Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2007

A delightful CDP! Full-bodied but not overpowering. Smokey and tangy with a lot of floral notes. Raspberries, kirsch, blackberries, with a satisfying finish. Drinking exceptionally well now. — 3 months ago

Vignes de l'Hospice Saint-Joseph Syrah 2017

What a banger. Elegant nose, smoky. The most notable thing was the tension brought by the tannins. Just perfect. Lip smacking. Great wine for bbq. — 3 months ago

Vieilles Vignes Nuits-Saint-Georges Pinot Noir 2013

2013 | Pinot Noir
Domaine Robert Chevillon; Village Vieilles Vignes
Burgundy; Côte de Nuits, Nuits-Saint-Georges, France
(91-93; drink 2028-38)

Lots of powerful cherry and stem-like notes from a standard vintage, not a glass I'd pass over.

Paired to duck confit (D'Artagnan) over green/red lentils with a hit of Dijon mustard to get the acid balance to perfection.

There are few pairings better than Duck Confit & red burgundy.

Comte de Saint-Hubert Vieilles Vignes Muscadet Sèvre Et Maine Sur Lie Melon de Bourgogne 1999

Surprisingly so youthful so as to wonder whether this will last more than 50 years (it’s 25 years old now and barely evolved), absolutely lovely!! — 7 days ago

@Ira Schwartz, they are still producing, but I have learned from the importer that this vintage was apparently their pinnacle, a unicorn I suppose, I have myself tried a few other vintages and they’re not anywhere near this level (sadly).

This is amazing. I’m cellaring three Pays Nantais Muscadets right now but never imagined the grape could run this long.

Vieilles Vignes Cornas Syrah 2010

Quite deep ruby garnet. Takes a bit of time to get going on the nose , then cassis , black plum , dark cherry , a slightly herbal, earthy, black pepper notes . On the palate quite round , with more dark fruits , earthy sous bois , and a spicy herbal touch , menthol finish . Nice balanced acidity and with rounded , ripe tannins with ok length . Drinking perfectly now and will drink well for another 5-8 years — 3 months ago
