Reserve Mélange du Rhone Vineyard Sparkling Clairette 2019
Not typically a fan of bubbles, but I loved this wine…..bright, fresh, mild acidity, wish I had oysters to pair — 3 years ago
Domaine Guiberteau
Brézé Saumur Chenin Blanc 2009
Wow! Vin lumineux, très ouvert au nez, laser en bouche, avec une certaine amplitude, mais surtout une harmonie et une classe difficilement "accotable". Mélange d'arômes marins, de safran, de champignons séchés, de poire, de thé... Clairement sur son X! Grand vin. — 4 years ago
Le Chanceux
Mélange Red Wine 2015
Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Fruit forward on the nose with light cedar and lots of chocolate and tobacco notes.
Dry on the palate, and complex right out of the bottle.
Showing blackberries, cooked plums, figs, tobacco, chocolates, coffee, peppercorn, cedar, vanilla, licorice, mediterranean spices and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This 9 year old is showing beautifully now. Complex and interesting. Rich and engaging.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 45 minutes of airtime. Tannins calm down after an hour.
This 2015 was a great vintage and it is showing. Peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 years.
Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel. Spicy and engaging. I had it 4 years ago and it is drinking better now.
A great sipping wine to have all by itself, but will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
A blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Cabernet Franc and 4% Syrah. Fermented in (50% new) French Oak barrels. A tiny production of only 540 bottles.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$60 (at release). — 7 months ago
Château Les Carmes Haut-Brion
Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2017
From the Maestro “One of the real highlights of the vintage, the 2017 Les Carmes Haut-Brion possesses off the charts aromatic intensity and tremendous depth. An exotic mélange of sweet tobacco, menthol, rose petal, licorice, dried herbs and sweet dark fruit builds in a wine endowed with extraordinary beauty. Energetic and vibrant to the core, Les Carmes Haut-Brion was magnificent on the three occasions I have tasted it so far. Don't miss it.” — 3 years ago
Rocca di Montegrossi
Geremia Toscana Cabernet-Merlot Blend 2016
The 2016 Geremia is a total knock-out. An exotic mélange of sweet dark cherry, plum, chocolate, licorice, spice and menthol races out of the glass. The 2016 is deep, dense and full of character. It is also easy to drink with minimal cellaring. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon work so well here in the way they express richness and structure, all with a real sense of Tuscan raw power.

Bodegas la Tercera
Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2010
Superbe Rioja! Une bon équilibre de fruits rouges, cassis, épices, très léger goût de tabac. Moins de 2g de sucres. Excellent avec viandes rouges ou poulets avec épices bien relevée, comme un mélange Marocain par exemple. SAQ $26 — a year ago
Josh Cellars
Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
Très bon. Le sucre est présent (5.1g) mais pas trop exagéré. Un mélange de fruits rouges mûre, acidité moyenne, un goût assez enveloppé. $19 SAQ. Bon avec spaghetti entre autre. — 4 years ago

The 2020 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru is clean and precise on the nose: an enticing mélange of red and black fruit, briar and a touch of aniseed. The palate is sapid on the entry, with wonderful vivacious red cherries and strawberry fruit laced with white pepper and allspice. Real depth and mineralité flood through on the (again) aniseed-tinged finish, completing an impressive wine. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, October 2024)
