Les Parcelles Brut Champagne Blend

Another great Champagne selection from one of my favorite shops, MCF Rare Wine. 70% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay, 10% Pinot Meunier. Only 1670 cases per year. Lively acid, bubbles, texture and nuanced apple and citrus fruit under the dryness. For a very good price too. Beats many known producers with inflated price tags. — a year ago

Château La Rose Figeac

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1990

1990 vintage. An under the radar Pomerol, bought in 1961 by the grandfather of current owner Nathalie Despagne. He also owned La Tour Figeac in Saint-Emilion and La Rose Figeac is just across the Saint-Emilion border. The 4,56 hectare vineyard consists of 9 parcels (all within 500 m of each other) on gravelly sandy soils and is planted with Merlot (90%) and Cabernet Franc. My bottle had a near-perfect level and as the smell was a bit musty upon opening, but there was still good fruit in the mouth and the colour looked very solid, I took the risk to decant it. It turned out to be a wise decision as the wine evolved positively, even if the tannins remained a bit rustic. On the other hand it still has lively fruit and freshness, it is a testimony to the ageing potential of Bordeaux wines and an attractive food wine. Abv. 12,8% . — 3 years ago

Nathalie Larroque Gaillac Perlé Mauzac Muscadelle 2021

Blend of 80% Mauzac and 20% Muscadelle, the name “Perle” comes from effervescent crispness. On the palate flavors of apple and peach with notes of sweet herb. Medium finish ending with fruit and herb character. Sustainably farmed. — 8 months ago

Domaine le Briseau (Nathalie Gaubicher)

Mama Mouchi Pineau d'Aunis

Pineau d’aunis for the win! What a beautiful wine. Berries and cracked white pepper for days. There’s great tannin and good mouthfeel. Perfect food wine. Also day two it was great out of the fridge with some chill on the patio. A little complex and earthy for day drinking but so good. Also the price point for this one is great. Interestingly I do not see a vintage. — 2 years ago

Bourgogne Côte Chalonnaise 2017

Surprised by the lower ratings. This is a pop and pour wine I would always want in my cellar. — 3 years ago
