Crisp, citrusy and with great acidity and freshness. This is one of the best and finest blanc de blancs from an independent grower we know: Rodolphe Peters does truly great champagne. — 10 days ago

"Odedi"

9.0

Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.

Fresh nose of red and black fruits with light spices.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with mild complexity.

Showing raspberries, black currants, cooked cherries, spices, light oak, licorice and black pepper.

Tangy finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This Mourvèdre from Bandol is still very young, yet tasty and already enjoyable, even by itself.

Tannic, and needs 10 years in the bottle to mature properly.

Good by itself or with food.

A blend of 81% Mourvedre, 9% Grenache, 8% Cinsault and 2% Carignan. Aged in large oak barrels for 18 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$40. — 14 days ago

After a rough stretch of vintages (14,15,16) for this producer, 2017 has it returned to form showcasing the unique Burgundian style to Côte-Rôtie that had it gain such a following early on. It wafts its stemmy spice aromatics with beef jerky, violets and and black pepper. It shows weightless intensity on the palate with a spine of minerality giving it lift and focus. Cordeloux is a tremendous success in 2017. — 23 days ago

9.2

Used the Durand on the cork - soaked to the edge. Decanted for 2 hours.

This wine had some gaminess. Smooth. Fruit was a bit wild and overpowered by the savory flavors.

Paired well with the chicken skewers and onions. Needed complex flavors in the food to pair well.

Good but quite a bit below the Beaucastel — 3 days ago

In really good vintages, their White Bourgogne’s never disappoint. 2022 the rule, not the exception.

Earlier notes, still apply. Green apple, lime pulp/zest, Meyer lemon, tropical melons, heather-honey delight. — 24 days ago
