Vendanges Sélectionnées Volnay Pinot Noir 2020

2024/8/13-14. I don’t know that I actually prefer this to the regular Volnay at this stage; this is more dense, but at this point that manifests as a bit of dried, even raisiny fruit at times. There is still that elegant red fruit essence and a slightly rose-like floral note , though — 3 months ago

Meursault Chardonnay 2020

2024/7/16-17. While I’ve adored Lafarge’s Volnays for years, I haven’t had many of the Meursaults. This reminded me a bit of Dauvissat’s Chablis - restrained, linear, no trace of oak. There’s lemon and white flower, with just flashes of spice, butter and hazelnut - at least for now — 4 months ago

Raisins Dorés Bourgogne Aligoté 2018

2024/8. Pretty pretty good aligoté. After 6 years, there’s a burnished, golden character like baked, sliced apples - but also a funky, alkaline, slightly smoky mineral twist — 3 months ago

Chiroubles Gamay 2017

Very stern and closed on opening. With air, there is some nice cherry fruit, medium body, good structure. This seems to be built to age 10+ yrs rather than for early enjoyment 🤷🏻‍♂️ — a year ago

Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2020

2024/9/1-2. This is traditional red Burgundy in the best way (for my taste) - red-fruited, limpid red, acid and mineral balanced by sweet fruit that flirts with being not quite enough — 3 months ago

Vendanges Sélectionnées Meursault Chardonnay 2018

2024/8/13-14. This is in a rich style but without much oak influence; ripe lemon, citrus blossom, a bit of butter and stone. It reminds me of Merlin’s wines (though that impression might be heightened because I’m drinking through a tranche of the latter in parallel) — 3 months ago

Les Caillerets Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2005

These wines are the most stubborn wines I've ever tried from Burgundy. They take forever to come around and when you catch them early, they don't always show up. Extreme patience and research are needed to drink these and actually try to enjoy them. — 5 months ago
