Une Année Brewery
Gilbert et Christine Felettig
Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2017
Wow! Superbe vin. Fruits noirs, un tout petit peu de boisé encore, anis étoilée. Une bouche pleine, gourmande, puissante mais avec classe et élegance, superbe texture soyeuse, très long en bouche. 93-94
Grogeous bottle, dark fruit, spices, a touch of oak still. Full bodied butmwith such a superb texture, silky, classy and very lengthy. — 3 years ago
Alain Gras
Saint-Romain Chardonnay 2016
Once again very nice, a touch buttery and with some lemon zest, fresh and nice vivid and energetic structure. 90-91
Magnifique et complet encore une fois, touche beurrée et citronnée, tout en fraîcheur et saveur ayant une belle charpente d’acidité bien dosée. 90-91 — 4 years ago

Domaine François Cotat
La Grande Côte Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2009
Nez riche avec une forte impression sucrée que l’on retrouve en bouche aussi, gras, rond avec un peu d’acidité, finale avec de l’alcool et comme un sucre résiduel, 89. Clairement identifié comme Cotat.
Blind tasting lunch 2009 theme. Nose with strong sugar and sweetness impression that we find on the round and fairly fat palate, a little bit of acidity to balnce it but a finish with some alcool and residual sugar, clearly identified as F. Cotat. 88-89 — 3 years ago
Buisson-Charles
Les Cras Meursault 1er Cru Chardonnay 2015
Superb Meursault, fresh, elegant, classy yet rich and full with a dense and savoury texture, great length and a finish that leaves us wanting more.
Superbe Meursault, riche, frais, fin, élégant mais riche, plein wt savoureux, une belle densité tout en étant minéral avec une très belle longueur et une finale qui fait qu’on en redemande. 92-93

Château Pontet-Canet
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2001
Textboox Bordeaux, toujours la meme constance avec PC. Café, cuir animal, graphite, une touche végétale. Belle longueur en bouche et en finale. — 2 years ago
Saviah Cellars
Une Vallée Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2019
Was this a Rhône blend in a previous vintage, or was I rating another wine? Perhaps the varietals change from year to year, so long as it represents “one valley”, i.e. Walla Walla. Regardless, this vintage is a nice Bordeaux style blend, 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc. Good stuff! It’s a big wine with balanced acidity. I enjoyed this as a cocktail wine. The mouthfeel is rich and thick, but not cloying. The use of oak is admirably restrained. It appreciated in flavor after some decanting. — 3 years ago

The label was in absolute tatters but all other signs appeared to be good with this bottle. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 1990 Grand Année Rosé pours a deep coral color with very little mousse that dissipates in the glass quickly. On the nose, this was funky initially so we tossed it in the decanter which freshened it up. After 30min, it was positively singing! Desiccated strawberry, crème brûlée, pink flowers, and fino sherry. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. This showed remarkable power which was so impressive. I can’t say I’ve ever had a Rosé with quite this amount of age but boy did it ever work. If anyone has any of these laying around; I might suggest giving it a splash in the decanter for 30min first. Drink now. — 2 months ago
