La Mer A Boire

Domaine Julien Meyer

Mer et Coquillages Alsace AOC 2021

Very light and principally mineral - almost more like a muscadet than riesling — 4 months ago

Fleur de Mer

Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend 2022

A quick tartness of strawberries. Very dry. A quick finish. — 10 months ago

Le Clos du Caillou / Domaine du Caillou

Nature Côtes du Rhône Red Rhone Blend 2021

Bright light purple dress. Pure explosive nose on fruits (red and black) and flowers, typical of carbonic maceration. In mouth the first is light, airy, confirming the nose; carried by a beautiful necessary freshness balancing the little terroir extraction. A modern, "natural" wine, on the fruits at first fond that does not prevent a certain complexity from expressing itself on a peppery and mineral finish. A very beautiful juice to drink from the aperitif, which blindly could pass for a rosé.

Robe légère violine éclatante. Nez pure explosifs sur les fruits (rouge et noirs) et fleurs, typique des vins en macération carbonique. En bouche l’abord est léger, aérien, confirmant le nez; porté par une belle fraîcheur nécessaire équilibrant le peu de terroir extrait. Un vin moderne, “nature”, sur les fruits á l’abord friand n’empêchant pas une certaine complexité de s’exprimer sur une finale poivrée et minérale. Un très beau jus à boire des l’apéro, qui à l’aveugle c’est pourrait passer pour un rosé.

Reserve Monterey County - Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay 2021

I’d only had their unoaked Chard until now. Turns out they are good at both. There’s so much minerality and a sublime smoothness and I imagine sipping Orangina in the sun by a pebbly brook. — 8 months ago

Val de Mer Crémant de Bourgogne Brut Nature Rosé

It’s 100% Pinot but…very good. From Chablis and mineral. Would appreciate a more intense mousse. — a year ago

Saumur Cabernet Franc 2020

The charm of the Cab-franc de Loire in the expression of a cuvée to drink on youth. Variety notes in the spotlight: raspberry, violet, slate. 2020 is concentrated, bearing the stigma of solar vintages with almost liquorice notes. Blindly, it almost feels like you're in the Rhône-Nord (without pepper) Fine and gourmet. Drink refreshed 13/15 degrees.

Le charme du Cab-franc de Loire dans l’expression d’une cuvée à boire sur la jeunesse. Notes variétales à l’honneur: framboise, violette, ardoise. 2020 est concentré, portant les stigmates des millésimes solaires avec des notes presque réglisse. A l’aveugle on se croirait presque dans le Rhône-Nord (sans le poivre) Fin et gourmand. À boire rafraîchi 13/15 degrés.

Val de Mer Chablis Chardonnay 2021

Smells and starts great. But, this just does not have the depth and body I was hoping for, and so the overall impression is slightly thin and perhaps even a bit green. Not bad per se but just not quite what I look for in good Chablis. — 10 months ago

Les Charmes Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2018

Super beau Chambolle, a eu besoin d’air, fruits rouges et noirs, assez dense et soyeux comme texture, croquant, assez tight et jeune encore mais s’est montré superbe une fois ouvert avec de l’air un peu. Bien hâte de boire les prochaines dans quelques années. 92-93

Gorgeous Chambolle more on the powerful and tight side right now, needed air to show the gorgeous red and dark fruit, impressive texture, silky and enveloping, balanced and needs more time for the next bottles but great potential.

L'Air de Mer Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2016

Lovely bing cherry fruit on both the nose and palate. A touch of minerality and soft tannins. Very pretty.

Had this with fresh fettuccine in sage brown butter sauce, which was okay, but something a bit more complex would have been a better pairing.
