Nice! Very similar to previous note. A little more acidity and less butter/popcorn. Really good QPR. — 3 years ago

Comtes de Champagne Grand Crus Brut Blanc de Blancs 2008

Perhaps the best champagne we’ve had this year. Tightly-wound, but many many pleasures to be had. Hazelnut, brioche, and, as it opens, a hedonistic buttered popcorn note. Nothing out of place. Simply fabulous with years to go. ❤️🥂 @Geoff Franz — 4 years ago

As near a perfect champagne as I've ever had. This is neck and neck with 2008 Cristal for me, but a different profile. Just beautiful and giving. The polar opposite of 08 Krug.

No. 6 Dijon Free Johan Vineyard Chardonnay 2017

Completely smitten with this dense, complex, and entirely palatable Chardonnay.

Yellow straw color that hints at minor oak aging. Beautiful and intense aromas of struck match, toasted marshmallow, baked bread, pineapple, and guava. Absolutely no vanillin coming through. Upon cold opening it was much more tropical focused and then warmed up to become more toasty. Was fun to witness the evolution.

Sharp acid edge and medium bodied. Drinks clean and has a buttered popcorn and golden apple dialect.

Gorgeous!

Domaine Coche-Dury (J.F. Coche Dury)

Les Rougeots Meursault Chardonnay 2011

First sips in Paris 🥰

Coche is so fn good it really makes you stop, put your glass down and think about it. Reduction blows off to reveal layers of stone fruit, Meyer lemon, buttered popcorn and white flowers. There is such incredible texture and depth to this wine and its pulsating energy and acidity is seamlessly balanced in combination with its richness and density. It threads the needle between power and elegance. Fabulous.

Medium lemon color. Pronounced nose. Lemon custard, honey, quince, popcorn, Smokey. Medium+ acidity, high alcohol, medium+ body. The high alcohol and the lees mask the fruit and the resulting sensation is a lack of freshness. — 2 years ago

Very enjoyable. Lovely nose with lemon custard, candied pineapple, overripe pear, and nuanced buttery popcorn. Great structure and awesome balance. Worthy of buying in bulk. — 5 years ago

Glad you enjoyed. When you can find this for the right price, it’s killer.

That’s the trick at this point: finding it at the right price. At present I can only find it for $60-$70/bottle so I may need to look online for better pricing.

I can sometimes find it for $45 at Ellerbe’s locally. Inconsistent though.
