One of my personal favorite #Burgundy regions, Mercurey. Aubert & Pamela de Villaine's 2011 'Les Montots'--this dusty, truffled, earthy genius was really so pretty. Needs a wee bit of time to open up, but the cheery lil cherry bits sure were tasty! #ShadowsintheVineyard tasting. #certifiablydelish

Domaine de Villaine is owned by none other than Aubert de Villaine, co-owner of that most illustrious estate, Domaine de la Romanee-Conti. The little house Villaine is located in Bouzeron, and offers fine quality for money for those looking for a good value. The 2011 is light on fruit, a notoriously difficult vintage, but it has some charm nevertheless with tart cherry notes, cranberry and rose hips on the palate. The acidity is quite high, and the wine begs for food. A nice cheese plate? Yes.

Mercurey rising. This wine is really showing well now. Candied cherry, tart currant, leather, crushed aspirin, black, and sandalwood. #devillaine

Tasty pinot noir. Lean with fresh acid, fruit and delicate umami subtleties.

In a great spot, drinking well. Classic red Burgundy. Tart red fruit, wet dirt, acid.

いつ買ったのか全く記憶に無いし、良く分からない地域だから気軽に抜栓。華やかでは無いが、味のバランスが良い結構好きなワインだ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
