Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2015

Drinking beautifully! There’s a cool pine resin note that was very intriguing. Paired with Miyazaki Wagyu. — a month ago

Chapelle St. Theodoric

Le Grand Pin Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2009

PJW 6 pack for his visit - this is OTH, definitely some funk, Paul says wasn’t kept well, but great bones, it really grew on me as it opened - smoky, a bit of cobwebs, love it. Should seek out a ‘16 — 3 months ago

Carelles sous la Chapelle Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2023

9.6

This is a superstar wine in 22 and now 23. They also could not be more different. Stunning nose of ripe mid to late season cherry and a hit of kirsch. Stunning fruit clarity. Gorgeous stoniness and elegant herbs. Terrific tiny berry fruit intensity. Elite finesse and shows the silkiness of this brilliant site. The tannins are stoney and big but ripe and sweet. This doesn’t have the decadence of the 2022. Great freshness and has that chord progression fruit that is a signature of 2023. Unreal silkiness. Gorgeous wine but will be better with a few more hours of air. Oh it’s getting opulent like this site does and wow the energy is off the charts. Tannins melting into fruit. After 5-6 hours this is just insane. The energy of 23 and the opulence of 22. Genius!

Château Bourbon La Chapelle

Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

This checks all the boxes, considering the price. The faintest bit of rubber tires under the cherry nose. Cherries, tobacco leaf, orange peel bitterness. Under some oak influence, but not off putting.
Listening to Paganini. French wine with an Italian composer 🤔 nice pairing, though.
