Alice et Olivier De Moor
Nuova Descriptio Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2022
lacks the precision and riesling-like tension i've come to associate w de moor but who cares—this shit was so much fun. blend of SB, chard and skin contact aligoté. i imagine everything that was left over after harvest? super expressive, ripe, and nutty with plenty of acid to keep everything in check. what's not to love? — 9 months ago
Alice et Olivier De Moor
Bourgogne-Chitry Chardonnay 2018
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. A pale lemon color in the glass with barely visible little green flecks. Lemon zest and apples of different varieties on the nose. Limestone and honey with a touch of sugar. Minerals and chamomile. So very sexy.
Lithe, lively, and lovely. Medium plus acidity with a ton of character and elegance. Very pure and fresh, clean. There’s a hint of slivered almond initially in the mouth followed by butterscotch and nectarines. Plenty of citrus notes here. A long finishing leaves you wanting more. A truly compelling Burgundy. — 2 months ago

Domaine Bachelet
Bourgogne Aligoté 2020
I struggled with this one blind, bright and lemony but round and a little nutty in the middle, an excellent Aligote but I’m more used to the more natty De Moor style. — 4 months ago

Harap Alb Cabernet Sauvignon Feteasca Neagră
Wine #2 Vinul Moldovei Vol. 1.
This wine is named after the protagonist of the Story of Harap Alb. And what a fitting name it is! White Moor, white made from black grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon and Fetească Neagră). Almost colourless, it offers charming (hehe, Făt-Frumos) notes of melon, pear candy, wet stones and green apples. Not overly complex, but delicate, well-balanced and mineral. It's fresh with gentle and well-integrated oak (2 months with bâtonnage).
Not sure if it makes sense to age it, but it's a wonderful choice for a hot summer evening or to pair with oysters.

Vintage 2022 | Fresh, saline, minerals. Aligoté is confusing to recognize when tasting blind, it can also be rather meager. But this Aligoté is textbook: fine citrus in smell, tones of Granny Smith in first sips, very very vibrant and juicy. You long to a new sip of the wine. Paired with Asian yaki udon with pointed cabbage, oystermushrooms, bacon strips and a viscous sauce in which I added a bit saké. — 22 days ago
