@Delectable Wine - This is the Santenay Blanc. New oak leads on the nose, with really nice ripe apple, verging into each, fruit and some Burgundian gravel. On the palate, the wine has a nice soft mouthfeel and reasonably complex flavors, maybe tilting a bit too much on the oaky side if I were to quibble. — 4 days ago

100% Gamay.

Iron-tinted garnet. Clear and transparent.

The nose is royal. Complex commingling of floral note, red fruit, and minerality. Violet, rose petal, red cherry, wild strawberry, cranberry, tar, and iron. On the bouquet alone, this could very well be misunderstood for a Nebbiolo-based wine.

Structurally, the wine is built for long haul IMO. Grippy tannin, med plus acid, med low body (12.5 abv). 4 years old but this Beaujo tasted so young (who said it cannot age!). Still a lot of red fruit characters backed by mineral/stony frame. The same profile follows through from the aromas to the palate.

Pulled the plug on this bottle on a whim. No regret. Now I know I have to keep my hands off the rest of my bottles for another decade. Lovely juice! 91+ — 7 years ago

Les héritiers renaud, pouilly fuissé 2020
Wine 5 of my birthday blind tasting. The richness of the nose and the somewhat low acid palate threw me in the wrong direction. I called white saint joseph 🤷‍♂️.
There is pear, pineapple, lemon and tangerine on the nose, along with some chalky notes. It's not textbook. The palate is rich and broad, with pear, white peach and lemony notes. It’s almost sweet. There is a bit of phenolic grip in the rear, and a nice finish that ends up with a bit of bitter note. It’s actually quite nice and I must confess that I have been overlooking southern Burgundy whites largely over the past few years and I will need to remedy that. — 8 days ago

The 2017 Beauséjour Héritiers Duffau-Lagarrosse is powerful and backward, with huge tannins wrapped around a core of black cherry, smoke, charcoal, licorice, blackberry jam and graphite. Exotic and rich in the glass, the 2017 needs time to soften, but it is immensely promising, not to mention utterly captivating. Tasted three times. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, March 2020)

American geography ignoramus that I am, little did I know that the Northernmost tip of the Rhone- Cote Rotie- is the kissing cousin of Beaujolais. St. Amour is more midpoint, but has that great granite terroir which makes this long standing Cru Bojo (& under 20$) a perennial fave. It’s that mineral tautness I love. — 4 years ago
