Tight at first, but opens with air. A little nutty with great acidity. Very similar to the 2008 Krug but showing a little tarter. — a year ago

Tarter and more tannic than ‘21 but somehow maybe thinner? Either way, another delicious wine. — 2 years ago

On the tarter side and a bit monolithic, but enjoyable just to sit back with a glass and relax! — 4 years ago

Nice contrast with the Two Hands Shiraz from Barossa valley. Darker, tarter fruit with much stronger backbone but not quite the depth. — 5 years ago

2012 Vintage. Tarter and more acidic than our prior bottle. Bought at auction so possibly poor storage. — 7 years ago

Deep ruby. Tobacco, ash, graphite, tons of French oak. Pyrazene. Rather juicy and just ripe fruit - mix of dark and red currants, and red plums. Tarter on palate. Very structured. Called it a left bank 2018 Margaux……… — 3 years ago

A pleasant, sweeter nose but tarter than expected. Notes of tart cherry, super dark (unsweetened) chocolate, and yes.m, tobacco. Recommend letting this wine breathe for at least 10-15 minutes (even after decanting); it’s really mellowed out and brought out smoother flavors. — 6 years ago

Gold in color, medium+ viscosity, oxidative notes of almonds, marigold, chamomile, yellow flowers, ripe/overripe apricot. Wasabi, high minerality of slate. No oak, slightly botrytis on the nose. Fruits tarter on the palate, citrus, white peach, no oak, hints of residual sugar but still dry, medium body, high acidity, medium alcohol, long finish. — 6 years ago

Fun, bright, acid bomb, gets tarter as it opens. Unfiltered, but clean-ish funk! — 2 years ago

Loved this wine. First smells were tons of strawberries, jammy on the palette. it opened up a lot: Raspberry and vanilla on the nose, tarter than the first sips with more cranberry. Still very well-balanced. Had with bolognese. Good with food or on its own. — 3 years ago

I just love Fleurie wines – they’re gulpably delicious and versatile. Here we have a delightfully-perfumed and bright representation with Anne-Sophie DuBois, Les Cocottes, 2019, ABV 12.5%. 💕👏🍷

This wine is made with Gamay grapes and hails from the Beaujolais Cru appellation of Fleurie. 🇫🇷 The grapes used to produce this wine were farmed organically and grown on the famous pink granite slopes of this region, with a beneficial south-southwest orientation towards the sun ☀️, offering good exposure throughout the growing season, aiding in the ripening process.

This wine was vinified using the whole grape clusters 🍇 and was subject to ‘carbonic maceration’, where fermentation begins initially within the confines of the intact grapes under a blanket of carbon dioxide. This process is known to highlight the purity of fruit characteristics along with customary notes of bubblegum, cinnamon, banana, kirsch, among other expected characteristics.

👁 It’s medium purple with a delicate haze. 👃 On the nose it is light and perfumed with youthful notes of cherry blossom alongside cherry preserves, wild strawberry, kirsch, banana, nutmeg, balanced with mineral notes like wet slate. 👄 On the palate this wine is dry, it has a brighter, tarter flavor profile, with vibrant acidity, a light body, medium alcohol, light tannins, and good fruit concentration. It has a medium finish. 😍😍😍

We’re pairing this wine with tarragon chicken and caprese. 👌👌👌👌
