I chalk that up to Defaix’s commitment to INOX, even in the case of his 1er and GC along with his protracted aging on the lees before bottling and ultimately, release.

Consistent notes. A bit more chalky tonight. — 22 days ago

Hermitage Blanc Marsanne Roussanne 2021

Better than the 20 for my palate, with a bit of freshness, but still not my cuppa — 10 days ago

Côte de Léchet Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2009

The bottle had a chip on the lip that was concealed by the foil. (See upper left of photo). There wasn’t any glass released by removing the cap, so the bottle should not have been used. None-the-less, the wine was fine. The color was dark straw. On the nose the caramel aging notes are evident. On the palate more caramel notes along with oak, lemon, molasses, ginger, burnt sugar, and minerals. Medium bodied, high acid, medium alcohol, with a long finish. This is a 2009 and fully aged. — 15 days ago

Saint-Joseph Syrah 2015

Nariz: mora, arándano, aceituna, algo de especies, algo de violetas. Aromas primarios pero algo de evolution.

Boca: Tanino M, Acidez M, Alcohol M. Muy buen balance.

L'Hermitage Blanc Marsanne Roussanne 2018

Wonderfully complex lingering and nuanced. This was simply a gem. Balanced rollercaoster of Rhône sophistication. Excellent! — 21 days ago

Hermitage Syrah 2007

Fantastic wine. Not as herbal as the Jamet Cote Rotie, not as ripe as the Guigal La Turque. Firm tannins. — 5 days ago

Côte du Py Morgon Gamay 2012

17+ another proof that Gamay can be very serious indeed. Remarkable nose, complex and expressive. Great fruit, of course, M+ length. Nice on back palate. Finish good, not exceptional. — a month ago
