Les Bressandes Corton Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2005

Open & expressive showing layers of red fruit, spice, mineral with floral notes. This kept improving over time in the glass — 4 days ago

La Taupine Monthélie 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2014

Alas the wood has outlasted the fruit here.

The fruit is still lovely. Balanced cherry fruit. But there is still a tinge of wood which I find irritating. Let’s see how this airs.

Vieilles Vignes Monthélie Pinot Noir 2016

Black cherry, wet earth, just a touch of brett-funk. This should be something special in a few years. Fierce. — 5 years ago

Domaine des Baumard

Clos du Papillon Savennières Chenin Blanc 2015

In 1953, Jean Baumard acquired vineyard in Quarts de Chaume, in 1968, purchased substantial acreage in Savennieres. Today Jean’s son, Florent, manages the winery. Aromas of green fruits, floral and flinty notes. On the palate green apple, pear, melon and slight nutty flavors, well balanced with acidity. Medium+ length ending, no fluttering with fresh juicy mineral, just like the butterfly on the label! Will age well if you can resist opening. — 5 years ago

Bressandes Corton Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1983

Stunning. Cinnamon, brown sugar, acid, density. It sucks when you describe it like that. — 2 months ago

@Aravind A - “Stunning” = “Stunning”, descriptors don’t matter, no??

@Doug Powers spot on. Got distracted by my kids singing Apt while I was writing #seniormoment?
