Abélard Grenache Syrah 2014

Continuing sampling this neat Cotes du Rhone producer. 85% Grenache 15% Syrah. Dried red currants and prunes backed by a bouquet of cigar box, cocoa, and garrigue and hints of sandalwood and violets. Terrific complexity, though you expect that at this price, I don't expect that from a wine dominated by Grenache. — 3 hours ago

Héloïse Syrah Grenache 2013

Totally unlike the last time I tried it, two years ago. time has done this good- and perhaps some bottle variation is at play here too.

This is sappy and delicious. Herbal character, very pure. Some bo funk. Pinot noir elegance with persistent tannins.

Aliot Roussanne Blend 2016

Terrific value Southern Rhone. Bursting with aromas of white flowers and honey backed by a racy combination of lime juice, cardamom, ginger, and minerals. Beautiful lingering finish that echoes the honeyed citrus and spice aromas. — 7 days ago

Cordon Bleu Brut Champagne Blend

A classic, polished Champagne that delivers both charm and depth. Bright notes of green apple, lemon zest, honey, and brioche unfold with every sip. Fine bubbles and vibrant acidity keep it fresh and elegant throughout.

There’s a lovely balance of orchard fruit, floral hints, and that signature toasty croissant finish from bottle aging. Versatile and food-friendly, great with seafood, seared white meats, or simply on its own as a celebratory aperitif. 🎉🍏🥂

9.1

A grand cru BdB that’s usually a blend of 2 vintages. The latest release is 66% from 2018 and 34% from 2017.
Nice mix of stone fruit and citrus fruit, bread dough, white flower, and light ginger spice on the aromatic nose. Would like a bit more entry on the soft delicate palate. 5g/l dosage is about right for my taste.
