Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

Saint-Joseph Syrah 2022

Opened this a few years too early. Dark and brooding. Olives, violet, blackberry. Wild and savory. Would love to try this again in a few years! — 17 hours ago

Clos Saint Jean

Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2016

From a magnum, shortly before my son’s wedding. Wonderful, but I felt that it would be even better in 5-6 years. — a month ago

Vieilles Vignes Brouilly Gamay 2022

Brouilly, to me, is the fruitiest of the crus, and this is fruit in spades. So tangy and fruity. A bit of barnyard funk on the nose adds complexity. Very zingy and fruity in the mouth. Downright tangy!

UPDATE: After a couple hours of air, this is getting funkier and funkier. Clearly a low- or no-sulfite wine. I Vacuvin-ed a bit to see whether it will even be drinkable on night 2. My guess is it won’t be. (Further update: it was still good but it became clear to me that the funkiness was I was getting on night one was actually brett, which was somehow easier for me to identify the next night.)

I visited Lapalu once when a few of us spent a day tagging along with Eric Texier to his favorite Beaujolais producers!!

Domaine des Terres Dorées (Jean-Paul Brun)

Côte de Brouilly Gamay 2011

This aged Beaujolais is just gorgeous, crushed red berries, minerals, floral, great acidity, long, lingering finish, could easily evolve another 5 years in a cold cellar, truly an outstanding wine from a great Beaujolais vintage!! — 20 days ago
