Vendanges D'octobre

Domaines Schlumberger

Cuvée Christine Vendanges Tardives Alsace Gewürztraminer 2018

Loved it, so much round fruity body. Was delicious — 2 days ago

Domaine Marcel Deiss

Schoenenbourg Alsace Grand Cru Vendanges Tardives Riesling 2017

For me this is truly one of the great whites of this world. Awesome with these cheeses and some toast and delicious on its own. — 8 months ago

François Cazin (Le Petit Chambord)

Le Petit Chambord Vendanges Manuelles Cour-Cheverny AOC Romorantin 2006

A 2006 late harvest Romorantin from the Loire Valley. Off dry and delicious with food
Beeswax, hazelnuts, honeysuckle (def botrytised)
This wine leads with minerality but has flavors of lemon rind and stone fruit. 🫶

La Grand Comtadine Premières Vendanges Vacqueyras Red Rhone Blend 2017

Dry and complex, medium-bodied but lots of flavor. Leathery and earthy. — 3 years ago

Domaine de Vigneau-Chevreau

Vendanges Manuelles Vigneau Selection Vouvray Chenin Blanc 2022

Some complexity and depth in a decent white wine. Pretty good! — a month ago

Domaine Michel Lafarge

Vendanges Sélectionnées Meursault Chardonnay 2018

2024/8/13-14. This is in a rich style but without much oak influence; ripe lemon, citrus blossom, a bit of butter and stone. It reminds me of Merlin’s wines (though that impression might be heightened because I’m drinking through a tranche of the latter in parallel) — 8 months ago

Vendanges Nocturnes Classic Merlot Blend 2022

The best natural Cab Sauvignon/ Merlot blend I’ve ever had. It makes a big bold red very quaffable. — 10 months ago

Domaine Michel Lafarge

Vendanges Sélectionnées Volnay Pinot Noir 2020

2024/8/13-14. I don’t know that I actually prefer this to the regular Volnay at this stage; this is more dense, but at this point that manifests as a bit of dried, even raisiny fruit at times. There is still that elegant red fruit essence and a slightly rose-like floral note , though — 8 months ago

Cave de Turckheim

Vendanges Tardives Vin d'Alsace Gewürztraminer 2018

Trying this with a Chinese dish of beef ribs in soy sauce and ginger, and it works perfectly. Lychee flavours and quite sweet. — 2 years ago
