    The robe is a golden straw color with sparkling golden flecks. The bouquet gives mainly honeysuckle and acacia notes. It has a nice, rich and creamy texture with a fresh, lengthy finish.

    The robe is a clear, luminous, golden, sun color with brilliant reflections of gold glitter. This vintage is developing well with some age and old vines. It has a clean, bouquet with some mature aromas of truffle and mineral earthiness. A well balanced wine with medium intensity and finish while hanging on to a fair bit of freshness.

    A beautiful expression of Champagne. There is a finesse and elegance to the bubbles and it has incredible freshness.

    Feminine and elegant with good minerality. Showing very well now with a long, evolving finish.

    Celebrating a gorgeous day in Florida with a fabulous souvenir de Bourgogne! Delicious Aligoté from Domaine Roulot! Even though it’s a 2007 it’s still lively and fresh! A true testament to the quality of wines from this producer. 

  • Domaine Ninot: Rully La Barre 2011

    A perfect Chardonnay! Very balanced with a creamy finish and still it has great acidity leaving a wonderful fresh length to it. A lovely vintage and example of la Côte Chalonnaise.

  • Louis Jadot: Domaine Duc de Magenta: Puligny – Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Garenne 2010

    Heavenly! This Chardonnay has a beautiful golden robe with a bouquet of apricot and acacia. A well-balanced, slightly buttery wine with undertones of wood and a lingering finish with hints of mineral. Would love a bottomless bottle of it. This vintage is a classic Puligny-Montrachet.

  • Claudie Jobard: Rully 1er Cru Les Cloux 2012

    A superb expression of Burgundy Chardonnay with hints of honey and slight mineral. Its nice and round with a lingering finish.

  • Aurelio Settimo: Riserva Rocche Barolo Nebbiolo 2004

    Aurelio Settimo: Riserva Rocche Barolo Nebbiolo 2004

    A beautiful, rustic brick red tone that feeds the eyes before it feeds the palate.

    It has a vegetal yet earthy bouquet with a multi-layer appeal and a flavor that improved as the tannins softened. This is a drinkable vintage providing that it’s decanted.
