Marquis De Bel Aires
Domaine du Jaugaret
St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2006
High tone nose with a touch of va/ acetone. Translucent and almost no sediment in the bottle.. really old school a la Bel Air-Marquis D’Aligre. Palate is electric, very classically structured and fresh as a daisy. Nose takes a day to start showing floral and fruit notes and classic st Julien character. Very good, almost great; the aromatics never really soar. Bought at the domaine; Jaugaret is an organic and small production family winery (surrounded by mega châteaux). — 5 years ago
Domaine Marquis d'Angerville
Champans Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2010
A very fragrant and complex nose of dark cherries, blood orange, blackcurrant, white pepper and star anise. The palate is also complex and elegant, such balance with the fine fruit, a mineral acidity almost, and fine grained tannins with such an impressive length, on this delicious finish. So classy and a great bottle in this 2010 vintage. I am usually a tough marker but 94-95 even for this one.
Un nez très aromatique et complexe de cerises noires, orange sanguine, cassis, poivre blanc et anis étoilée entre autres. La bouche suit dans la même veine et est très équilibrée avec ce beau fruit, une belle acidité presque minérale, et des tannins de grains fins et tellement agréables. Une grande classe et un bel équilibre avec une longueur fort impressionnante. Une superbe bouteille dans ce millésime que j’adore. — 5 years ago

This is drinking so well. Nose of cassis, redcurrant, classic Margaux flowers, green peppercorn (Carmenere), crazy florals, just a masterful nose. Leather and glorious spice. Palate is wide and sleek, elegant and decadent than sharply concentrated and sweet. The tannins are sweet and aggressive but the fruit is extraordinary and in a few hours I see this being even more supple. Fantastic. — 20 days ago
