Gavi is a great example of how fickle Wine trends are. In my lifetime, the perception of Gavi followed the character arc of Regina George from “Mean Girls”. #spoileralert Gavi has always been good! — 8 years ago
This vintage and style combine to spell RESTRAINED. Floral and mineral notes are interwoven with tight (almost austere) fruit notes. Far more Burgundian than I remember. Of course, his French chards are this style too. Over all, a little disappointed but appreciating the finesse in a fickle vintage. — 9 years ago
2nd bottle of this same night. Great but not nearly as good as the first bottle. Burgundy is so fickle — 9 years ago
Just tasted new batch! Pompadour Brut Rosé celebrates the life and times of Madame de Pompadour (mistress of Louis XV) credited with introducing Champagne to the court. Blend of 58% Pinot Noir, 42% Chard, aromas of floral strawberry scents with yeasty notes on fine mousse and bubble flow. On the palate flavors of raspberry and strawberry with vanilla yeasty tones. Well balanced, long ending in true brut style, dry with yeasty mineral character. A joy to drink. Tasting Sample! — 4 years ago
Throwback to my formative years. Reminded me why juice became my mistress. — 7 years ago

A rich Gevry-Chambertin from Lucien Boillot. I've had a lot of Pierre's brother, Louis (married to a true Mistress of Wine, Ghislaine Barthod), but this is the first of my Lucien Boillot's made by Pierre. I think I like the quality and price:quality a bit more than the Louis Boillot (his prices have gone up since he left the Rosenthal stable). Fragrant, dark cherry, cranberry, earth, and some leather and mushroom on the nose and palate. Clean, deep red color. — 9 years ago
89 pts A wise man once said, Margaux is a beautiful mistress. True she is mystical, like a dream she is just out of reach and so alluring and this is insane value. A very good Margaux vintage.
Entering its window now, the nose is med and very alluring, earthy black fruit, cedar and wet tea bags, toffee whiffs, it needs focus and is pure pleasure to concentrate on every step.
The palate is dark fruit, pencil lead with more tea leaves, good complexity, excellent intensity and a finish which is broad, long and elegant integrated tannin.
Very much enjoyed. — 9 years ago
Well damn isn’t this drinking pretty??? August 2021 and I’m glad it’s ready when I am.
Some beautiful and sexy mistress perfumed funk. Dried spices and dried flowers. Nice earthy vibes too. Honestly, this one could go down as an all-time memory. Don’t tell my wife! — 5 years ago
We loved this wine. Opened it and the St Patrice Chat du Pape as an experiment. Had FFT porterhouse one night and homemade pizzas the second. Best description - St Patrice is your wife, comfortable and loving and smooth, and Trevallon is your mistress, sexy and edgy and delicious. — 6 years ago

Blend of 58% Pinot Noir, 42% Chardonnay, aromas of floral strawberry scents with yeasty notes on good mousse and bubble flow. On the palate raspberry and strawberry flavors with round yeasty tones adding bits of vanilla. Well balanced, lingering ending in true brut style, dry with yeasty mineral character.

White burgundy is fickle but when in the right mood it is fantastic. This was in a good mood indeed. — 9 years ago
@Robert Takahashi thanks to my brother in-law for bringing this gem!
He decanted overnight and we poured it today. Absolutely beautiful legs on this mistress. Thin and long! The nose is spectacular as well. Oak immediately grabs your attention. Blackberry, & licorice follows. The tannins are there and to be expected from such a young Dunn but they soon fade away as your thoughts lead the way to the next sip of enjoyment. Definitely a big boy!! Thank goodness I have my big boy pants on right now!!!! 😜👍🍷🍷👍😜 — 10 years ago

2022 vintage. Medium/medium heavy body. Nice, initial draw and mid-palate kaleidoscope but a shunted finish. Started off nearly identical to the 2022 Gary's Vineyard same producer/vintage but lacking the epic, back end, guitar solo outro. Brand new so would like to retaste in 8-12 months. We all know how fickle the pinot noir grape can be. 04.02.25. — a year ago
