Community Tasting Notes 6

  July 14, 2020 - Quite a vinous rosé, with red notes of strawberry, red apple, red grapefruit and peach meating the oak elevage notes of coffee and fudge, and with a little butter cracker thrown in. Very easily liked and drunk, and is fruity in a way that is not sweet. It has gone through full malolactic fermentation and I think it could perhaps benefitted from less than full malo since it could have used more bite to the acidity. But that is nitpicking with a wine that I have trouble not reaching for another glass of!

  January 30, 2020 - Red apple, fudge, almond paste, bruised apples, grapefruit, flour/bread/dough. Very nice! Tried this in a Syrah glass and a Champagne glass and while the nose was more expressive at first in the Syrah it was more consistent in the long run in the Champagne glass.

  Orange peel, blood orange, blackcurrant, some smoke, spices, black pepper, clove.
  Not so powerful, not so complex, not so long; maybe it needs some time.

  September 15, 2019 - Second of two I have opened this year. Disgorged 08/2018, 60% PN, 40% PM. 3 g/l dosage. Color is a mix of pink and salmon, a lightish orange. The red fruits are delicious here, a blend of strawberry and watermelon. The balance here is dialed in, so the wine translates with an evenness, yet has some good spine and some bread dough in the finish to add some additional complexity. I enjoyed both bottles and will re-buy again when I see it offered.

  July 21, 2019 - First of two. Not much experience with Boulard to this point but we're learning some more here. They are just north (by amount 20 miles) of another favorite producer of mine, Mousse Fils. This bottling is 50% PN / 50% PM, disgorged August 2018 with 3 g/l of dosage and certified AB biologique. This pours a distinctly peach tone. It's crisp, with strawberry and what my senses want to say as mandarin orange, or a citrusy fruit. Kind of racy and minerally, with a fresh, clean finish. Nothing sweet or heavy here. Terrific.
