Château de Montfaucon

Comtesse Madeleine de Montfaucon Côtes du Rhône Clairette 2016

Honeyed, rich, viscous, very good balancing acidity, round and very long, lingering finish, I think fully mature (or very close), this is a brilliant 120+-year -old Lirac blanc from 100% Clairette!! (@Tom Casagrande, this is the other Lirac blanc, same producer as the other, back label has all information.) — a month ago

Comtesse Bernard de Cherisey

La Genelotte - Monopole Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru Chardonnay 2018

Ein wunderbarer Burgunder. In der Nase geschmorter Apfel, Bratbirne, Limettenschale, und einen leichten Hauch von weissen Blüten. Am Gaumen saftig, sanfter Holzeinsatz aber nicht so mächtig wie sonstige Meursaults, jedoch auch nicht so mineralisch wie die Puligny‘s aus dem angrenzenden Gebiet. Angenehme Feuerstein-Mineralik und leichte Salzigkeit. Ein Genuss zum servierten Steinbutt mit Spitzmorchel und Frühlingserbse. Säure: Medium, Alkohol: Medium +
Preis-Leistung: 7/10

I don’t think I’ve ever had a white Lirac. Nice!

@Tom Casagrande, there are small quantities of Lirac blanc out there, this same producer makes an old vine Lirac blanc from 125-year-old head-pruned vines that is quite interesting as well.
