Bluxome Street Winery, San Francisco
Tasted Wednesday, November 6, 2013 by drwine2001 with 1,300 views
This was a nice kickoff event before La Paulee returns to San Franciso next March. The notes represent a fraction of what was poured; I tasted selectively and completely skipped all of the 2011 Beaujolais and the Chalonnais table.
Good depth of color. Crisp, focused wine with rising sappy black cherry fruit and an anise edge. Denser than the usual Fleurie.

Medium red. Smooth, elegant red fruit of perfect ripeness complemented by some herbs. Long, sappy and tannic. This balances airiness with excellent concentration. A beauty and a Beaujolais for the Burgundy afficionado.

Light. Pretty neutral aromatics and flavors now.

This has admirable mouth feel and vibrant orange scented fruit in a middle weight package. Very good at this level.

Dense and chalky. Impressive weight and depth, fine acidity. Quite an accomplishment for St. Romain.

Seductive feel, mouth carressing citrus. Perfectly ripe without any sweetness.

Deep color. Black fruited, lean, high acidity, some anise. Needs time and/or air.

Ripe berry-like cherry fruit. Light to medium weight but packs a punch with some texture, good length and a lovely dusting of soil on the finish.

Medium color and weight with some sappiness. Good mix of black and red fruit. Pretty civilized for a Marsannay.

Light color. Red fruit. Tangy like a Savigny.

Gamy nose. Light color. Medium weight. Crackling, tart red/black fruit and smoke. Not nearly as overburdened by wood as many Arlots I've had. Very good.

Attractive nose of faded roses and strawberry fruit. Medium weight, solid acidity, some obvious wood and earth at the end.

Pale color. Earthy and light with an equal mix of delicate red fruit and soil. Gentle tannins. Completely clean and not a bit overripe. Very typical Gevrey village and much more satisfying than many older, funky bottles of Maume.

Open and friendly. Good texture and nice acidity at the end.

Light, earthy and inconsequential.

Medium weight. Good balance of ripe and saline elements. I like the balance.

Sulfur nose. Thin feel, muted flavors. Not too much going on with this now-completely stunted by sulfur.

Some sulfur along with white flowers and lemon oil. Lean and closed on the palate, again probably subdued by the sulfur at this point.

Medium yellow, middle weight. Round without being exotic and very well structured for a 2006. However, it lacks Grand Cru intensity.

Rich nose with toasty oak. Lush and glyceral but not overripe. There is some salinity underneath, but I think I might mistake this for a Cotes de Beaune if I were to taste it blind.

2010 Deux Montille Pouilly-Fuissé

Classy feel, depth and minerality. Much tighter and precise than most of these wines.

2010 Domaine Cheveau Pouilly-Fuissé Vers Cras
France, Burgundy, Mâconnais, Pouilly-Fuissé
Rich and very toasty. Heavy handed wood treatment swamps whatever else is there.

2011 Domaine Robert-Denogent Saint Véran Les Pommards Vieilles Vignes
France, Burgundy, Mâconnais, Saint Véran
Chalky underpinning, lemony fruit, bright acidity and good structure. Excellent and probably the most restrained wine of the group.

2010 Domaine Sainte Barbe Viré-Clessé Thurissey
France, Burgundy, Mâconnais, Viré-Clessé
Very light red with faint red fruit. More earth than fruit on both the nose and palate.
