Le Lapin
Château Le Puy
Expression Originale Du Terroir Côtes de Francs Red Bordeaux Blend 1989
This fell somewhere between an old Burgundy and an even older new world Syrah (made me think of a old Alban Edna). Stinky but alluring nose, so much going on I couldn’t really capture it all. My head was spinning a bit (last wine of night but it was exceptional, new for me).
Mon Lapin (and Vanya if she’s there…) essential for any wino/foodie visit to Montreal! — 2 years ago
Domaine Leflaive
Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay 2002
The 2002 pours a bright yellow color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing and basically a meatball right down the middle of the plate. Powerful notes of ripe pineapple, some ripe stone fruit, lemon curd, marzipan, butter, minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and has a great acid and mineral zip that helps cut through the density. This is a Chardonnay that so many producers desperately want to make but there are so few that can execute with this level of precision. Of the three wines in this flight it was sort of overshadowed early by the Sauzet and the Leroy Aligote…but that changed when the food came. Paired with the roulade du lapin, this was without equal. Drink now through 2032. — 8 months ago

The Foreign Affair
Ciao PInot Noir 2013
We've had this cellared for 3+ years and damn was it worth the wait! Incredibly balanced fruit- cherries, plums, dried fruit, spices, sugar, very light tannins. Goes amazingly with wild Lapin au Vin. — 6 years ago

Casanova di Neri
Tenuta Nuova Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2007
2007 vintage.
Dried Bing and Lapin cherries on the nose with hints of fig.
Plums, dark cherries, tobacco, sandalwood and dried roses.
Smooth well developed tannins combining well with persistent, yet still mouth watering acidity.
Such a gentle, smooth and refined finish.
It hurts me to say this is my last bottle. — a year ago
Domaine Bernard Baudry
La Croix Boissée Chinon Blanc Chenin Blanc 2017

Ray Vanderhoff
100% Sauvignon Blanc from Perigord in Southwestern France. Pale straw color. Aromas of lemon/lime, white flowers and wet stones. Same citrus flavors on the palate with additional hints of tropical fruit, pear and green apple. Distinct mineral note on the medium crisp finish. Lively acidity and quite fruit forward. Not overly complex but very easy to drink. Crowd pleaser! Excellent QPR! — 22 days ago
