André Lurton

Marie-Laure Lurton

La Tour de Bessan Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

2022 vintage. Dark red, much deeper colour than usual for this estate. Marie-Laure Lurton seems to have gone for a bit more extraction in this exceptional vintage. More powerful than usual, with a fresh black fruit personality,embedded in a tight, ripe tannic structure. Serious length too. Decanting recommended,as it showed better the next day. Ab. 14%. — 8 days ago

Les Cailloux (Lucien et André Brunel)

Châteauneuf-du-Pape White Rhône Blend 2019

Holy sh*t this has hit a new level. Floral as all get out with ripe jasmine and pressed white flowers. Gained massive volume with a few years of age; tremendous rocky bite, phenolic, smokey, notes of caramel, brûlée, tangerine essential oil. Just fantastic. — 2 months ago

Quinet Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah 2019

8.9

Thought this was corked, it was all musty & cardboard. I pulled another bottle and it was the same. I poured one into a decanter and re-corked the other. A couple hours later it transformed. Rustic old world depiction of Syrah, all meat & mineral, dark fruit, white pepper, nice nose and some finesse on palate. This needs more time and tons of aeration. — 3 months ago
