2020 Domaine la Barroche Châteauneuf-du-Pape Pure BlancClairette Blanche more |
5/8/2024 - SAP Likes this wine: 95 pointsChateauneuf du Pape - Pure Blanc - 2020 from Domaine la Barroche . Made from 100% Clairette ! After two years of cellaring the wine got a yellow golden hue. The nose got a combination of peach, white grapefruit and even the touch of white flowers. The mouth is adding some orange peel and shows slightly excellent acidity with a great and long finish ! Served in a Riedel Sommelier black tie glas makes it a perfect moment. Can't wait to taste 2022 in a few weeks at the domaine ! |

2016 Domaine de la Janasse Châteauneuf-du-PapeRed Rhone Blend more |
4/12/2024 - SAP Likes this wine: 96 pointsTrying a younger one from Domaine de la Janasse 2016 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Tradition. Dark red color, even if its a young wine he has a nose of ripe red and black fruits, violets and pepper. Light acidity in the mouth with well integrated tanins and a little bit of licorice. The 15% alcohol is not bad at all. Its going very well now but even in a decade it will be very nice (in my opinion) ! Good to have some bottles left.... |

2016 Nicolas Champagneux Côte-Rôtie Les Grandes PlacesSyrah more |
1/20/2024 - SAP Likes this wine: 97 pointsWhile watching the second snooker semi final I opened a 2016 Les Grandes Places from the very talented Nicolas Champagneux ! It's his first vintage and the second bottle so far I opened. This is now in a perfect condition(and for many years more). Black cherries, bramble, ground pepper, black currant and leather in the nose. The aromes are roaming around and last very long. The mouth got silky tannins, fresh minerality and some vanilla surrounded even by a fruity character with earthy notes. The palate is also awesome. In my opinion ir's a must have from the nothern rhone. Even the basic cuvee Dedicace is a power wine. It's just from younger grapes. |

2017 Domaine Georges Vernay Côte-Rôtie Blonde du SeigneurSyrah more |
1/17/2024 - SAP Likes this wine: 93 pointsCote-Rotie Blonde du Seigneur 2017 from Domaine Georges Vernay. Dark red in color. Even its quite young or better because of its youth there is a spicy nose of black fruits with an aromatic pepper note. Yes still on the fruity site even in the mouth. Tarte cheeries paired with elegant tannins which makes it complex and underlines the power of aging. Love it ! |

2015 Domaine Marc Morey & Fils Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru En VirondotChardonnay more |
12/3/2023 - SAP Likes this wine: 94 pointsSometimes it has to be just Chardonnay ! 2015 Chassagne Montrachet En Virondot 1er Cru from Domaine Marc Morey & Fils. Light golden color with a rich nose of white fruits like peach, mirabelle, citrus and tangerine. Fruit at its best ! The mouth is smooth with long playing aromes on the tongue. A little acidity supports this great wine and the finish is like salty caramel. Marvellous ! Love it very much and I gladly think of my visit and the magic cellar from Marc Morey. In my opinion his wines are outstanding in Burgundy. Neverthless the whole Morey family does a great Job ! |
