Domaine Francois Bertheau

Les Charmes Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2013

Very perfumed with a touch of spice. On the palate there wasn’t much to it. Lacking depth or complexity yet it did have a pretty long finish. — 7 months ago

Clos des Chênes Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2017

2017 vintage. Last tasted 7.6.25 (9.2) and 1.4.25 (9.3). Opened and decanted. Starting to show that gorgeous, silvery sheen when pouring. Tasted after 30 mins and 1 hour. Flitting about and nor super this or big that. More hint or bit of currently. Reallocating its' portfolio for the long-term vs the short term. Fewer explosive growth stocks tasted and more steady-eddie, blue-chips mixed with bonds in the mix now. Could swear I tasted a REIT in there somewhere. 01.23.26. — 18 days ago

René-Jean Dard & Francois Ribo

Les Rouges des Baties Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2015

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. Black plastic cork; the standard for Dard et Ribo. The 2015 “Les Rouges des Baties” pours a deep, dull ruby/purple with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and some sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of wild black brambles, oil cured olive, roasted meat, purple flowers, black pepper, a mix of organic and inorganic earth and dried herbs. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. An utterly beautiful expression of Crozes-Hermitage and this worked really well with goose from South Dakota. I’m smitten. Drink now through 2035. — 2 days ago
