Lulu Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Passionfruit and grassy notes. Quite good and what you’d expect from a Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. — 3 years ago

Clos de Venise Monopole Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2017

Ripe apple, floral, crisp, energy and some roundness to balance it all. Always Good Chenin from Jacky Blot.

Pommes mures, floral, vif, de l’energie et de la rondeur qui balance le tout. Toujours bon du Jacky Blot.

Domaine Truchot-Martin

Clos de La Roche Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2005

Purchased on release . Shame on me, I did a very poor job of allowing it to show its best. I did not decant this hours before. Aromatically reserved with moments of cherry & cranberry. In the mouth generous acidity but built like a block of marble. Once again only hints of what is there. My first time with Truchot and given the pricing likely my last😢. — 6 months ago

It is extremely difficult to establish the best drinking moment for Bourgogne, especially when you don’t buy it by 6 or 12 and you can experiment…

Château Lilian Ladouys

Saint Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

2018 vintage. This estate was bought by Jacky Lorenzetti in 2007 and the investments are paying off (see also the spectacular quality improvement at their Pauillac estate Pédesclaux). While previous vintages featured a majority of Merlot, this 2018 is a blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37%. Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot. This might very well be the best vintage to date for Lilian Ladouys in a year where Jacky's daughter Manon joined the business. She is highly devoted to organic farming and the Lorenzetti estates are now officially in conversion to organic. Moreover, Lilian Ladouys was promoted to "Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel" status in 2020. An estate to watch and the wines are very affordable too at around 20 euros. Classic nose with ripe cassis and cedar wood, intertwined with a fresh minty aroma. In the mouth the fruit is concentrated and layered with amazing freshness and a solid ripe tannin structure that make the alcohol (abv. 14,5%) go unnoticed. Long mineral finish. Highly recommended. Still very young, give it time to open up or decant. Should age beautifully for at least 15 years. — 3 years ago
