Vieilles Vignes Côte de Nuits-Villages Pinot Noir 2019
This was delicious, and a winning blind for me. Having a baseline on the table definitely helped. Although less sweet and intense, I felt the JM Millot was in the same genre as the Métras, with similar texture, floral lift, minerality, and red fruit profile. It was the difference in fruit sweetness that gave it away as being from greater Burgundy, whereby Pinot Noir usually appears less sweet than Gamay to me. The village was definitely a lot harder to identify which made sense upon the reveal - when in doubt, it’s probably from one of the lesser communes (or Morey lol!). Fine, fresh, and energetic, I would have drank a lot more of it if not for the other wines on the table. Another to revisit. — 4 years ago

Madame Placard Beaujolais Gamay 2020
Glorious Beauj raspberry strawberry. Very much Beauj but it also has an earthy not hidden in there. Elegantly balanced as well. Right when opened a lot was going on. It smells like stems. I like that. Another Beauj to go on the rotation for things to look for when it comes out. — 3 years ago

Premiere Mise is sourced from Yvon’s oldest vines from the Cercillon plot in Fleurie, another legendary "V.V." bottling. Only bottled “Beaujolais” because it's above 500m elevation and some dumb rules for the Fleurie AOC.
Poured into a decanter about an hour prior to service and enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 2023 “Premier Mis” pours a hazy, deep ruby with a translucent core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. The nose? Well…it’s sensational (with just enough funk to remind you this is Metras): gorgeous, lifted notes of red brambles, red plum, mixed flowers, licorice, a whiff of horse blanket, dried herbs and granitic earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. A stunning Metras; a wine you think about for days after. A totally awesome pairing with the roasted duck. Drink now through 2038? Thanks for the assist @Lyle Fass — 8 days ago
