Bellevue Morgon Gamay 2022

Black & red cherries, medium heft Morgon with a gossamer smooth palate helped by a robust decant (2+) hours. Paired with a garlicky lemon shrimp main with orzo, & did just fine — 9 days ago

Yum, Bouland is so good! Met him once early on in San Francisco at an importer event where he was pouring (Eric Texier got a few into the event). Great producer!!

Yes, & was reminded these bottles really demand air & aging, or both. This bottle was so much more satisfying with a longer decant & a bit more age@Doug Powers

Vieilles Vignes Morgon Gamay 2017

Columbia County 2.0: interesting drinking this day after a German Pinot, as I found them surprisingly related. A fave Beaujo producer’s Morgon, also a cooler tone & elegant. Blackberries & cassis, darker berries and a fine grittiness to integrated tannins. I like this drinking window (6 yrs) but imagine several if not more left. — 4 years ago

Chaumes des Perrières Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay 2023

Lyle Fass
9.4

This is the closest I’ve ever come to Coche-Dury in a glass without actually drinking Coche-Dury. Same electric mineral snap. Same charged, high-tension citrus and stone. Same feeling of a white wine lit from within, like the whole thing is running on buried voltage. I am now on a mission to find this wine, because once you taste a Bourgogne Blanc that opens a little side door to Meursault heaven, you do not just shrug and move on. — 4 months ago

Generations Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

This Cabernet begins with a glistening dark amethyst color followed by a bouquet of sweet cigar, clove, ripe blackberry, and a pinch of Madagascar vanilla. On the palette, blackberry, jammed plum, French oak and tobacco…a full bodied wine with an exceptional finish that continues to linger until the next sip! — 2 years ago
