Domaine Brusset
Tradition Le Grand Montmirail Gigondas Red Rhone Blend 2019
Roasted bell pepper, chunky, meaty grenache. Inky and chalky at the same time. Heavy flowers. Hot dusty tiles in summer time. There’s a lot to write home about, but not everything is in its right place. Good right now and maybe great in the near future. Time will tell. — 2 days ago

Patrick Brunet
Domaine de Robert Cuvée Tradition Fleurie Gamay 2015
I’ve been drinking this slowly over a week and a half. At this point it tastes like a fortified or mulled wine. It’s deep, inky like ox blood, burnt copper color around the rim. The smell is mulled red fruit, raspberry, strawberry, dry earth, purple flowers, sweet lavender. Very delicate tannins remain with an acidity that tickles the edges of the tongue and fades quickly. What you’re left with is something that resembles a young fortified wine with beautiful red fruit, earth, a floral element that lingers, and a slight hint of mushroom. It’s quite lovely and unexpected. — 4 months ago

L'Atavique Tradition Verzy Grand Cru Champagne Blend
Oh yes! Intense Champagne. Yeasty bread and lemon zest on the nose, pear and citrus with nutty, slightly herbal undertones. Great. 65% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay. 3g/l dosage. Disgorged 10/2023. — a month ago
Domaine de Roally
Tradition Viré-Clessé Chardonnay 2021
2024 spring / summer. Yellow gold color. Round, fleshy, lots of sweet citrus and some stone fruit, a touch of residual sugar and no oak - this is my first time with Thevenet-Quintaine but understand this is the typical style. An interesting change of pace — 2 months ago

A blend of 40% Poulsard, 30% Pinot Noir and 30% Trousseau, the 2022 Rouge Arbois Tradition displays bright red fruits alongside spicy elements. Subtle herbaceous accents add complexity, attributable to the use of approximately 20% stems from the Pinot Noir and Trousseau during fermentation. Concentrated and savory, the 2022 is neatly framed by ripe tannins and can be enjoyed over the next four years. (Nicolas Greinacher, Vinous, August 2024)
