Pretty concentrated ruby dress. Evolved nose evoking Burgundy. In the mouth a beautiful smoothness, concentration, between evolved notes and fruit still very lively. A pretty bottle full of refinement. It can be drunk on its own.
Can still age 5/10 years, maybe more.
Jolie robe rubis concentrée. Nez évolué évoquant la Bourgogne. En bouche une belle onctuosité, de la concentration, entre notes évoluées et fruit encore bien vif. Une jolie quille pleine de raffinement. Ça se boit tout seul. Peut vieillir encore 5/10 ans voir plus. — 2 years ago
Jammy fruit forward nouveau. Went for $40 at a bar so I imagine it's pretty reasonable retail. — a year ago
Bad photo, it was dark. Jean Loron La Coronille Pouilly-Fuissé. LX19 EWR-ZRH. Very crisp and dry and chalk & mineral forward. — a year ago
Happy food-friendly Pinot. Billed as from the Auvergne (although VdF), but very composed and not at all rustic. — 2 years ago

Sommelier paired with halibut/coppa! — 3 years ago
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

Vintage 2023 | vin de France | happy making weekday wine with frivolous raspberry smell and solid structure, at a crazy price - much better than mediocre Beaujolais — 7 months ago
