Les Fleurs du Lac

White Bordeaux Blend 2020

Fresh cut grass initially, then faint lemon and oily notes, crisp, refreshing, nicely balanced, medium-long finish, could use a little more cellaring, very fine white Bordeaux. — 17 days ago

Le Clos du Caillou / Domaine du Caillou

Nature Côtes du Rhône Red Rhone Blend 2021

Bright light purple dress. Pure explosive nose on fruits (red and black) and flowers, typical of carbonic maceration. In mouth the first is light, airy, confirming the nose; carried by a beautiful necessary freshness balancing the little terroir extraction. A modern, "natural" wine, on the fruits at first fond that does not prevent a certain complexity from expressing itself on a peppery and mineral finish. A very beautiful juice to drink from the aperitif, which blindly could pass for a rosé.

Robe légère violine éclatante. Nez pure explosifs sur les fruits (rouge et noirs) et fleurs, typique des vins en macération carbonique. En bouche l’abord est léger, aérien, confirmant le nez; porté par une belle fraîcheur nécessaire équilibrant le peu de terroir extrait. Un vin moderne, “nature”, sur les fruits á l’abord friand n’empêchant pas une certaine complexité de s’exprimer sur une finale poivrée et minérale. Un très beau jus à boire des l’apéro, qui à l’aveugle c’est pourrait passer pour un rosé.

Brouilly Beaujolais 2006

These old Brouilly are really incredible! Intense notes of peppery wild strawberries, truffle evolution, undergrowth, dried flowers, blood orange.. the finish is persistent, like the fragrances of a perfume, intertwining fine tannins and endless acidity veins, with light bitters welcome.

Ces vieux Brouilly sont vraiment incroyables! Notes intenses de fraises de bois poivrées, évolution truffe, sous-bois, fleurs séchées, orange sanguine.. la finale est rémanente, tel les fragrances d’un parfum, entrelaçants tanins fins et nervures d’acidité sans fin, avec de légers amers bienvenus.

Elegant gold color. Minerality dominates the nose with some cream present. Similar on the palate. Very distinct Matrot bottle. Very good. — a month ago

Lovely wine, although not as refined as the Cab Sauv. Improved markedly a day after opening. Great value. — 4 months ago

Domaine des Terres Dorées (Jean-Paul Brun)

Fleurie Gamay 2015

Some beautiful notes between raspberry, pepper, fennel, various herbal nuances, dried flowers. The freshness is beginning to fade, 2015 is on its final stretch. Already almost too old.

Quelques belles notes entres framboise, poivres, fenouil, nuances végétales diverses, fleurs séchées. La fraîcheur commence à s’estomper, 2015 est sur sa dernière ligne droite.

I do have a weak spot for Jean-Paul and his wines, two lovely visits cemented that!!

@Doug Powers I can only agree with this, given the number of bottles of JP Brun I have in the cellar.
