Punching way above its weight, it is texturally very similar to the ‘02 CdlR. — 6 days ago

When in France. But goodness it’s gorgeous today, pnp flaunting layered dark fruit, floral and spice inflicted aromatics with the obvious VV concentration on the palate. Such special wines. This with the cheese is all I need 😎. — 6 months ago

Pale lemon in color, this energetic young Chablis expresses precise aromas of lemon, lime, green apple, white peach with a hint of oyster shell and wet stones. Medium bodied with a zesty high acidity and intense flavors, the 2020 Chablis Vieilles Vignes from Bessin-Tremblay is game on. Drink now or until 2030. — 2 years ago

IMO, MG makes one of the absolute best Clos Vougeot’s. This one drank very youthful and primary but all the material is there for this to be a fantastic bottle down the road. It showed much more producer and vineyard than it did the vintage. There was none of the overt greenness that you can often get with 2011’s. Along with Rousseau, Dujac and Tremblay, MG’s 2011’s are very impressive.

After an initial shyness it does reveal itself after a multi hour decant and begins to waft from the glass with aromas of dark fruit, florals and spices. On the palate it’s deep, elegant and pure with fine grained tannins, excellent focus and delineation. But you can tell it wishes to resume its slumber. It often went back and forth from showing great fruit expression to then aromas of woodsmoke and savory herbs. But the herbal qualities are not at all off putting and just add to complexity. I would love to check in on this again with more bottle age. It is clear that it will have a lot to offer those with more patience than me. — 3 years ago

It is the perfect wine to enjoy with fish to chicken. Plenty of flavor minus the heavy California oak. After I open a bottle, It just magically disappears. And it’s a bargain given the price was just $23. — 3 months ago

It says Tremblay-Marchive, which I think is the estate where the fruit is from, but it’s made by Domaine des Malandes. Nose has classic seashelly limestone with a bit of brothiness. The citrusy fruit has a slight herbal edge. Crisp and balanced, though not especially deep. — 7 months ago

Nice, humble, pear notes and apricot, some zest. Not flashy but no errors either. — 2 years ago
