Domaine Sylvain Pataille

Fleur de Pinot Marsannay Pinot Noir Rosé 2027

Unique in that Sylvain Pataille only uses his best grapes in this Rose. I was lucky enough to get a couple of bottles. Shared with Matt and Paul. Stunning bottle. Tart red berries, forest floor, a little tannic. Changed in the glass as it got air, revealing more layers and subtle nuances. — 9 days ago

Yes @Peter van den Besselaar my wife and I just came back from the Rothko exhibition in Paris, bought this champagne from a fantastic shop in the 13th arr. called Delicatessen Cave, well worth a visit 🙌

Château Fleur Cardinale

Grand Cru Classé Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

Drinking so well. A great wine and a first for me. It’s got so much freshness and energy is the headline. Nose is cassis, vanilla, tobacco, spice and some hints of black fruits. Also a background of awesome minerality. A plump nose which belies what comes on the palate. It’s rich but just teeming with energy and so much black and red fruit that is super crunchy and luscious. Gorgeous clarity to the minerality and a freshness I haven’t tasted in Bordeaux maybe ever. I really like the vibe of this wine. The finish keeps pumping. Very very impressive. It’s also so sappy on the finish and just outrageously complex. — 15 days ago
