Introduction

Stopped by Domaine before dinner and got to taste some bottles that were lying around.

Flight 1 (4 Notes)

  • 2006 Noël Verset Cornas 91 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Cornas

    Just a baby, but the fruit is concentrated and pure with a peppery underbelly that I would guess materializes into the exotic beasts that these wines typically become. Won't touch mine for a long time - thinking 2024-2030.

  • 2010 Domaine Pierre Savoye Beaujolais-Villages Élégance 74 Points

    France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Beaujolais-Villages

    A simplistic, juicy Beaujolais. Had the dark berry gamay character, but didn't have the nice earthy tones that you get with some of the better cuvees.

  • 2010 Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Rosso 86 Points

    Italy, Sicily, Etna DOC

    I find that it takes these wines a bit of time to open up. The 2006 seems to be drinking well these days, so it was no surprise to me that this was a bit unyielding and tough. I could sense the red fruit and brambly earth underneath the tannins, but it'll take some time for them to emerge. I'd hold for 3-5 years.

  • 2009 Jean-Marc Millot Savigny-lès-Beaune 86 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune

    A straightforward Burgundy with sappy red fruit tones, nice spices and subtle earth undertones. Feel like a couple years might turn the flavors a bit more exotic but at the present time this is nice pinot noir.
