Cuvée de l'Ecusson Brut Moselle Luxembourgeoise White Blend

Que de belles bulles à profusion, un vrai Brut ! Version rosée encore meilleur que son petit cousin. Tellement bien équilibré. Parfait ! — 2 years ago

Domaine Alice Hartmann

Chardonnay 2019

A genuinely good Lux Chardonnay, amazingly - rich, buttery, just the right oakiness. Compares very well to a Burgundy. Skip the awful Pinot gris and so-so Riesling this country produces. At Brasserie Guillaume — 5 years ago

Domaine Migot

Vin Gris Côtes-de-Toul Rosé Blend 2019

Wine 11/12 (Pinot Noir / Gamay)

Nose has dried strawberry, cold watermelon, wet raspberries and minor green herbs, quite delicate yet powerful.

Palate has dried strawberry, juicy peach, sandstone with medium-light acidity and medium finish. Really a great wine, so light yet quite finessed.

My first Côtes de Toul, will not be my last!

Once again it is notable that I have made one full trip around the Sun earlier this week. We had our small, social bubble team to the house for celebrating my getting older and somewhat less flexible in advancing age...Whatever will be done when I creast 50? Well, at least it's several years until needing manage that concern.

We enjoyed well-salted Ribeyes (Kinderhook Farm - Valatie, NY, prepared 48h in advance), turning to a beautiful medium-rare after a mere 12m of grill time and smashed, small red potatoes with capers (yeah try it, don't judge me yet). None of the bottles were particularly planned as 'steak wines'; we didn't care as it really was a wine nerd-fest of grapes/regions, from Burgenland, Austria to Brittany, France. Wine and food were on individual plateaux today. This was the vom Boden Spring Experience case, expertly curated by Stephen Bitterolf, and well received by our tasting crew.

Domaine Lelievre

Leucquois Methode Traditionelle Brut Gamay Noir

Every time i have a sparkling gamay i tell myself i need more sparkling gamay. This is such a tasty sipper, so hard to put down! Dry and acidic with mouthwatering raspberries and watermelon. The bottle is almost gone!

Extra points on this for being inexpensive.

Remi Gauthier

Les Rouges Terres Auxerrois 2018

Nose has under-ripe pineapple, cut yellow apple, yellow raspberry, faint herbal notes and wet, crushed rock.

Palate has saline apple juice, mashed yellow raspberry, dried lemon pith and moist garden soil. Solid acidity and a long finish, fun wine.

An interesting relative to Chardonnay, our first time ever with this grape. One more box checked on the lifetime experience of wine enjoyment and palate training.
