Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2022

2022 vintage. Medium body. Decanted and tasted after 30 minutes. Bright nose and flavors. Too bright. Needs a solid half-decade to settle in, settle down and leave the night life behind. Could see the ceiling on this as a 9.4 in a decade+. 05.23.25. — 15 days ago

Mazy-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2020

Terrific effort and great value. Strawberries, cherries, plum and slate. Medium body, very spicy with great length. Best to wait a couple more years but delicious now. — 6 months ago

Clos Prieur Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2023

2023 vintage. Light-medium body. Initially pretty nose and flavors without trying-spearmint, raspberry, strawberry. Those impressions remained but dwindled with importance as rhubarb, clove and dark cherry steadily drifted in. A little substrate/carpet of dried earth that gradually gained strength. This is so youthful; a good 2-3 years necessary to even begin to speculate as to the ceiling and direction. 05.18.25. — 20 days ago

One of the last reasonable priced Burghs.

Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2021

Didn’t love this - aroma was classic Burgh fruit but palate didn’t match - overly musty/underwhelming - maybe needs some age. Or the sons aren’t up to the dads standard — 6 months ago

Les Jouises Vieilles Vignes Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2018

2024/9. Basically similar to the last bottle, but a little more integrated and open from the start - wild red fruit, forest, iron. — 9 months ago

Brézé Clos Mazurique Saumur Cabernet Franc 2023

I’m a huge fan of Loire Cab Franc and this wine is deep and rich. Forest floor and coffee notes on the palate. Black lush fruits. Very balanced and finessed. One of my favorite Saumur wines!!! — a month ago

Brézé Clos de Midi Lieu-Dit Saumur Chenin Blanc 2022

Nose: some funk. Blows off. White flowers.

Palate: sweet fruit. Mineral. Good. Well made. Not too wooly.
