Les Vins de Vienne (Cuilleron Gaillard Villard)

La Chambée Condrieu Viognier 2019

Another solid vintage. Beautiful golden color. Aromas of stone fruit, honey and white flowers. Fruit salad flavors of peach, pear, apricot, nectarine and a bit of tropical fruit. A rich honey/beeswax note on the long finish. Silky/oily texture with low acidity. (Wine is still nicely balanced.) Quite vibrant and succulent with a lovely creamy structure. Solid value for Condrieu. Aged quite well. — 5 days ago

Grands Vins de Bourgogne Puligny-Montrachet Chardonnay 2024

This Puligny-Montrachet stayed true to its heritage. Mineral and chalk my on the nose. Well rounded on the palate with a crisp start and light acidic follow through that pairs perfectly with Thanksgiving appetizers. Vive la France — 4 months ago

Arcane XIX Le Soleil Grenache Blend

Vintage 2015 | morello cherries in smell, for me always a hint to Syrah. Juicy, good balance. The swallow factor while tasting… Very good. — 2 months ago
