Cellier Du Château De La Chaume
Cellier des Dauphins
Les Dauphins Réserve Côtes du Rhône Red Rhone Blend 2024
Another solid vintage of this Côtes du Rhône staple. Blend of Grenache (60%) and Syrah (40%). Dark garnet color with ruby highlights. Aromas of ripe black fruit, violets, dried rose petals and roasted meat. Flavors of ripe red and black cherry/raspberry/plum fruit, savory dried herbs and spices and a bit of black licorice. Hint of earth and bramble on the long dry finish. No real noticeable oak aging. Fruit forward and fresh. Velvety tannins and medium-plus body. Exceptional quality and consistency for the price. Thanks for sharing, Chris B! — a month ago
Le Cellier Brondien
Les Abymes Jacquère 2014
Different vineyard but still 100% Jacquere, and this one is nicely on the cusp but not yet going down. Bro hints of the putative initial mountain freshness and minerals, together with a lithe expression of age. — 3 months ago
Cellier des Princes
Le Blason du Prince Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2023
La Voile. Drank by the glass. Really good CNdP. Lots of flavors, deep red berries, herbs on the midpalate. With or without food. Long finish. Some tannins, but smooth. — 6 months ago
Cellier des Dauphins
Les Dauphins Côtes du Rhône Rosé Grenache Blend
Really nice rose. Strawberry, bazooka Joe bubble gum, lime, light to medium bodied, with great acid. I’m a fan. — 3 months ago
Vilmart & Cie
Coeur de Cuvée Grand Cellier Champagne Blend
Disgorged 2022. Tons of bruised green apple. Little brioche. Ends a little shorter than expected for the price point. — 5 months ago
Domaine Thenard
Cellier Aux Moines 1er Cru Givry Pinot Noir 2019
Medium gannet and ruby color. Raspberry, strawberry, cherry, and blackberry fruits mix with a balanced acidity, black tea tannin, and cedar box/earthy terroir. Vibrant yet balanced six years in. — 7 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The “Grand Cellier” pours a pale straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of bright, tart fruit: green apple, star fruit, Meyer lemon, a whiff of brioche, and chalky, limestone minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. I freaking love Vilmart. Drink now through 2038. Disgorged December of 2018. — 4 days ago
