This is actually the Vieilles Vignes, and tastes delicate and, well, vielle. — a month ago

@Delectable Wine this is Jean-Marie Fourrier Vosne Romanee Aux Reas Vielle Vigne, which I couldn't find in the database.

Pop and pour. In an excellent place. On the nose: cola, glossy red fruit, pomegranate liqueur, mulberry leaf. On the palate: lovely acidity, savory herbs and blackberry/cherry compote, Still some grainy tannin on the finish. Still somewhat primary, but drinking very well. — 4 years ago

There's a great video on YT on what a Saison is. In short, it's a farmhouse ale (pale or sometimes red) that was historically served to farm workers as a clean source of hydration. Without any distinctive characters and lower in alcohol then, the "Saison" only really gained it's signature when the house in question came into the equation. Also, based on my research, the checkered "Vielle Provision" yellow labels are the export labels.

As it was here, the Dupont Brewery's Saison is generally cloudy, very carbonated via bottle conditioning, zesty and spicy, bitter with a hint of sour, and a dry hoppy finish. For me, this is truly "The beer for all seasons" - the flavours are just so versatile. Perfect for a warm summer afternoon in the park, yet complex enough to pair with a 3-star dish. — 6 years ago

Domaine Coche Dury is arguably the most sought after internationally of white Burgundy domains according to Jasper Morris MW in his tome “Inside Burgundy “. This wine had aromas of Lemon and Citrus flowers. On the palate Lemon juice - lean with mineral and M plus acidity. In hindsight should have left this last one for a few years. A wine of restraint and elegance - a tinge of honey after a while. For the Coche Dury village style only 25% new wood is used. This wine rarity was suggested to me years ago by a former owner of Prince Wine store and Burgundy nut Phillip Rich. Must seek out later vintages. — 8 years ago

Third wine we tasted after our tour at Champagne Billecart-Salmon. Our tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable about the domains history and all the wines.

Light golden yellow and lively. A touch sweet on the nose with marzipan and nutty notes. Medium plus acidity (6.5/10) and medium bodied. Oak definitely felt on the palate with some nutty and cream elements. Some citrus fruits too in the long finish. Drink till 2023.

This bottling was started in 2012 and is made up of equal parts Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunièr. 100% of the fruit is vinified in barrel with on 7 grams of sugar. Aged for 7 years on the lees. — 9 years ago

$33 or so. Allright but not great like all the other Beauj I have had around that price point. Maybe paying $40 really is worth it as this producers vielles morgon is awesome and quite feminine.
Red cherry fruit. Maybe sour cherry not heavy. A pretty lightness with it not as concentrated as some other Beauj but that’s ok. Liking this more with more air. There’s this really interesting alsmot graphite note on the finish that’s pretty cool. Perhaps also a bit of earthy ness on the finish. Just a bit. Thevenet continues to make excellent wine and we are going to have to check more of it out. But at this price is it worth it to go up to the vielle vignes? Probably but this isn’t bad. This does way best out the le boujolais from lapierre for me though. There is more going on. Will have to revisit — 3 years ago

This is a less expensive ($22?) Chablis from Domaine Laroche. But to be honest, I enjoyed it almost as much as the more expensive ($42) Vielle Voye from Laroche. High acid, lemon and granny smith apple. Very crisp. — 5 years ago

Ale-like trappist. Ages ik the bottle. If you like a bit more depth and almond-like bitterness, order the old one, vieux or vielle de Orval.

The younger one is fresher with some citrus hints.
One of my absolute favorites. — 7 years ago

Second wine we tasted after our tour at Champagne Billecart-Salmon. Our tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable about the domains history and all the wines.

Copperish pink and very lively. Layered nose with roses, strawberries, light raspberries, strawberry crème, and a little herbal. High acidity (7/10) but balanced with a slightly smooth mouthfeel. Layered with strawberries, tropical fruits, kiwi, grapefruit and melon. Very fresh and crisp. Medium to medium plus body with a long finish. Drink till 2024.

Made with a minimum of 40% Chardonnay with the remainder split between Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier of which 5 to 8% is from red wine. Aged for around 3 years on the lees.

Thanks @David L for introducing us to this stunning producer! — 9 years ago

From Bertani domains, this is an outstanding reserve verdicchio. Slight salinity reminded me of the love child of a Pessac white BORDEAUX and muscadet. Lovely lees aging and partial ml, an easy to drink food wine that still has a couple more years of effortless joy to offer.

I love the screeching acidity of Chablis. Produced on the domains this has a good balance of fruit and acid. Chardonnay the way it should be. — 8 years ago

Last wine we tasted after our tour at Champagne Billecart-Salmon. Our tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable about the domains history and all the wines.

Bright golden yellow with tons of tiny bubbles. Thick nose with layers of honey, stone and white fruits, almonds and some lemon zest. Well rounded with high acidity (7.5/10) and medium plus to full bodied. Fresh, lively and zesty on the palate with layers of brioche, stone fruits, green apples and a touch of citrus. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2037.

Made up of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay from the same plot every vintage. Only 20% is vinified in oak and also aged for 13 years on the lees. — 9 years ago
