Les Grands Chaillots Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2021

2021 vintage. Great producer and rarely see such an esteemed one with availability/affordability. Had to pounce. $120 on the local bistro list and was worth every penny. Medium/medium-heavy body. Chilled it down for 15 mins and pounced. Consistent palate representation with a harmonious, zippy cracked black pepper exeunt. Hit the spot perfectly. Didn't pair perfectly with the pork chop (bone in) avec fig/port reduction sauce but didn't care about grub at that point. 7.23.24. — 3 months ago

Cuvée des Grands Côtés Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes Coteaux Champenois Ambonnay Pinot Noir 2017

Never disappoints. Beautiful melange of red fruit, earth, spice and acidity. Full of power but not heavy. As good as some Grand cru’s . Coteaux Champenois is never inexpensive but this has become very pricey . Granted I have not had a large number of still champagne but I have enjoyed the journey. This one is widely considered the king of the hill. — 16 days ago

@Ira Schwartz Interesting Ira. I bought a bottle of the 2020 vintage of this Cuvée last year in a bottle shop in Tuscany. Will be interesting. I paid $574 AUD and I think I got ripped off.
