2021 Domaine Bernard Baudry Chinon Les GrézeauxCabernet Franc more |
5/8/2024 - EvoPeteMTL Likes this wine: 90 pointsGood wine, but definitely less concentrated and complex than the previous vintages. |

2009 Château CantemerleHaut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend more |
5/4/2024 - EvoPeteMTL Likes this wine: 91 pointsIt's a good wine, but the pyrazine is so predominant I thought this was a cab franc from Loire. In a good phase now, not too much evolution or tertiary notes but quite envoyable and well balanced. Give it 30 min of air to help it stabilize. |

4/29/2024 - EvoPeteMTL Likes this wine: 92 pointsAs good as the last one. Beautiful fruit, very concentrated for the level. Will purchase again. |

2019 Maggy Hawk Pinot Noir UnforgettableAnderson Valley more |
4/28/2024 - EvoPeteMTL Likes this wine: 91 pointsVery vegetal, seems to be coming from a cold climate. Has quite some smokiness to it. It's a good wine but we expected more for the given price. |

2022 Guy Breton Beaujolais-Villages Cuvée MarylouGamay more |
4/28/2024 - EvoPeteMTL Likes this wine: 92 pointsVery lightly extracted wine. Pale color making you think this was blended with white wine. Nice fruit, very easy drinking wine. Everyone enjoyed it. Decanted 30 minutes and this was much necessary. |

2017 Cecile Tremblay Bourgogne La FontainePinot Noir more |
4/20/2024 - EvoPeteMTL Likes this wine: 94 pointsI seriously thought this was outstanding for the appellation. Nice balance right now, not really stemmy, no reduction, just beautiful fruit. The wine is singing right now. Loved this. |

2022 Morgane Turlier Vin de France PangeaTrousseau more |
4/15/2024 - EvoPeteMTL Likes this wine: NRMade the mistake of opening this while it just got bottled recently. It's a natural style of wine that will need a bit of time settling in the bottle. Not rating at this point. |

2022 Domaine Antoine Lienhardt Côte de Nuits Villages Aux VignottesPinot Noir more |
4/14/2024 - EvoPeteMTL Likes this wine: 92 pointsOpen in the morning and drank at night as suggested by the caviste. Light color. Floral notes. Good fruit on the palate. Little to no oak, if any. Good Cote de Nuits wine. |

2020 Thomas Jacquin Arbois Savagninmore |
4/13/2024 - EvoPeteMTL Likes this wine: 92 pointsCuvee Fromenteau. Still very young but nice to drink now. Classic savagnin, a bit of spruce, and the acidity well controlled. Nice wine. |

2022 Pierre Ménard Anjou PlutonChenin Blanc more |
4/10/2024 - EvoPeteMTL Likes this wine: 93 pointsThis is a higher end style of chenin blanc in terms of quality. Reminds me a bit of a Saumur Brézé because it has that burgundy-esque type of nose, but the mouth has lots of fruits, apples, pears. Good length. This is cellar worthy and can benefit from a few years. Well done. Only 1274 bottles made. #118 |

2020 Jean-Claude Ramonet Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les RuchottesChardonnay more |
4/10/2024 - EvoPeteMTL Likes this wine: 94 pointsBeautiful nose, very nutty and buttery at this point because it's obviously very primary. Slight reduction to begin with. Mouth is not quite balanced at this point but you can see the potential of this become a masterpiece. |

2011 Château Rayas Châteauneuf-du-Pape ReserveGrenache more |
4/10/2024 - EvoPeteMTL Likes this wine: 94 pointsI actually really enjoyed this vintage of les Rayas because it's more ready to drink. I was also quite surprised by the lighter color of the wine (lighter extraction, or ripeness?) vs. the 2009 and 2010. |

2019 Domaine des Tours VaucluseRed Rhone Blend more |
4/10/2024 - EvoPeteMTL Likes this wine: 92 pointsVery primary at this point, but the fruit is nice. Give it another 10 years before you open one. |

2015 Jean-Claude Ramonet Bâtard-MontrachetBâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay more |
4/10/2024 - EvoPeteMTL Likes this wine: 97 pointsWhat an incredible wine. It blew me away on the first nose, I knew this was very special. Such complex aromas, a bit of volatile but not annoying me, with an amazing length... this wine brought me everywhere. Simply amazing. Quite evolved at this point for this particular bottle I would not have waited any longer. |

2020 Emmanuel Houillon (Maison Pierre Overnoy) Poulsard Arbois Pupillinmore |
4/9/2024 - EvoPeteMTL Likes this wine: 92 pointsReleased not too long ago. This is quite a typical, well made poulsard with medium extraction, but it's different from the signature darker color, bigger extraction, Houillon poulsard I've had in the past, say 2018. |

2014 Pierre Gonon St. JosephSyrah more |
4/7/2024 - EvoPeteMTL wrote: 92 pointsLots of reduction to begin with, but after 20 minutes the nose really came clean with lots of violets. Mouth has that typical olive brine, not much pepper and grip left. The nose is much nicer than it tastes I guess it’s explained in part by the weaker and colder vintage. Still a nice wine. |

2020 Pierre Frick Riesling CarrièreAlsace more |
4/6/2024 - EvoPeteMTL Likes this wine: 92 pointsTasting at the domain. One my favourites in the lineup today. 7-day maceration skin contact, not like an orange wine but more like a thick / textured riesling. I gotta say all the wines were pretty good and well made. |

2019 Domaine Nudant Corton-BressandesCorton Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
4/5/2024 - EvoPeteMTL Likes this wine: 93 pointsYoung and powerful, but not too rustic as are many Cortons in my opinion. A great wine in the making. My favorite of the lineup. |

2021 Domaine Nudant EchezeauxEchezeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
4/5/2024 - EvoPeteMTL Likes this wine: NRTasted at the domain. More elegant and lighter than the Corton which was more opulent. Still young so not rating. |

2017 Domaine Michel Noëllat Clos VougeotClos Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
4/5/2024 - EvoPeteMTL Likes this wine: 93 pointsTasted alongside the 2016. This was more open for business than the 2016. Less green. Less stems than 2016 or vintage effect? Good concentration, but just a baby. |

2020 Domaine Jean-Marc Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La MaltroieChardonnay more |
4/5/2024 - EvoPeteMTL Likes this wine: 92 pointsVery good Chassagne, buttery notes and quite long. Still a bit rough around the edges but should really improve in 3-5 years from now. |
White |
2021 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Monthélie BlancChardonnay more |
4/5/2024 - EvoPeteMTL Likes this wine: 90 pointsQuite a racy and straight chardonnay. Not very opulent. Not so much new wood to it. Contrasted quite a bit with the Chassagne next to it. Good wine. |
