La Cave d'Augustin Florent

Bourgogne-Aligoté 2023

Lovely grocery store purchase $10E. Perfect with roasted chicken with lemon, shallots, garlic potatoes and mushrooms that I cooked. Pretty darn reasonable after lunch out yesterday that somehow went off the rails with blue lobster. I’ve never heard of blue lobster. Plan to learn. — 17 hours ago

Volnay Pinot Noir 2017

Expressive nose of sour cherries with tertiary hints of leather. There is certain warmth, ripeness, a touch of salinity. I really enjoyed it, showing young this 2017, more than 7 years later — 6 months ago

Vieilles Vignes Meursault Chardonnay 2022

Nose: elegant tropicality. White flowers.

Palate: elegantly tropical. Delicious. Very lovely. Some white flowers.

Still has some oak spice. Better in 18 months. But good now. Most people won’t be bothered.

Vieilles Vignes Pommard Pinot Noir 2021

Needs 2 years but a great wine. Still has a bit of oak. Not undrinkable now but better in 2 years.

Really clean and intense midseason cherry fruit. Some cherry spice. So clean. Savory a bit. Sweet cherry fruit. Very good deliciousness.

Wow, just wow. Nose is just stunning. Green apple, some sweet oak, butter and wet earth. Smells like a scene in nature. Unreal mineral stank. Florent is on a white wine mission these days. Palate is super precise and lean but also has an unreal silken texture and is just insane juicy and super clean. This finish pitter patters forever. Wow. The fruit is crunchy and crystalline. There is a dense structure that ensures aging. Huge concentration and my god this is so juicy and piquant. Unreal. So happy how Florant has turned a corner. Finish leaves you wanting more. Smells like apple pie now with air and gains finesse. But still 1er Cru Meursault level. Really amazing textures in this wine with air. Mature textures. So impressive. — 4 months ago

La Taupine Monthélie 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2014

Alas the wood has outlasted the fruit here.

The fruit is still lovely. Balanced cherry fruit. But there is still a tinge of wood which I find irritating. Let’s see how this airs.
