Fleurie Gamay 2022

Second bottle of this in the past year. It’s deep, complex, and drinking really well now. A little note of barnyard adds a dimensional to the deep ripe fruit and deep granite on the nose. It’s dry and very deep on the palate. Deep savory and mineral notes are prominent, nicely augmenting the dark fruit. Nice but soft acids. A teensy little bit drying on the finish, so this is definitely designed for the table, where it will shine with stews and braises and pasta and . . . — 4 months ago

Domaine des Chers Vieilles Vignes Julienas Gamay 2020

Solid Cru Beaujolais. Medium garnet color. Bright aromas of ripe red and black cherries, earth and violets. Expressive flavors of red and black cherry/raspberry/currant fruit, tobacco and a pleasant hint of baking spices. A bit of black pepper and the presence of stemmy carbonic maceration on the very long and tingly finish. Quite juicy and crisp. Fruit forward, nicely structured and pretty well balanced. — 8 months ago

Chiroubles Gamay 2020

AS
9.5

Light, smooth, and with tartness (acid). A perfect pairing with meat or a rich meal. If you like lighter reds and come across this one, you won’t be disappointed. It’s a true delight. — 6 months ago

Brézé Cuvee Viticole Saumur Chenin Blanc 2018

First glass was toeing the line with VA then it settled down nicely. bone dry, high acid, extreme minerality with typical complex chenin markers: lime, apples, honey. Really delicious but this needs an hour or two of aeration minimum. These wines take forever in the cellar. 2018 just entering drinkability. Aside: The tasting notes on this wine are full of trendy NYC somms drinking this on release and giving it middling scores 😬 — a month ago

Brézé Cuvee Viticole Saumur Cabernet Franc 2017

Bright, clean , drinks youthful. No pyrazines to speak of. Maybe in a slightly dumb/closed phase. Will revisit tomorrow. Edit/ day two, now it’s expressive. Pyrazines coming through. This is a delicate wine. Versatile with food. Excellent purity.  — 4 months ago

Brézé Clos de La Rue Saumur Chenin 2015

Absolutely ripping acid. Intense wine, Plenty of stuffing. Well cellared. Fruit is evolved but no risk of going anywhere, with acid like this it’ll probably live forever. — 4 months ago
