La Closerie du Grand Poujeaux

Moulis en Médoc Merlot Blend 1999

I had the 1998 vintage of this dusty old Bordeaux about 5 months ago and it was underwhelming. Maybe an off bottle. But THIS 99 is pretty great. Fresh mixed berries (blueberry) on the nose, and very elegant fruit + tame soft tannins give a really nice mouthfeel with an extraordinarily long finish. Dried herbes de Provence and hay for days. I’m having one glass tonight and will check back in tomorrow after more air. Not an expensive bottle, but age served it well.

Follow up: Really singing on day 2. Got even better with another hour+ in the glass. But I’d say it’s getting slightly past its prime and best to drink now :) Party like it’s 1999.

Château Côte de Baleau

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2011

2022 vintage. The Cuveliers are doing a great job here. Their Clos Fourtet might not be for everyone's wallet, but this should make you happy too. Another great 2022, and the best Côte de Baleau I have ever tasted. Black cherries, subtle oak, and flowers. Concentrated, with layers of ripe red and black fruit, embedded in a silky tannic structure with fresh balancing acidity. Highly recommended and terrific value. — 9 days ago

Have this on the resto list but think it's the 2021. Occasionally lose track with 850 wines onboard. Whatever vintage we've got is remarkable for the price and complex. Need to retaste this week!

La Closerie Extra Brut Pinot Meunier

I think this is the best release of this wine I’ve had. LC22. It’s excellent tonight layered with ripe orchard fruit, gun smoke, salted hazelnuts and exotic spices. The palate is structured and concentrated with a satiny texture and vibrant energy giving way to a saline and mineral laced finale. Delicious! — 2 months ago

CLOSERIE DU PELAN

Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

A bit of sweetness after so many dry Italians. Still, this proves either it’s pedigree or vintage, maybe both. — 10 months ago
