Le Cul de Beaujeu Sancerre Pinot Noir 2015

9.2

Bright and a bit feral. long finish. Fresh as a daisy. Could be a modest 1er Burg. Excellent with poulet roti and frites. K&L just dropped this quietly on their website (presumably winery direct) for $20. Crazy. — 2 days ago

There is too much wine in the world. Going through the wine stores recently i have the impression some are not doing that well. And there were a couple which closed.

@Pinotman /// Andreas - Certainly too much mediocre wine. And that’s what most wine retailers sell the most of. There was a recent article in Decanter about the glut of bulk wine. But as to the really good stuff, I think it may be a more nuanced issue. If I lived near a store as good as K&L, I’d be popping in a lot!

9.4

The 2020 Sancerre La Grande Côte is a fine wine with a piercing nose of floral and flint. While it may be dry, it offers a sensation of sweet fruit and high alcohol (14.5%), which Cotat compares to the ripe 2009 and 1990 vintages. Being late-picked and on a south slope, these grapes get ripe, and in this vintage, I can't help but think that the balance has been slightly knocked by this ripeness. That said, it offers delectable texture and sinew and remains an impressive wine. Tasting the 2009 Cul de Beaujeu soon after, high alcohol (15%) remains evident with bottle age.

9.2

From a great looking bottle bought at the Domaine. Tawny and light in the glass. Bright cherry focused nose. Also notes of spice, dark soil, cranberry and burlap sac. Rich and liqueur like in the mouth. Heavy and masculine. There is a hint of steminess but you have to look for it. Not my favorite vintage of this but it was serviceable. — 5 years ago
