2005 and 2004 Rhone Valley Wines (Jan 2007)

Dark red. Explosively aromatic nose features intense floral-accented red berry and cherry notes and a potent mocha quality. Velvety in texture and strikingly deep, with sweet kirsch and blackberry flavors lifted by a refreshing mineral tone on the back. The endless finish, featuring suave tannins, is lush and seamless.

2001 and 2000 Rhone Valley Wines (Jan 2003)

Liqueur-like red fruits; even riper but less peppery than the young 2001. Wonderfully fat and sweet in the mouth, but with firm mineral spine giving the wine unusual verve for the year. Still youthfully tight on the end, with compelling minerality and persistence.

2019 Burgundy – Further Additions (Oct 2021)

2012 and 2011 White Burgundies (Sep 2013)

Pale yellow-green. Apple, spices and a whiff of caraway seed on the nose. Spicy, silky and on the soft side but with lovely mineral lift to the citrus and crystallized peach flavors. Nicely seamless wine with moderate length. Jacques Montagnon remains the cellarmaster here, with Alix de Montille becoming more involved in the winemaking. She…

Blind Vision: 2015 Burgundy Red & White (Nov 2018)

The 2015 Saint-Aubin En Remilly 1er Cru has a light, tightly coiled bouquet that may require another year to fully unwind. The palate is well balanced, with a fine bead of acidity, and quite saline in the mouth. The finish is not terribly complex, but there is satisfying tension and a pleasant tang of spice…
