2016 Domaine Gigou Jasnières Jus de Terre
4/26/2024 - JJYoyo Likes this wine: 88 Points
Fierce acidity, nice combination of oxidative and fleeting reduction notes. Nose has nice balance of tart and stalky elements. Palate is driven overwhelmingly by tart green apple, obliterating what promises to be more intriguing tastes underneath. Maybe a few years would mellow this out — Gigou wines can have a preternatural durability. For now:
Score: 88. Relative to expectations: 0.

2018 Domaine Génot-Boulanger Puligny-Montrachet Les Nosroyes
4/21/2024 - JJYoyo wrote: flawed
Tasted over 2 days and a range of serving temperatures and this was a startlingly acidic lemon fest no matter what I did. Shocking given the vintage and so at odds with other TNs here that I hav to assume it’s a flawed bottle - although I am hard pressed to name the flaw.

2018 Château Valandraud
4/20/2024 - JJYoyo Likes this wine: 92 Points
1 hr decant. Very blue/purple color, striking to look at the decant dregs. Much sterner and more fierce than a stereotypical St Émilion. Intense dark fruit, still quite strong tannins. This is right now much more about power than precision; it was hard for me to pick out individual aromas in the bouquet or palate. Will this monolithic beast sort itself in the fullness of time? Above my pay grade to answer — I don’t have nearly the experience with Valandraud to answer. Right now, more impressive than endearing.
