2011 Le Grappin Savigny-lès-BeaunePinot Noir more |
1/22/2013 - nicholasharbour Likes this wine: 89 pointsClassic pinot color, young and vibrant in the glass. Two well married elements make up the nose, red fruits, cranberry, strawberry and spice. This blend is a beautifully intriguing introduction. When it hits your lips the silky tanins do all the prep for the elegant fruit to make its entrance. The spiced cranberry and strawberry deliver and evolve through to a raspberry finish. This is a fresh and elegant wine that has very well balanced tanins and acidity. A tasty gift from the vignes in Savigny-lès-Beaune that should not be over looked. |

2011 Le Grappin Savigny-lès-Beaune BlancChardonnay more |
1/22/2013 - nicholasharbour Likes this wine: 90 pointsThe brillant golden color of this wine make it hard to resist. A beautifully integrated nose floats in the glass. The first hints are toasty marsh-mellow camp fire. This is followed up with a mélange of wet stone, citrus, mellon and white flower all deliciously incorporated. On the palate this wine has a story to tell. Starting off very subtle, it slowly envelops your mouth with its relatively full body. The minerality is present complemented by mellon, white pear and grapefruit. As it develops into the second act an awesome zippy lemon-lime zestyness takes you through to the finish. Where it all wraps up with that same interesting first nose aroma of toasty marsh-mellow camp fire meets pear. Nice length in the back end. This is a well balanced wine with a good focused and lively acidity, that will surely develop nicely as it ages. Ultimately a true example of the real potential of chardonnay in Savigny-lès-Beaune. |

Nice balance and complexity. Enjoyed |

5/19/2012 - nicholasharbour Likes this wine: 88 pointsNice valpolicella. Intense flavors. Plums and dark cherries backed by chocolate and leather. Slightly too much sweetness but the wine does not lack too much structure. With the sweetness I expect that it will last a good few more years. |

2005 Veuve Fourny & Fils Champagne Premier Cru Brut Blanc de Blancs MillésimeChardonnay more |
5/19/2012 - nicholasharbour Likes this wine: 93 pointsThis is the champagne we served at our wedding so it was appropriate to share a bottle on our first anniversary. The nose is starting to develop some age with hints of sour notes developing but a great deal of complexity. The bottle was highly effervescent. The chardonnay was very refreshing and crisp in the mouth with nice apples and pears. Seems like it has quite some years ahead to continue to develop. |

5/13/2012 - nicholasharbour Likes this wine: 89 pointsBottle purchased at the domain and aged in our cellar for 2 years. The bouquet developed some mushroom notes and a slight sour smell. The wine was still crisp and lovely. Interesting development however, it did not seem to be more preferable, just different. |
