2006 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Irancy 87 Points
France, Burgundy, Côtes d'Auxerre, Irancy
Dark-ish colour. A bit of barnyard, soft dark cherries on the nose. Medium bodied, again an airy feeling to this wine. Good balance. Lacks in character and overall complexity.

2006 Thierry Richoux Irancy 85 Points
France, Burgundy, Côtes d'Auxerre, Irancy
From a magnum. It is almost spritzy, very lively and racy. Nose of barnyard, juicy fruits, minerality, dark cherries. Tannin on the upper lip. I was told maceration went on for a year and it seemed correct judging by the wine. It reminded me of some natural wines but in a good way.

2009 Alphonse Mellot Sancerre Rouge La Moussière 88 Points
France, Loire Valley, Upper Loire, Sancerre Rouge
Smoked sausage, fat fire fried sausage on the nose. Sweeter than the previous wines, few tannins, friendly-fruity-light body, also a bit jammy on the palate. Interesting.

France, Jura, Arbois
Spritzy, with a good structure of soft, juicy, excellently balanced red/black berries. Proper restraint. A pleasant surprise.

2010 Adega Algueira Merenzao Ribeira Sacra 90 Points
Spain, Galicia, Ribeira Sacra
Flowery, pronounced herbal notes on the nose, there's also some carrot-vegetal notes. Initially seemed overripe, but it subsided, improved a lot with air. Classy.

Very good overall balance, lightly fruity, very fresh. Soft flowery notes on the nose. Concentrated and mineral palate, quite tight. Lovely.

1997 Domaine J. Chamonard Morgon Le Clos de Lys Flawed
France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Morgon
Murky, pickle notes, low alcohol, high accidity, too "natural" something went wrong here.

2006 Louis Jadot Moulin-à-Vent Clos du Grand Carquelin Château des Jacques 89 Points
France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Moulin-à-Vent
Very meaty, milky sausage, soft nose. Comparatively rustic for a Bojo, but liked it very much.

1990 Château de la Roche Touraine-Amboise 87 Points
France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Touraine-Amboise
Well, second bottle was very nice. Properly mature with some barnyard, dried red fruits and herbs, nothing extraordinery, but just a good bottle of wine to have with some light food.

2009 Olivier Horiot Rosé des Riceys En Barmont 84 Points
France, Champagne, Rosé des Riceys
Light, a bit chemical, flowery notes of hyacinth. Later develops sauerkraut juice notes. Light, even watery body, like a rose (which it is). Geeky and interesting, but on a summer day, no use drinking it when it is cold outside.

2005 Georges Vesselle Coteaux Champenois Bouzy Rouge Grand Cru 86 Points
France, Champagne, Coteaux Champenois
Quite thick for a CdC, but still has characteristic light feeling about it. Nose of dark cherries, peppermint, herbs, herbal teas, Lady's-mantle. Pleasant development in the glass, opens up. It is more a peculiarity, but still a good wine.
