One of those gamay that will tend to “pinot” over time

This is a big and full wine that that will require some more time in the cellar. Tasted better after a few hours in the carafe

Really enjoyable. Dark cherry finish. Remind me of warmer Pinot climates. Could have been waited a few more years, likely 2 to 5, for full maturity

I'm not sure what to think about this. It was supposed to be the GC of cider so I had quite some expectations. It ended up being a good cider but with nothing so special. Maybe time in the cellar will reveal something

Continues to evolve nicely.
Interestingly, we consumed 2 bottles in 2 different carafe [3 hours], on more "vertical" and one pretty flat. The wine in the flatter carafe had clearly more fruits and less phenolic. But both were good anyway. Will buy again if I can find some

7/30/2016 - Oliviermac Likes this wine:

Great bottle, depth and concentration, mid to long length.
Drinking very well right now, this is an outstanding QPR for 15€

7/7/2016 - Oliviermac Likes this wine:

Classical Pomerol, not overly oaked and with a nice equilibrium of dark red fruits. Sure, it lacks some depth and length, but still, this is very nicely done. Ready to drink imho

6/15/2016 - Oliviermac Likes this wine:

Very balanced wine: good acidity, rounded tannins and expressive palate geared towards fruits and not overly oaked.
I'm really happy with this wine and I find it great especially given the difficult vintage and a very reasonable pricing.

4/9/2016 - Oliviermac Likes this wine:

Dark color, tar, animal nose, ink.
Smokey palate of ripe black cherry. The wine has a super backbone, tannins and acidity so I believe it's good to go for the long haul.
Very nice, able to sustain meat such as duck, or game

4/9/2016 - Oliviermac Likes this wine:

From memory
Lots of white fruits, dry apricot comes in mind. Long finish
Maybe lacks some acidity but very tasty. Not sure there's any incentive to age this any further.
Will buy again

4/3/2016 - Oliviermac Likes this wine:

Apricot & white flower notes, quit a lot of residual sugar (maybe served too warm as well). Nice

3/31/2016 - Oliviermac Likes this wine:

1 hour to open up. No visual sign of evolution, no orange rim.
Nose of strawberry jam. Good balance of fruit and acidity, so this is lively. No need to age this any longer.
Best burgundy QPR in burgundy for a long time (€13), and quality in absolute terms is high enough to make me feel like exploring the producer's wine range.

Tannins are now integrated or are close to it (maybe 1 or 2 more years), so dark fruit start to shine. Oak however has not totally resolved and I'n not sure it will ever.

Simple yet enjoyable Bordeaux, mid-length finish.

Better than in November 2014, excess acidity has somehow resolved. Easy drinking wine, paired with cheese because we wanted the food to prevail over the wine - so nice combination with this arbois

Totally changed in 1+ year. Now this is really good, tannins are well integrated, fruit is expressive, a treat!
Still some ageing potential, but from now on it should be good

There's just too much Syrah in the blend for my taste. Better on day 2 where Douro takes over

Classic and well executed Sancerre (citrus, crisp acidity)

7/18/2015 - Oliviermac Likes this wine:

Tannins and wood well integrated, volatile component disappeared with 1+ hour in the carafe so this might benefit from 1 or 2 more years in the cellar.

Good and delicate expression of ripe fruit from a warm climate

I've had the regular 2010 cuvée and this Cdt Jaubert over the last months : this Cdt Jaubert is head and shoulder above the regular one and is fully worth the premium commanded.

Colour shows some signs of evolution but nose and mouth are very clean.
Aromatics are around cherry, wood very well integrated.
I don't think it will evolve from this point

Decanted two hours
very fruity expression of red Sancerre. Depth and long finish, and had the structure to accompany a boeuf bourgignon
Very nice, can age a few more years to reach peak

2/22/2015 - Oliviermac Likes this wine:

Pretty good indeed but 3 hours in the decanter were not a luxury - probably needed more.

2/6/2015 - Oliviermac Likes this wine:

Has required ~1h to open up.
Classical morgon, well executed and I personnaly enjoyed it being "bio" with very low sulfits level. Fruit concentration lower than in Foillard, otherwise very similar. Quite a lot of sediment on the bottom of the bottle.
Good now and for the next 5 years

1/31/2015 - Oliviermac wrote:

Decanted 2 hours.
Clear ruby colour with no particles in suspension. Raspberry and barnyard nose, same on the palate but it is somehow "diluted", with low tannins.
Very nice for the price (~13€) though

1/30/2015 - Oliviermac wrote:

Dark and thick visual.
Nose is pleasant, animal and black fruit. However the palate is not up to expectations: raw meat, blood but a little thin, tannins are soft but not really rounded. It is overly vegetal and/or green, so the final despite being quite long is not very pleasant and a little dry.
Quite disappointed, was expecting a more "solar" wine. I even wonder if that bottle might have a default

1/24/2015 - Oliviermac Likes this wine:

Nose is around dark cherry, and already there is not too much volatile alcohol left.
This is followed by a full mouth, cherry and cigar, fluid mouthfell despite tannins quite present.
To me it's entering its drinking period (no undue warmth in mouth) and is as good as I expected 2009 to be.
Recommended, 90

Very nice Sancerre, but clearly on the mineral side rather than on the fruit side. Strong acidity at the moment, will require some time, but it can already be tasted that this is great Sancerre. Can't be wrong with oysters pairing (which we did)

1/22/2015 - Oliviermac Does not like this wine:

Still as bad as in previous tastings, but no joke it's great cooking wine thanks to the strong Carmenere grapes tannins

Bought at the domain. Dry (mote than the generic one) and with good acidity, lemon notes - not a traditional cassis, more like a pouilly. Very enjoyable, but limited production pushes the price a bit high (€20)

Silky texture - nose of white fruits with a touch of pepper.
Very enjoyable now but had to keep it fresh to avoid volatile alcohol.
Good QPR (€14)

6/28/2014 - Oliviermac wrote:

Good stuff indeed. Nose is clearly too alcoholic but this wine drinks young. It is full of dark red fruit with deep flavor and some leather. No wood. What's remarquble is the full body of this wine and a (very) long finish. It tastes more like a Morgon/Fleurie that a burgundy aoc.
It's really something to try for those that like young burgundies, awesome QPR as well.

6/25/2014 - Oliviermac Likes this wine:

Very impressed with this village wine! Nose is mainly apple and herbals, remind me somehow of furmint. Good acidity, mineral, apple and lemon. Refreshing wine that makes you come back on it. Pretty long finish.
This is very good in its own, I've tasted many 1er cru that weren't at this level, now I look forward to Fevre GC!

6/23/2014 - Oliviermac Does not like this wine:

This is plonk, no fruit, no aromatics, no texture - too much acidity - just OK for cooking. Bought that to re- discover carmenere grape, what a disappointment

6/22/2014 - Oliviermac Likes this wine:

Nice yellow color. Main aromatics are around apple, with noticeable residual sugar.
Very good chenin with strong fruit aromatics! Highly recommended.
