Saint Charles Du Roy

Domaine Tour Saint-Michel

Feminessence Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2017

2017 vintage. @ Mister A’s Restaurant, San Diego-Les Caves de St. Charles CDP dinner. Initially, an absolute ballbuster. Massive tannins with a modicum of velveteen fruit at the end of a long tunnel. After two hours? Surprise! Change partners and the nearsome, fearsome tanninfest coalesced into the velveteen fruitfest. Remarkable concentration, tho, from start to finish over the course of the dinner. Best newer-vintage CDP, out of roughly 200, that I’ve had in the last two years. Just a remarkable chameleon. Supposedly 50/50 Grenache/Syrah. Worth the hunt. 11.16.23. — 2 years ago

Clos du Roy Marsannay Pinot Noir 2016

Powerful dark fruit. A hefty Pinot, but not in a new world way. Maintains lift and freshness — 5 years ago

Wow! Concentrated fruit, body galore, black fruit and some oak surrounded by minerality &’ripe fruit. Gorgeous. — 2 months ago

Domaine Robert Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux

Nuits-Saint-Georges Pinot Noir 2019

Incredible vintage for Lachaux. With even more clarity and definition than the ripe 2018 rendition, 2019 Les Proces is gorgeous tonight, explosively aromatic, and showing incredible purity, elegance and finesse. The palate is pure silk, with minerality and verve and serious depth for a village wine. Magical things happening at this Domaine. Bravo Charles Lachaux. — 2 years ago

I love this wine. So good and so unique. Nose is so mineral. Hint of butter as well. Some smoke and flintiness as well. Palate is racy, rich and so pure. Great focus and length. So clean. This wine could get a stain out of a carpet. Superb freshness, concentration and purity. Long and sapid. — 3 years ago

@Andrew Schirmer with air it’s really come alive. More cut and finesse. I want to age some but I never do.
