Used the Durand on the cork - soaked to the edge. Decanted for 2 hours.
This wine had some gaminess. Smooth. Fruit was a bit wild and overpowered by the savory flavors.
Paired well with the chicken skewers and onions. Needed complex flavors in the food to pair well.
Good but quite a bit below the Beaucastel — 8 days ago
This is a perfect expression of Pinot! Soft and structured balanced red fruit, spicy, minerality, with a long finish. Simply superb! — a month ago
Beautiful wine for the price. Smooth with red fruits and some smoke. One of my favorites. — a day ago
Solid champagne producer vintage in, vintage out. This is an EB.
I did not pay $177, $89. — a month ago
Had a glass in Champaign. Rude, rustic, woody and sensitive. — a month ago

The 2nd vintage of La Grande Rue we had at the Burgundy dinner in Sydney 6 weeks ago. This was the 2015. A very Vosne Romanee nose - perfumed and enticing. Sweeter fruit than the 2012. Given its prime location as being over the road (La Grande Rue) from La Romanee and La Romanee Conti it doesn’t reflect the quality of those 2 vineyards nor the price thankfully. Amazing that the separation of the width of a narrow road makes such a difference. The 1.65 hectares of La Grande Rue dates back to the 15th century. It is simply a continuation of La Tache - lighter bodied (and lighter priced). — 15 days ago
