Enjoying this a lot. And the price… enjoying it even more. Opened it yesterday and it wasn’t ready so we let it sit for 24 hours. Still don’t think it’s quite there - probably needs another two years minimum. Didnt expect that. Dark purple and light red tones. Pipe tobacco and dark fruit notes on the nose, a bit of dried cherry and rose petals. Lots of depth there, very nice gothic bouquet. :-) There’s beef steak blood and graphite mixed with dark cherry and plum. Going to buy a case! — 3 years ago
Unknown to me and just found in stash. Looks like a 500 ml but label says 750ml. Not sure if this is correct vs Clariette Ugni Blanc out the same. Just showing oxidation but an interesting almost waxy and complex profile. Great with the sea bass. — a month ago
Cuvée dolia
Oustau de baumaniere — 2 years ago
2020 vintage. 100% Melon de Bourgogne. An old vine selection from 2 different vineyards with soils composed of shale and green rocks. Vinified and aged in "dolia" ( egg-shaped terracotta vats). Intriguing nose with exotic fruits, flowers, and a strong minerality, like a salty Condrieu if that makes any sense. Lots of flavour and intensity for such a low-alcohol wine ( 12,5 abv), with crisp white fruit, mouthwatering acidity, a subtle bitterness, and a long, saline finish. Gorgeous. Biodynamically farmed. — 2 months ago
