First time trying Bernard Faurie. This was the Greffieux Bessard cuvee. Unmistakable Northern Rhone Syrah nose but not floral like Cote-Rotie, more earthy. More fine than St Joseph.
There’s no denying that 2018 red Burgundies are dark and dense. Not the kind purists seek for. They are often panned when they are popped now. For us though, we believe there’s always a right time and right place for every vintage, especially in the hands of a reliable grower. The ‘18 En Champs from @maximecheurlin still have notes of expensive oak but there’s a lovely core of sweet fruit to absorb it. And critically the tannins are lush and not austere. You can drink it now if you want something bolder or just age it further if you want to see it’s true colours. Drink the ‘17s now while these get more sleep in the cellar.
Lovely whole bunch nose. Quite light on the palate for a 2006. Easy to drink now, perhaps not at the scale of some of the other CSJ growers.
WOWWWWWW… opened a few hours before dinner. Beautiful nose, violets laced with spice. So quintessential Vosne. Superb elegance on the palate - truly @david_duband style. So gorgeous and the last sip, rose petals emerged. Couldn’t bear to drink the last drop. Simply mesmerising!!! Wish we had more!!!
Not many know that Condrieu can be made in an off-dry/sweet style. It was popular in the past but due to the trend towards dry wines, it gradually started to disappear... until now. The 2020 @domainejulienbarge Condrieu Demi-Sec is made with a touch of residual sugar and without sulfur addition. Glorious nose of honey water and elderflower. Light and fresh on the palate with just a touch of sweetness to keep it refreshing. Not cloying at all. Indeed this bottle #138 showed the best on Day 2, after some breathing. If you are tired of flabby alcoholic Condrieus, this is the one for you. Would love to try it again with some age!
Wow a battle of the Macon ‘96s. @guffensheynen at a wonderful place now, definitely taste at least 5-10 years younger. Brimming with tension and ripeness balanced with refreshing acidity. And that finish. Incredible!
