Oak, citrus, grapefruit, chalk. White flower. Acidic. Dry. Lemon. Good match with Japanese food. Jean Noel Gagnard Bourgogne HCDB Sous Eguison 21 @550/G(2200), domaine, 240901 — 3 months ago
2022 vintage. A blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot. This biodynamic estate goes from strength to strength in the capable hands of Caroline Frey. In this exceptional vintage La Lagune honours its reputation as the finest wine in the Haut-Médoc appellation. Black fruit, flowers, cedar and subtle spices. A thick mouth feel, with layers of succulent fruit, spices, and a powerful structure of what might be the most velvety tannins ever for this estate. As usual it displays that unique aromatic and elegant character that I describe as somewhere between Margaux and Pessac-Léognan. Impressive depth and length. A strong contender for the title of best La Lagune ever. — 19 days ago

This is my second time with the 2021 “Chambrees” by Caroline Morey and this time, it was a firecracker. Powerful notes of apples, star fruit, lemons and limes, marzipan, chalk and limestone. The acid was rippin’. The finish was extraordinarily long and complex. A banger. Drink now through the next decade. — 2 months ago

Good quality Bourgogne blanc with burgundy funk on the nose, ripe lush orchard fruits, a tiny tad of sweetness, hay, medium acidity, mineral structure and pretty long lingering finish. Very enjoyable and coming together nicely after 5 years. — 22 days ago
