2014 Jean-Claude Rateau Beaune 1er Cru Les Reversées

No Rating at this point.
It is not the fault of Rateau that the Reversées is not likeable at this point.
In contrast to 2015 an awful lot of 2014 red Burgundys have completely closed doors.
So be patient, lay them away and wait till 2022, I think this wine will then be delicious.

2011 Julie & Toby Bainbridge Cuvée Rouge aux Lèvres
12/4/2014 - Eubulos Likes this wine: 91 Points
Remarkable. Got four Magnums at Ebay (first thought : A Vin de France sealed with a crown cap????) and two empty can only say a very good wine from a neglected variety. If you do not like the Carbon Dioxid sparkle, decant (it is not still fermenting!). Very concentrated fruit, reminding of CabFranc but more bitter tones. Drink it chilled at 12-14 degrees so you can enjoy the freshness. Utterly gulpable and giving no headache. Understandable that the NOMA wanted his wines.

2011 Domaine des Pierres Dorees Beaujolais

Excellent for what it is. Had to date no better simple Beaujolais. I think they do not use 71b, so you have a "true" Beaujolais feel with it.
