Yellow citrus, lemon curd, lime rind, cream, honey, and marshmallow make for a more wood-influenced production at this stage. Though quite tasty and decently powered, the display of the purity of…
Well this was a nice surprise. Full of life and popping with energetic and succulent lemon everything, this Servin is quite the over-performing little monkey. The Bougros site is brilliantly…
Another exceptionally powerful showing, with a flex of yellow citrus that commands the palate and delivers a serious dollop of viscous fruit flavor. Still blocky in cadence and texture, this is the…
I keep testing this wine against my better judgment to see if I want to invest in a few more. It's quite delicious and has a nice tang of lemon and subtle lime flavors that offer pleasurable drinking…
The Droin Grand Crus in the 2019 vintage are simply crushing it with unreal purity, freshness, and succulent intensity. This is the best vintage of Droin I've likely ever had, with the Les Clos,…
The Droin Grand Crus in the 2019 vintage are simply crushing it with unreal purity, freshness, and succulent intensity. This is the best vintage of Droin I've likely ever had, with the Les Clos,…
Round and inviting, with a small push of added volume when compared to the bottle of this I had last year. A little less spunk and intensity, this will be a wine for nearer term consumption.…
Starting out muted and simple upon first opening, this Vaillons takes a bit of air and swirling to coax out what depth it's willing to show. Once it budges, deeper honeyed yellow citrus, almond skin,…
Fresh and satisfying, with a lovely density that provides both Grand Cru weight and breadth, this 2019 Droin Vaudesir takes the best of the 2018 and 2017 vintages and combines them to make a 2019…
Lemon juice, chalk, wet white travertine, and lemon pith are pleasantly zingy but also primary and linear. Here there is enough 1er Cru intensity to keep the breadth of delivery at requisite levels,…
As polished as most any wine I've had from Bougros, this Piuze version is a hyper clean and airy expression of the site, with the extra chalky minerality whipping the yellow citrus elements into…
Shy and primary on the initial hit of lemon curd and meringue cookie, but gradually over the course of a few hours, citrus juice and white rock enter the equation. Luscious and slightly rich on the…
There is certainly Grand Cru intensity and power here, with lemon everything exploding in the mouth; limeade, lemon juice, lemontini, honeydew, and crunchy pear notes parade across the palate with…
Deeply pitched and showing a slightly more advanced flavor profile than expected, the Sechet displays notably balanced and medium intensity grilled lemon, clementine, olive oil, and river rock notes.…
Solid performance as always. Fresh and lemon-lime driven, with green apple, quince, and wet limestone notes adding to the profile. Flirts with 1er Cru energy and tension. One of the better base model…
Continuing to drink great. A little hint of the exotic/tropical adds interest and depth. In a perfect place right now. Serve a little warmer than refrigerator temperature but cooler than cellar…
In a perfect drinking window. So tasty and alluring. Notable depth and Grand Cru intensity, this Les Clos delivers exactly what I want from this site and this producer. Lovely lemony succulence with…
A perfect Monday evening sipper, with fresh and salivating yellow citrus and white melon rind notes that hop around the palate, finishing with a soft limestone flavor that adds interest. There's…
Similar to last year. The 2017 has more punch and tension next to this 2018 - not surprising given the comparative vintage characteristics. This still has enough speed, freshness, and grip to keep…
A gorgeous and punchy Chablis, with notable gravitas that extols its 1er cru class with confident depth and sophistication. The weight here is perfectly balanced with the lemon juice and Squirt…
This is a beautiful bottle of wine, but the house style here still continues to perplex me just a bit, as I find it to come off as a more strict interpretation of a Grand Cru Chablis. Nothing wrong…
