Clos de la Commaraine Pommard 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2003

2003 vintage. Generally speaking not a very interesting vintage ( too hot for Pinot Noir), but this is a very good effort. Not sure for how many years all the grapes of this 4 ha Premier Cru vineyard were sold to Jadot, but at least in this vintage the label says " monopole". In 2017 the Clos was sold to the American owners of Leclerc-Briant Champagne and ever since the 2018 vintage it is sold under the "Domaine de la Commaraine" estate name. Attractive nose with strawberry jam, spices and dried flowers. Slightly jammy fruit (but not cooked), with good balancing acidity and a charming personality. Abv. 13,5% — 3 years ago

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. — 2 months ago

Excellent invention under the right circumstances. The 9 yrs of remaining storage after use, in my experience, overstated.

Extra Brut Epernay 1er Cru Champagne Blend

2024/8/15. Vintage 2014, deg 2018/11. Light gold. Yeasty brioche, toast, hazelnut, citrus fruits…a lovely nose, followed by a fresh but weighty body with a lively, frothy bead. Dry but not austere on the finish. — 2 years ago

Champagne Brut Zéro Pure Cramant Blanc de Blanc 2012

A stressful week came to a close with disappointing news. This wonderful champagnes consoles. Dark yellow color. Smells and tastes more mature than I expected from a 2012. This has a long finish and the closest I can describe the taste would be a Selosse. Not a champagne for everyone’s taste but I am glad I bought it and opened it tonight. Makes me feel much better — 4 years ago
