Les Classiques Bourgogne Chardonnay 2019

Bright, medium-acid, medium-body, non-buttery Chardonnay. Used half for a pasta sauce and (very easily) drank the rest. — 3 years ago

Domaine de la Presidente

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grands Classiques Blanc 2015

Bright straw gold. Abundant nose of white flowers and dried yellow tropical fruit. Full-bodied palate echoes the nose adding white pepper, honeycomb, nuts, sweet corn, and a host of smaller layers. A firm backbone of acidity runs throughout from entry to finish. We all know CdP as a red wine, but its white counterpart should be on everyone’s list. The offering by Domaine de la Presidente (from the classic 2015 vintage) is an excellent entry point into this facet of Rhône wines. Well suited to pair with roasted chicken, pork loin, swordfish, game fowl, or root/green vegetable combinations. Drink now through 2025. — 5 years ago

Domaine du Bac

Red Blend 2016

Roussillon trip #1
Grenache/Syrah blend, biodynamic style. Dark dress still young and lively. Cuvée with a medium plus body, with beautiful spicy and roasted notes that perfectly serve a fruity (black and red) still lively and juicy. It is both easy and refined. Refreshed a little, the 15 degrees are absolutely not felt. A wine that can please classic mouths as well as lovers of natural wines.

Assemblages Grenache/Syrah style biodynamique, naturel. Robe sombre encore jeune et vive. Cuvée au corps moyen plus, avec de belles notes épicées et torréfiées qui sertissent à merveille un fruité (noir et rouge) encore vif et juteux. C’est à la fois gourmand et raffiné. Rafraîchi un peu, les 15 degrés ne se font absolument pas sentir. Un vin qui pourra plaire aux bouches classiques comme aux amateurs de vins naturels.

Presqu'ile Winery

Presqu'ile Vineyard Chardonnay 2016

Slightly funky nose at first and then shifts to more classic Chard aromas. The acidity is backward at first and then it opens up and gets more tension to go along the nice roundness and freshness, pretty good balance and nice wine without being great. 88-89

Nez un peu bizarre à l’ouverture mais cela s’estompe sur des arômes classiques de Chardo. La tension est un peu en retrait au départ mais avec de l’air l’acidité se montre plus présente pour en faire un bel ensemble, ouvert, assez rond et frais, rien d’exceptionnel mais très bien.
