Maison L'Envoyé
Chateau Vivier Monopole Fleurie Gamay Noir
Maison L'Envoyé, The House of the Messenger, was born out of the Oregon/Burgundy partnership of Evening Land founder Mark Tarlov and Louis Michel Liger-Belair of Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair. Prior to his wine ventures Tarlov wrote speeches for Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, as well as directed the 1999 rom-com Simply Irresistible starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. I can only assume he's Frank Abagnale's little brother. This is some serious Beaujolais. Ultra pure floral notes of iris and lavender play well off the high-toned bright red fruit along with layers smoke, licorice, stone, and herbs. A stylish alloy of modern, Cru Beaujolais and rich New World decorum.

Aug 5th, 20172014 vintage. Wild strawberries, stewed cherries, watermelon, red and purple flowers, black rocks, bit of an herby, leafy thing going on. Good example of its type, just wish it had a little more stuffing.
