Prince De Karen

Domaine Laurent & Karen Boussey

Vieilles Vignes Meursault Chardonnay 2022

Nose: white flowers. Remnants of honey.

Palate: elegantly rich. A kiss of honey. Mineral. Great balancing acidity. Delicious.

A 9.3. But an amazing 9.3.

Cellier des Princes

Le Blason du Prince Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2023

La Voile. Drank by the glass. Really good CNdP. Lots of flavors, deep red berries, herbs on the midpalate. With or without food. Long finish. Some tannins, but smooth. — 6 months ago

Domaine Grosbot-Barbara

S.A.S Prince Charles-Henri de Lobkowicz St. Pourçain Chardonnay Blend 2023

Still one of the great alt whites in the world.

N: swirling white and yellow flowers. Almost an echo of tropical fruit.

P: delicious. Clean. Balanced. Juicy. Liquid yellow flowers. Some crunch. Mountain steam. Amazing elegance.

9.5-9.6. Sick value at this price.

Really pretty red fruit. Nice acidity. Quite lacked tannins, ripe or otherwise. Polished and v drinkable. Maybe not long aging potential but fine by me. — a month ago

Stanners Vineyard

Prince Edward County Pinot Noir 2021

A beautifully elegant fruit forward wine using the grapes from Stanners’ own vineyard & blending them with the grapes from Devil’s Wishbone. The first taste is restrained & austere before the fruit bursts forward.

Prince Edward County remains the best spot in Canada for show stopping Pinot Noir.

Les Valozières Aloxe - Corton Pinot Noir 2022

9.3

Gorgeous wine and 22’s are so good now. Black cherry and dark red cherry with just terrific clarity. Wild mint and limestone galore. Palate has glorious fruit and energy. Gained so much elegance since 2023. Sappy, chalky, mineral and pure. Velvet tannins on the mid palate and become chalky on the finish. Air will do wonders for this. Juicy and rustic but also elegant. Quite a needle this wine threads. — 8 months ago

Les Taillepieds Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2017

Very delicious dark fruit. You need to decant fo 30 minutes and then drink within 10 minutes of each pour at this point. Really delicious. Chewy. Some chocolate.

I’d go with pork.

9.3

Love this wine. Gritty, deadlifts more than me. Nose is funky but also deeply fruited. Lovely “sous bois.” A nose from yesteryear. Wild florals, wet earth, stanky black cherry. Big, deep, thick blackberry fruit on the palate. Suave and also rustic tannins full of black cherry and blackberry fruit. Fresh. Needs air but full of character and so damn good. Huge spice on the nose today. Heavenly. Big time Xmas spice. Palate is all silk and decadent fruit. Glorious. — 7 months ago
