Sarl Garaudet Pere & Fils
Le Ronceret Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2021
Gorgeous and very precise nose of some spicey oak, mid season cherries that have insane clarity. Unreal sous bois underneath. Super classy nose. Just singing. Love 21. Real aromatic substance and layering here. Gorgeous clean laundry aromas as well as spice and some flowers. Palate is very young on the PNP but as it airs it will come together and flesh out. So pure and precise with glorious fruit of the mid season cherry kind. Can’t wait to see this unfurl. Oak also a a bit much on the palate but Garaudet’s wines always need mega air. I will be back! Oh wow air has gotten this all sorts of delicious. Unreal finesse and sweetness. So focused. — 10 days ago
Cave Sébastien Blachon
Margariat Saint-Joseph Syrah 2022
This is such an utterly brilliant wine. Just beyond. Nose is the most vivid olives and gorgeous blackberry fruit and granite infused love. 9.8 nose. Utterly captivating. Palate is rich and ripe but teeming with granitic energy. Unreal inner mouth olive aromas, and just insanely juicy and painfully concentrated. Unreal length and I only showing 10% of itself and we are at 9.8. I will be back. Wow. Unreal finesse now and length. There is a dark evil to this wine that adds to the overall vibe. Outrageous florals now an hour in. Really meaty element now as well. So supple and silky but firm structure, minerals and granite on the finish. Tannins getting more imposing but ripe and sweet. — 7 days ago
Domaine Jean-Jacques Girard
Clos du Roi 1er Cru Beaune Pinot Noir 2018
Showing well out of the gates with blackberry and earth on the nose that has more to reveal. Palate is deep and very 18, thick with fruit, tannins and mineral. But juicy and with terrific energy. Has the largesse of this 1er Cru which works well in a vintage like this. Curious to see how it evolves. — 10 days ago
Domaine Alain Burguet
Cuvée Mes Favorites Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2017
Nice nose of spice, mid season cherry, dark rustling leaves, wet moss, dark flowers, and lots of mineral. Terrific depth and ebullience on the nose. Palate is ripe and juicy but a bit one note, lacking in energy and the tannins seem a bit much for the vintage. Let’s see where this goes. The tannins melted away but it was boring and correct. — 13 days ago
Enderle
Keuper Pinot Noir 2022
Glorious nose of blackberry flower, dark black cherries, tiniest hint of VA only adds to the allure. Super focused nose and provocative. Gorgeously high tones. Palate is so rich, energetic and with tons of sweet black fruits. Unreal inner mouth aromas and painfully concentrated with inane tiny berry fruit intensity. Powdery tannins that are ripe and sweet and above all this has class and refinement. Wow. Day 2 the nose comes alive with dark violets and the fruit is a bit redder today. Palate is so supple, sweet and soft but with great energy. Great complexity and wow that acid! Fruit is redder today but dark redder and such awesome tannins. — 8 days ago
Domaine Marc Jambon et Fils
Bourgogne Aligoté 2023
Nose is really great. Confectionary green apple, cotton candy, fresh grasses, and very steely. Cool climate Aligote from Macon is a vibe. Rich, chewy and bracing with sappy lime fruit and terrific juiciness and freshness. Finish could be a bit longer but this is a $20 wine and it’s made so well. Lovely stuff. — 13 days ago
