7/28/2023 - WaiCellar Likes this wine: 95 pointsQueen of Meursault indeed. So well balanced, fresh and elegant almost 20 years since bottling. Reminds me of an outstanding Corton Charlemagne |

2013 Domaine Roulot Meursault Les Meix ChavauxChardonnay more |
4/29/2023 - WaiCellar Likes this wine: 95 pointsComparing this to 2007 Arnaud Ente Meursault and 2016 Coche Dury Meursault - this is my favourite. So floral and full of minerality. Fresh and balanced. I prefer this crisper / more elegant expression of Meursault |

2009 Henri Boillot Corton-CharlemagneCorton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay more |
2/5/2023 - WaiCellar Likes this wine: 92 pointsFirst taste without decanting was a bit disappointing - not enough acidity. But got progressively better over time. When we finished the meal after three hours, the wine was drinking beautifully and the lack of acidity was easier to overlook with other flavours more pronounced. Did not blow me away but it’s quite well made |

1/31/2023 - WaiCellar Likes this wine: 88 pointsWell balanced with lots of fruit. But too straight forward and not much complexity. For this price, not good value for money |

12/28/2022 - WaiCellar Likes this wine: 90 pointsQuite elegant but feels a tad thin relative to the Cuvée des Enchanteleurs |

2003 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La LandonneSyrah more |
12/22/2022 - WaiCellar Likes this wine: 91 pointsMaybe it’s just this bottle - the bouquet / color is excellent and the finish is smooth, but lacks the structure that I expect from this 20-year old Guigal wine |

2014 Pertois-Lebrun Champagne Grand Cru Les Chétillons N°14Chardonnay more |
12/22/2022 - WaiCellar Likes this wine: 90 pointsGreat acidity and nose, but the finish is a bit thin and not that complex |

2020 Domaine Darviot-Perrin Meursault 1er Cru Les GenevrièresChardonnay more |
12/22/2022 - WaiCellar Likes this wine: 93 pointsPretty rich Meursault. Really liked it but seems quite difficult to find in retail |

2011 Didier Dagueneau Pur SangPouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc more |
6/14/2022 - WaiCellar Likes this wine: 90 pointsSuch a unique wine. Very balanced acidity and so much minerality that I feel like it’s borderline savoury. Kept for three days and still tasted very well after three days in the fridge |

1995 François Raveneau Chablis Grand Cru ValmurChardonnay more |
6/4/2022 - WaiCellar Likes this wine: 93 pointsStill incredibly fresh. Rather pleasantly surprised. Very balanced with good acidity and body. Deep golden color that is typical of Raveneau |

2014 Joseph Drouhin Bonnes MaresBonnes Mares Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
5/6/2022 - WaiCellar Likes this wine: 91 pointsQuite unusual bouquet for a Bonnes Mares. A lot of mint / menthol - quite refreshing and much fresher than a usual Bonnes Mares, but as a result not enough intensity |

NV Jacques Selosse Champagne Brut RoséChampagne Blend more |
5/2/2022 - WaiCellar Likes this wine: 95 pointsThis has gotten some expensive in recent years, and I hate myself for not buying more when I thought value was still great. Nevertheless, this is amazing, and despite the price tag, I think it’s still worth the money. There’s something special about a Selosse champagne - like a Krug, the bouquet is just unique and even my unsophisticated palette can identify it blind. Floral notes with well balanced acidity. Round, long finish. Love it |

2002 Emmanuel Rouget Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Cros ParantouxPinot Noir more |
4/22/2022 - WaiCellar Likes this wine: 95 pointsTasted blind. No decanting needed. Wow, what a unique bouquet - one of these really special profiles that I think I will remember forever. Floral, spice, dark fruits, cherries etc. Elegant, long finish. Very well made |

NV Ulysse Collin Champagne Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut Les PierrièresChardonnay more |
4/15/2022 - WaiCellar Likes this wine: 89 pointsWas very excited to try this because this maker has been all the rage lately. I must say I am somewhat disappointed. It’s a lighter style of champagne with plenty of acidity and floral notes. But to me it’s a bit too simple and not enough complexity. I thought this would be as special as say a Selosse but my expectations turn to be ill-informed… while I would still gladly (sometimes illogically) bid up for a Selosse bottle, I find this to be somewhat overpriced relative to the actual quality of the juice. It’s well made, but not memorable |

4/6/2022 - WaiCellar Likes this wine: 90 pointsReally wonderful bouquet typical of Barolo, but this needs some more time to develop. A bit too tannic at this point. Robust and masculine |
