Absolutely worth the hype. One of the best grower roses. Ripe strawberry, wild herbs, Swiss chard. — 2 months ago

Domaine Gourt de Mautens (Jérôme Bressy)

Rasteau White Rhone Blend 2015

Strong nose of hazelnuts and cloves. Has almost a medicinal quality. This split the group with many finding the 15% alcohol too much.
Served with flammed salmon and asparagus risotto.

Extra Brut Grand Cru Champagne Pinot Meunier 2019

Opened this for a special occasion and frankly, it was a disappointment when first popped. It had energy for sure, but I just found it a little too “sweet” and the oxidative notes too distracting, with some obvious caramel and nuts. Thankfully, it just needed air to shine and by golly, did it shine brightly. The nose somehow blossomed into a perfume of pears, oranges, flowers, spices, flint, and digestives. On the palate, the “sweetness” seemed to melt into a citrus liqueur kind of character and texture. Very mineral-driven, with a saline backbone and stony finish. It does feel quite different from the classic Les Beguines, but rightfully so. The variety, grower, and vineyard’s all different. The Prevost vinous-ity does translate over though. Nevertheless, loved the wine. — 8 months ago

La Closerie Les Béguines Extra Brut Champagne Pinot Meunier

Love LC19. It’s perfect today flaunting deep, powerful layers of ripe orchard fruit with smoky minerals, toasted hazelnuts and exotic spices. The palate is structured and concentrated with a satiny texture and vibrant energy that give way to a long saline and mineral laced finale. Pinot Meunier from the master, it just can’t be matched and this is the best release since LC13 IMO. I’ve heard LC19 imports to the west coast specifically are often mousy, but luckily I’ve never experienced that here on the east coast. — 6 months ago
