Château de Laborde

Vieilles Vignes Gevrey Chambertin Pinot Noir 2015

Earthy arboreal impressions cushion soft notes of strawberry surrounded by ripe cherry and plum blossom. Impressions persist, but the strawberry turns grape-y, red licorice and the plums blacken. Fruit tannins inform the mouthfeel in their Velcro blanket. Raspberry reduction and dried blackberries inject. A smokiness suggests but manifests as grill marks on a dream. Has a certain brooding nature but ultimately hard to nail down. Needs food.

Vieilles Vignes de Pinot Noir Ambonnay Brut Grand Cru Blanc De Noirs Champagne

Golden and perfect. White pepper nose shows rich piths of lime and grapefruit, underripe pineapple and a yeasty monolith of frozen lemon. Minerality central as silken threads of chive and celeriac streak like lightning across lemon zest, oil and pith fields to clementine reduction drops. Ethereal and transportive medicine here!
