J.L. Chave Sélection Farconnet Hermitage Syrah

Black olive and earth notes. Very approachable already in its young age. Lacking a bit of punch to make it special — 3 days ago

'Ma Belle-Fille' Chardonnay 2006

Should not have kept it this long - the pain of offsite storage but it’s still very nice. The nose is light/gone, buttery smooth with a light finish. Can’t recall how much acid this had early on in its life but it’s only there lightly now. Not dead but I’m drinking these asap. — 3 months ago

Circa J.L. Chave Sélection Saint-Joseph Marsanne Roussanne

This 2022 is next level. Have had several Rhône whites recently and this is a standard bearer. So focused. About editing and restraint with subtle hints of this and that without hitting you over the with anything. Dominated by Rousanne which explains its elegance and subtlety. Has a honeyed fresh slightly poached apricot and apple combo with whiffs of baking spices. Great Lacey quartz structure. Beguiling.. perfect with scallops, acorn squash and rice pilaf — 15 days ago

Cuvée Reservée Sélection Particulière Pays d'Oc Pinot Noir 2022

Cherry baby! While I tend to prefer the earthiness of Oregon Pinots, this French value slays. Great for the price and pairs with virtually anything — 4 months ago
