Domaine François Raveneau

Valmur Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2020

A fantastic nose. Intense lemon, cool slate, an oiliness. Surprisingly oaky on the palate. Lovely balance and freshness but a few more years to let that oak settle and this should be amazing — 6 days ago

Don’t they supposedly only use old barrels yet it often tastes oaky young?

Montée de Tonnerre Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 1990

Lovely bottle sweetness, fruit shows a little fat, as acidity has mostly faded, rich and deep flavors, medium-long, lingering finish, mature but still a lovely bottle tonight!! — 25 days ago

Clos Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2009

Needs some time. Not as mineral as Valmur. Solid but not real exciting. — 16 days ago

Échézeaux Pinot Noir 2005

2005 vintage. Great fill and cork. Decanted and tasted after two hours. Small amount of chunky and powdery sed. Nose a bit musty but never funky during a high decant. Medium-heavy body. Tremendous power throughout. Can easily go another two decades. Still packing the signs of youth such as individual flavors easily evident vs melded/integrated ones. Tasted more like a 2020 vintage. Was hoping for more black tea, espresso, orange citrus peel, soy sauce notes (and there were some). This one's gonna need a bigger boat...er...another 7-8 years or a 5 hour decant to shed some of that overt power in a trade off for nuance. Delicious in its own way but not easy. Demanding. 04.04.25. — 19 days ago

@Pinotman /// Andreas If you ever saw The Untouchables from the late ‘80’ with Sean Connery, Kevin Costner, Andy Garcia and Robert De Niro…the “baseball bat scene.” That was this wine. Irrational and overkill. Fantastic in that space and time tho.

Love that wine.

Domaine Armand Rousseau

Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2001

With a four hour decant this 2001 Rousseau Chambertin was ethereally light with a good finish but not as complex or the signature sappy fruit associated with Rousseau. A good wine not great. Next time will use a two hour decant — 4 days ago

Jean Foillard

Côte du Py Morgon Gamay 2022

Finally got to drink one of the famous #morgon producers. Sappy red fruit, touch of enticing funk, purple floral notes and some sous bois aromas. Lushly textured on palate, iron, lofty acidity. Sure it’s a bit young but had to seize the day on this occasion. #foillardftw — 2 months ago
