Domaine des Croix (David Croix)

Les Bressandes Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2019

For me, David Croix, without a doubt, crafts the most compelling wines from Beaune, and this 19’ Bressandes was certainly exemplary. I absolutely loved it. It wasn’t bombastic and I reckon could easily be overlooked in a blind, but it embodied everything I love about red Burgundy in its most classic form. Not indulgent, fresh, fine, and refreshingly pure, with not a trace of overripe sucrosity to distract from its understated beauty.

The nose unfurled with cool, fresh fruits - a lively mélange of black and red berries layered with subtle bunchy aromas. Delicate florals weave through, underscored by the quiet intrigue of black tea and the chalky minerality that only air revealed. On the palate, it was all substance without weight, medium-bodied yet vibrant, its energy carried by a bright acidity that invigorated the senses. Spices and dried herbs unfolded gently in the mid-palate, giving way to a finish of fine, resonant salinity. What a beaut!

Château La Croix St. Georges

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

Vintage 2009 | This is a Pomerol with a certain strictness. We tasted it blind next to a left bank wine but the tasters did not recognize this as a right bank wine. It seems to be made for the long haul, with clear tannines even after 15 years. Good integrated wood with a light vanilla impression. — 3 months ago

Monopole Clos du Château Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir 2016

Stunningly great. Lots of depth and solid bones but the heavenly enveloping feeling was what put this over the top. The fruit was well developed. — a month ago

La Colombiere Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir 2004

Medium dark rubi robe, slightly faded brick on the sides. Nose of spices, mint and cherries. Very light on its feet with medium bodied feel, elegant and complex, spicy and floral. Truly excellent. We bought a case in 2007 and bottles have been in the cellar all these years. This is truly excellent and no rush. We had diner tonight to comemorate Adriana’s birthday. — 2 months ago
