White - Sparkling
N.V. Jacquesson & Fils Champagne Cuvée No. 736
91 points
Based on 2008, low dosage (1.5 gr/l). Harmonious, intense, floral, Chardonnay-dominated flavours, cool and minerally, fresh, hint of nuts and perfume.
White
2008 Peter Jakob Kühn Oestricher Doosberg Riesling Großes Gewächs
91 points
Ripe and honeyed nose, spiced peach, good depth; quite dry, with "Ecken und Kanten", energetic, good acidity, spicy Rheingau masculinity, uncompromising, noticeable bitters from the maceration on the skins; good length. Not for everybody, I love it.
Red
2006 Domaine Ponsot Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes
91 points
Very stemmy nose, high-toned but deep and and energetic; very elegant and minerally, relatively tight and structured, good length. Not really charming or feminine, may be in a somewhat dumb phase.
White
2009 Domaine de la Grange des Pères Vin de Pays de l'Hérault Blanc
95 points
Marsanne/Roussanne. Very intense nose, deep, honey, spices, roasted "tipsycake" pineapple; on the palate intense, dry, concentrated and minerally, salty, very rich and powerful, excellent length. Great wine.
