Raphael Vino Rosso 2024

9.0

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of dinner. No formal notes due to the setting. This bottle of the 2024 “Raphael” is certainly a more wild expression of Cesanese del Piglio. It’s bright and fresh with good structure and worked well with both the Rigatoni alla Carbonara and Romanesco. I can dig it. Drink now. — 3 days ago

@Ceccherini Cristiano previous to this bottle, my only other experience from Lazio are the Monastro Suore Cistercensi wines

Ceccherini Cristiano

@Jay Kline that is quite a unique wine too. You should trust more Lazio lately we have been doing great stuff. In the past all the production was meant for Rome and there was no attention to quality or distinction; the big city would just take anything, but recently with the new generations and with the easiness of moving goods around Lazio has understood the lesson. Ciociaria and Alto Lazio are great wine regions. If you can get hold of the Habemus i highly recommend (not indigenous grapes though) and for a Cesanese look for La Visciola(don't age it nore than 2-3 years though.

@Ceccherini Cristiano thank you! I will keep an eye out for these!

Côte Millésime 1er Cru Champagne Blend 2008

Aaron Tan

9.2

Such great value! While I feel doesn't have the Bereche typicity, it's so elegant and poised. Fruiter, more powerful, less mineral, but bolstered by racy acidity.

I think Vinous nails my tasting notes, so I'm just gonna leave that here:

"The 2008 Côte Premier Cru, a blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir from Vertus, is striking. Translucent and expressive, the 2008 captures a gorgeous, crystalline expression of Vertus Chardonnay, with a little added body and texture from the Pinot. Sweet floral and honeyed notes wrap around the expressive, precise finish. There is a lot to like here. Dosage is 6 grams/liter." — 8 years ago

9.3

From one of the relatively unknown and elite producers in Burgundy and a close friend of the illustrious Jean François Coche’s son, Raphael. Even this Bourgogne Blanc comes from old vines in Meursault which clearly evident in the wine. Vibrant energy and acidity intertwines with lemon curd, hazelnuts, a pixelated minerality and a striking intensity. Maybe lacking the depth and length of premier cru burgs, but what a tremendous entry level Bourgogne this is and a true over performer. — 6 years ago
