Domaine Louis Michel
Butteaux Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2013
Pale honey color. Aroma is pure mineral and graphite with a dash of apple peel. Taste of green apple and, surprisingly, white grape. The acid was mild on this one but completed a medium finish. Thoroughly enjoyable. An affordable premier cru that I would recommend to any lovers of white wines.
Paired well with blanquette de veau. — 8 years ago
Bodegas Hermanos Peciña
Señorío de P. Peciña Crianza Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2012
Raspberry and vanilla aroma. Fine grain tannins with flavor of cherry and caramel. High acidity throughout that mutes the flavors. Closes with a slightly bitter, medium finish. — 8 years ago
Louis Latour
Château Corton Grancey Corton Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2012
Sweet fruity aroma. Primary flavors of cranberry and red licorice. Not too acidic or tannic. Long finish of caramel and mushrooms.
Improved with longer decanting, which raised my final rating. — 8 years ago
Château Larose-Trintaudon
Cru Bourgeois Sustainable Vineyard Red Bordeaux Blend 2010
Sweet black fruits on the nose. First taste of black cherries then a wash of dry tannins across the palate. The finish is very muted but hints of coffee or leather. Probably could use a few more years. — 8 years ago
