectly ripe black and red fruit. Grippy tannins, but still gives a nice mouthfeel. Not a lot of complexity. Great wine that has a lot of life left. Really enjoyable but hard to see how RP gave it a 100. — a month ago

Domaine Bernard Baudry

Les Grézeaux Chinon Cabernet Franc 2017

Vintage 2017 | Well balanced. Serious. Spicyness. Textbook Cab Franc and still so much different from the Bourgueil we drank yesterday. Minerals. Paired with Cantonese beef and mango. — 2 months ago
