Les Chaumées Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2018

2018 vintage. Picked the last two bottles at Hi-Time Wine Cellars in Costa Mesa, CA for $119 a btl. Had not seen this producer in the wild since the 1994 vintage.The namesake producer passed away years ago and the daughter has been making the wines for some time now. The old wines I was familiar with were dialed slightly down from the Coche-Dury style but still oaky and fleshy. This was more delicate, light-medium body, with floral attributes and a splash of white pepper. Saved a glass' worth and tasted the following day. Wine had gained a little weight to medium body and the complexity fanned out like a spider web on the palate whereas, beforehand, it was a steady stream of solo notes. Should have decanted but will do so with the last bottle. And yes, I asked if they had any Chenevottes or Caillerets or Maltroye or the like in the back at the time of purchase. Alas...nein. 11.4.25. — 12 days ago

Les Jumeaux Côte de Brouilly Gamay

Vibrant Dark red fruits on nose, dark black/red tints; on palate elegant & smooth mouthfeel, with the black currants, cassis, & crushed dark red cherries all prominent. If I’m reading the previous notes properly this vintage appears to be heftier than others— no lightweight by any means. Delicious, with the asterisk of this lies on the refined side of Beaujolais making. Alcohol 13.5% — 8 months ago
