Cuvée E.J. Thévenet Viré-Clessé Chardonnay 2017

Found this forgotten bottle at the bottom of my Burgundy section in my cellar. Drank this at release and then thought: forget this a couple of years. That couple of years became 8, and today a completely different wine has emerged in the glass. Golden color and aged nutty Burgundy tones emerge. This is a wine that has a little bit of residual sugar but today's bottle has integrated it into the wine which makes it way less obvious. Still a rich tropical profile but there is enough fine filligrine acidity to support and bring balance. I think this is just past peak, so I'm going to drink my other bottles soon. Awesome wine and still relatively affordable. Worth seeking out. — 4 days ago

@Jan A, it’s always fun to find that bottle you thought had bee drunk long ago — sometimes it’s too long, but this sounds like a real winner, congrats!!

Domaine De La Grand'Cour (Jean-Louis Dutraive)

Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Terroir "Champagne" Fleurie Gamay 2015

Leftovers from our 2nd Annual, “Bierock Bonaza: Let’s have some funza with Runza”.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three hours. The 2015 pours a deep ruby with a slightly purple tinge and a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of lightly stewed, spiced strawberry, ripe fig, and cherry lozenges, red flowers, green herbs, with a touch of leather, and a mix of organic and inorganic rocky earth. Just the faintest hint of mouse. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. The alcohol is also medium+. Delicious. Drink now through 2030.

Terroir de Chablis Chardonnay 2022

Nose is a little reticent at first, giving shy whiffs of Granny Smith apples and crushed rock. Just the barest hint of Chablis “brothiness” as I like to call it. As it airs and warms, it’s a bit more forthcoming. In the mouth it’s on the lighter side, but certainly showing Chablis minerally character. Acids medium low. A nice aperitif Chablis but color me a bit disappointed, for now, given the producer. Will try to check back in after a few hours.

UPDATE: After several hours, showing noticeably more fruit and depth.
