Sous La Mer

Henri et Gilles Buisson

Sous Roche Saint-Romain Pinot Noir 2021

ruby red color, bright notes of ripe blackberry - great with duck — 16 days ago

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1986

Medium deep garnet ruby , quite thin garnet terracotta rim . This is quite classic and more austere on the nose after the 1990s , grafite , cedar, sweet spice , earthiness and mint. More dry and four square on the palate compared to the 1990s but enough stuffing to fill out. Cassis , plum and blackberry , coffee , grafite . Refreshing acidity , slightly grippy drier tannin. Sous bois , grafite , herbal character with good length and earthy cassis finish . This got better with time in the glass and probably should have been decanted . This shows there is some upside , from now , with time in the glass, and over the next 10 years. The wine that improved the most during the dinner , quite impressive . — 2 months ago

A previous, all-time fave. Haven't had it in a larger format in the last decade which I feel would yield a 9.5-9.6 now. Out of a 750ml package currently, feel like the 1996 (difficult to source) is the superstar right now.

Yes @Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego I would imagine in large format this would be spectacular, in regular bottle still needs a little time to show its full colours . I remember having this at my 21st birthday party in 2001 …. Everyone complained it was too young and tannic , typical 1986 , though in 12 people (and pretty light drinkers I might add) we still managed to struggle through 7 bottles !

First bottle of a Jobard wine in many years. Top notch at its level, very mineral and long in the mouth. — 10 months ago

Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey

Sous Frétilles Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Chardonnay 2017

Pale lemon in colour. Creamy and mealy on the palate. More citrus than stone fruit. M plus intensity on Medium bodied palate. A great effort for a village white burgundy. Adjacent to the Hill of Corton with many of its attributes. Points off for a ridiculously heavy bottle - seems to be PYCM Policy. — 3 months ago

Brut Sous Bois Champagne Blend

Oaky, not seamless and integrated but also not over the top. There is good wine underneath the sheen of oak. If your thing you'll like it... — a month ago

Domaine Leflaive

Sous le Dos d'Âne Meursault 1er Cru Chardonnay 2014

Nice floral complimented with lemon zest and firm acidity. Characteristics improved as we enjoyed the bottle through dinner, indicating it’s still a bit young and not quite ready for prime time. — 3 months ago
