Saint Laurent Des Vignes

Domaine Laurent Gauthier

Vieilles Vignes Grands Cras Morgon Gamay 2021

Leans into its carbonic character, with a confectionary nose of bright cherry-plum bubble gum, loads of granite, and almost a subtle just-dug root vegetable note. In the mouth it has an initial belt of high/toned fruit, but then slims down and eases into a lean feel, with fine, chalky minerality being the last characteristic. Definitely on the lighter side but quite flavorful. Seems a little disjointed and would probably benefit from another year or so in the bottle to come together. — a month ago

Vieilles Vignes Cornas Syrah 2010

Quite deep ruby garnet. Takes a bit of time to get going on the nose , then cassis , black plum , dark cherry , a slightly herbal, earthy, black pepper notes . On the palate quite round , with more dark fruits , earthy sous bois , and a spicy herbal touch , menthol finish . Nice balanced acidity and with rounded , ripe tannins with ok length . Drinking perfectly now and will drink well for another 5-8 years — 5 months ago

Comte de Saint-Hubert Vieilles Vignes Muscadet Sèvre Et Maine Sur Lie Melon de Bourgogne 1999

Surprisingly so youthful so as to wonder whether this will last more than 50 years (it’s 25 years old now and barely evolved), absolutely lovely!! — 3 months ago

@Ira Schwartz, they are still producing, but I have learned from the importer that this vintage was apparently their pinnacle, a unicorn I suppose, I have myself tried a few other vintages and they’re not anywhere near this level (sadly).

This is amazing. I’m cellaring three Pays Nantais Muscadets right now but never imagined the grape could run this long.

Vignes de l'Hospice Saint-Joseph Syrah 2017

What a banger. Elegant nose, smoky. The most notable thing was the tension brought by the tannins. Just perfect. Lip smacking. Great wine for bbq. — 6 months ago
