Marcel Lapierre

Morgon Gamay 2023

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2023 (S) pours a deep ruby/purple with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe strawberry, Bing cherry, red and purple flowers, red rope licorice, rocky earth and cool spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. This vintage of Lapierre shows the warmth of the vintage and oozes generosity. In some ways, this reminds me of the 2015 vintage. Drink now through 2033+. — 3 months ago

@Somm David T They’re up there. Certainly Top 6 for me. Foillard, Metras, Guy Breton, Thivin, Roilette and a few of the new comers are all right up there for me

Château Siran

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend

Vintage 2019 | I put this Siran in a tasting for my winesociety mates, but they say it is infanticide, way too young. Closed and tannic, though I gave it a while aeration. After 30 hours aeration it gives much more pleasure and greatness comes through. A glorious bouquet with classic notes, like vanilla, mocca, chocolate, tobacco and red fruit. Refined Margaux taste. I think GCC quality. — 2 months ago

V. S. A. Limoux

Grande Cuvée 1531 de Aimery Méthode Traditionnelle Crémant de Limoux

This was the Rosé of the Cremant. It’s got plenty of apricot and other stone fruit on the nose and in the mouth. Complex and interesting. Beautiful in the glass. A great sparkling wine at a good price. — 4 months ago
