Vieilles Vignes Morgon Gamay 2020

9.0

Catching up on my notes. This was much better than the last bottle. Enjoyable, but it was crazy that this Gamay felt heavier than the Nebbiolo on the table. In its defense, it was up against Luca Roagna’s deft touch (see my notes on the 17’ Gallina). Despite its hefty structure, the Thevenet Morgon still had plenty of energy. Whole cluster goodness and plenty of red cherries. The palate was full-bodied with a supple texture. It had a touch of candied “sweetness” but plenty of acidity to keep things lively. Finished spicy with suggestions of minerality. One to revisit on a better occasion. — 6 months ago

En Voiture Simone Régnié Gamay 2019

8.9

A Régnié which expresses itself on the side of black cherries, kirsch, or Plum Eau de vie. The nose is very expressive and counterbalances a very dry character in the mouth, almost salty. Aerial, accurate. To drink.
Note revised upwards, at D+1 because it held up admirably and even opened up to additional nuances. A sincere wine. Really well done.

Un Régnié qui s’exprime du côté des cerises noires, kirsch, ou encore Eau de vie de prune. Le nez est très expressif et contrebalance un caractère très sec en bouche, quasi salin. Aérien, précis. À boire.
Note revue à la hausse, à J+1 car il a admirablement tenu et s’est même ouvert sur des nuances supplémentaires. Un vin sincère. Vraiment bien fait. — 2 years ago
