Simple Solace

Ampodium Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2019

Fairly simple and straightforward, I wish this wine was more gutsy than just appealing to taste soft and more fruity. Shows hints of what could be though so it is true to Syrah character. — 4 months ago

Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2020

Une belle bouteille que ce « simple » Sonoma Coast provenant de 4 vignobles de la région, Flowers que j'ai connu grâce au livre 1001 vins. Un nez bien agréable de beurre, mie de pain, amande et chèvrefeuille. La bouche est intense, longue avec une bonne acidité malgré un certain gras avec du beurre. — 5 months ago

Arpent Vouvray Sec Chenin Blanc 2020

Some chalky notes before a masterclass of a nose with lemon, honey, white flowers, fresh white muscat grapes too. The palate is outstanding... There is, as expected, a massive acid drive but it's challenged by lemony, even zesty notes all along, a good width and some matter, a great, vivid mouthfeel with a zing, and long, very long finish with zesty notes and some chalky touches. This is a great, yet simple chenin. I could make it my casual white 😊 — 2 years ago

Domaine Leroy

Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2017

Very nice surprise for me given my expectations were low for this generic high priced Burgundy. But we were aurprised by the generius red fruit, cherries, nice depth and volume, good acidity and silky tannins with a decent finish in terms of length and flavor. Well balanced and even if the price tag is high, there was some wine in there. Gorgeous. Our son’s dog named “Pinot, (yeah we are passionate about anything that is Pinot) seems to appreciate also.

Une belle surprise, mes attentes n’étaient pas hautes pour ce Bourgogne générique mais le vin nous a surpris par sa profondeur, son fruit rouge généreux, cerises entre autres, sa matière, un beau volume, une belle acidité et des tannins soyeux, une finale de belle longueur pour l’appellation. Très bel équilibre et bien au-dessus d’un simple générique. Bien sur c’est pas donné mais au moins il y avait du vin. Très jolie bouteille. 91-92

La Digoine Côte Chalonnaise Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2018

Absolutely wonderful wine. Nice one to snag from a recent Manhattan Wine sale. Decanted 3+ hours, surprisingly accessible at this stage. Somewhat reticent on the nose, even after the decant. But so nice on the palate - perfect body, lots of red fruit, crunchy tart cherry, excellent acidity that hits very nicely in the mid to late palate that brings good zip. Tannins are there and ever so slightly chunky but doesn’t get in the way at all. Perfect with some simple roast chicken with mushrooms cooked in the chicken fat and jus. — 3 years ago
