Different gamays (de Bouze, Chaudenay, Gamaret..) on volcanic ground. Deep purple color. Surprising nose: blood orange, green clay, lentils. The attack carries a certain volume that fades quickly. The whole is greedy. We are in the thirsty-wine category. It's original for a gamay. To drink on youth.
Différents gamay (de Bouze, Chaudenay, Gamaret..) sur terres volcaniques. Couleur profonde pourpre-violine. Nez surprenant orange sanguine, argile verte, lentilles. L’attaque porte un certain volume qui s’estompe vite. L’ensemble est gourmand. On est dans la catégorie vin de soif. C’est original pour un gamay. À boire sur la jeunesse. — 4 years ago
Beautiful, brilliant light ruby red color. The first nose is intensely on aromas of small red fruits. On the palate, it is delicately fleshy, structured, muscular and elegant. A natural wine, with a real dense chew of fresh and juicy fruit. Open 30 minutes before tasting. The tannins are soft but persistent. To drink in 2/3 years.
Belle robe brillante rouge rubis léger. Le premier nez est intensément sur des arômes de petits fruits rouges. En bouche c’est délicatement charnu, structuré, musclé et élégant. Un vin nature, avec une vraie mâche dense de fruits frais et juteux. À ouvrir 30 minutes avant dégustation. Les tanins sont doux mais persistants. Devrait gagner en profondeur d’ici 2/3 ans. — 6 years ago

Day 2... smoky bacon bits,, tobacco, cracked pepper, plum and blackberry. Big and bold. Classic. Dry, tannic (especially for Syrah), with rich blue and blackberry fruit. Striking fruit leads to savory finish. Paired very well with elk chili. Showed well after a 2 hour decant yesterday. Drink with decant or hold. — 6 years ago

Outstanding Alsatian Pinot Noir, from vineyards in Wettolsheim, next to Colmar. Precise nose with notes of red fruit, smoke, minerals. Fresh, lively, good acidity — 4 years ago
My goodness is this thing singing a song I do want to hear. Medium straw with a fine mousse. Fine, tiny bubbles that go on and on. The nose is delicate and gorgeous. Apple pie, lemon tarts, and green apples. Toasted rolls, nuts, and butter. After it transforms in the glass you’ll find floral and herbaceous notes along with a healthy dose of chalk.
Solera method. While 70% of this Blanc de Blancs is from the 2015 vintage, the rest is from a perpetual reserve dating back to 1986. Straight out of Cuis in the Cote des Blancs. Two years on lees and disgorged in late 2018. The acidity is electric and the champagne is brawny in spots but never sheds it’s ballerina like poise. Extra Brut dosage with 2 g/l and the terroir speaks so clearly and honestly here.
Everything here is very clean and very precise. Minerality and salinity with a twist of lime initially. Creamy and inviting throughout, the fruit is lively. Terrific balance and depth with a long finish. A most harmonious champagne. — 5 years ago
