Had to see what this was about. Featured in Somm 3. Bright and stemmy on pop and pour. Red berries and spice tones coming in hot initially. Absolutely reads new world. Softens with time in the glass. Tasty and sense heightening. — a month ago

Clean, floral and fresh, some oily hints and also some smoked trout impressions. Yellow fruit with some bitterness. This is a Viognier for dinners, razor sharp — 4 years ago

Iconic spring season champagne. There are many reasons everyone loves this stuff - Grand Cru fruit, 36 months on lees, Billecart’s unique vinification process - but the best reason is that it is just so darn delicious. Tonight, the bouquet was intense and very much like a Chablis Grand Cru. Upon pouring into the glass, one notices the fine, elegant mousse rising from the bottom. Then the first sip - strawberries and pear with undertones of nuanced brioche and yeast. The style here is elegant and finessed. Beautiful juice! Tonight’s bottle disgorged in May, 2018. 50/30/20 chard/PN/PM, 9g/l dosage, 40% reserve wine. You will be hard pressed to find a better bottle of champagne in the $75-$90 price range. Well done!

Light straw gold. Tight nose at first. With an hour of air this blossomed to show notes that show a cross of buttered toast and citrus. Rich and powerful in the mouth. With more air the nose resembles a bowl of bread dough rising. The complexity is amazing. Reinforces how some champagnes need that air to shine. — 7 years ago

At about seven years of age this wine feels developed and ready to drink up. Savoury with hints of blood and meat combined with sour berries and rhubarb. — 4 years ago

See previous notes from 21 weeks ago. The warm 2015 vintage giving more tropical fruit flavours like pineapple. Still vibrant and fresh with medium minus acid. Great to drink now. Can’t see the point of extended cellaring. Looking forward to trying some 2014 Premier Crus from young Benjamin Leroux who is a rising star in Burgundy. — 5 years ago

Stellar. Explodes out of the glass. Raspberry, plum, definitely some darker fruits here like currants which I don’t normally find in pinot. Sultry and seductive in a make eye contact across the room way. Moves into like a rose petal arena with just a hint of black pepper. 25% whole bunch and it shows texturally. Really good wine — 6 years ago

Not the team’s I wanted to see, so I’ll just stick to the basics. Went well with some A5 coffee crusted New York Strip, the steak 🥩 is so rich you don’t want to waste it on a fruity wine

The 2010 is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot. The vineyard is situated on deep gravel deposits in the Macau and Ludon villages of the appellation and has 9,600 vines per hectare.

Vinious 93 The 2010 Cantemerle is vigorous and open on the nose, a mixture of red and black fruit with cedar and humidor scents. I admire the focus and detail. The palate is rounded in texture on the entry. This is a plumper, richer, more fruit-driven 2010 with a lush finish on the context of the growing season. You could broach this now, although I would prefer to leave it another three or four years. This is another excellent wine and candidate for most over-performing cru this vintage. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal. — 4 years ago

For me this is a astonishing wine, this is pure elegance and quality! The winemaker has done a awesome job, this is burgundy style Chardonnay from the highest level! A Lafon nose and great balanced wine! Love it! — 5 years ago

One of the very best Bourgogne Blancs I’ve had. A steal at $39.99 when you price Burgundy.

Lemon, lime candy/zest, pineapple, stone fruit, caramel notes, beautiful white spice, excellent viscosity, cream, buttery quality, honeysuckle, vanillin, powdery chalkiness, sea fossils, great volcanics touch of fresh herbs, limestone minerals, yellow lilies, fruit blossoms and spring flowers. The acidity is magnificent. The round, lush, well balanced, elegant & polished finish is gentle and persistent for minutes.

I will take this wine and its style over than ANY CA Chardonnay I’ve had!

Pierre Boisson is really bringing it. The Bourgogne’s 15-17 all drink like a more expensive Meursault. Their wines will be rising in price. Buy all you can now.

Slightly over chill & decant for a better experience.
