Le Lapin

Domaine Leflaive

Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay 2002

The 2002 pours a bright yellow color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing and basically a meatball right down the middle of the plate. Powerful notes of ripe pineapple, some ripe stone fruit, lemon curd, marzipan, butter, minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and has a great acid and mineral zip that helps cut through the density. This is a Chardonnay that so many producers desperately want to make but there are so few that can execute with this level of precision. Of the three wines in this flight it was sort of overshadowed early by the Sauzet and the Leroy Aligote…but that changed when the food came. Paired with the roulade du lapin, this was without equal. Drink now through 2032. — 9 days ago

2010 vintage.
Dried, dark Lapin cherries. Blueberries and red fruit with earthiness but not overpowering.
Tannins and acidity have melded beautifully.
Still crisp on the finish.

Château Le Puy

Expression Originale Du Terroir Côtes de Francs Red Bordeaux Blend 1989

This fell somewhere between an old Burgundy and an even older new world Syrah (made me think of a old Alban Edna). Stinky but alluring nose, so much going on I couldn’t really capture it all. My head was spinning a bit (last wine of night but it was exceptional, new for me).
Mon Lapin (and Vanya if she’s there…) essential for any wino/foodie visit to Montreal!

Whoa…never had Le Puy with that much age before. But I imagine it being an experience similar as you described.

It was pretty special, wish I had tasted a bit earlier in the incredible evening!

Wolfe & Wilde

Young Love Rose Pinot Noir 2018

Side project by the remarkable Tyler Harlton, one of the best wine makers in the Okanagan. Super funky nose, a touch of smoke, fruit punch, lapin cherry. Dry with grippy tannins on the finish. Outstanding. — 6 years ago

Casanova di Neri

Tenuta Nuova Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2007

2007 vintage.
Dried Bing and Lapin cherries on the nose with hints of fig.
Plums, dark cherries, tobacco, sandalwood and dried roses.
Smooth well developed tannins combining well with persistent, yet still mouth watering acidity.
Such a gentle, smooth and refined finish.
It hurts me to say this is my last bottle.
