La Combe de Malleval Condrieu Viognier 2019
Poured this btg for a solid year via Coravin. Nice balance. Seductive intro to Condrieu for many/most. This label looks like the Combe De Malleval Condrieu offering.
Good catch, @Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego !

Domaine Rene Leclerc
Combe Aux Moines Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2022
2022 vintage. Sampled via Coravin. Medium-medium heavy body. Vineyard from the highest point in Gevrey-Chambertin. Gorgeous throughout already with surprising, back-end spice fest. Tannins slightly muted but started to creep out after a few minutes in the glass. This likes to speed and is going places. 1.30.26. — 4 months ago
Excellent invention under the right circumstances. The 9 yrs of remaining storage after use, in my experience, overstated.
Ira that makes a ton of sense you are right.
@Ira Schwartz Me too and I rarely see that source/plot.
Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego
2014 vintage. Decanted and chilled down slightly. Great cork. Smoky, reductive nose interspersed with dark plum. Medium body since this had shed the T-M winter coat. Raspberry, rhubarb and cranberry large and in charge initially but came back into the fold in due time with some forest floor and spearmint finishing touches/accents. Well knit. Absolute gamer and willing to be thrilling now and for the next 8-10 years. Showing so nicely. 4.18.26. — a month ago
