2019 Lamy-Caillat Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets
3/31/2024 - felixp Likes this wine: 93 Points
Fine mineral core, as you'd expect from the vineyard, complex and opulent, great length. Hint of anise on the back palate. Lovely wine within the restraints of the terroir.
Laughable price, whilst entirely not the producers fault, its a poster-child for everything that is wrong with Burgundy pricing at the moment.
Buying the likes of Lamy-Caillat and Bizot is akin to going all-in on the stockmarket around September 1929 lol.

2018 Giaconda Chardonnay Estate Vineyard
1/24/2024 - felixp Likes this wine: 90 Points
Nice wine, but chewed up and spat out by the Leeuwin 2018 in our annual Giaconda v Leeuwin January tasting. This time, the 2018, 2014 and 2010 vintage were in the gun.
Leeuwin streets ahead in 18 and 14, the 2010 was line-ball, I marginally preferred the Leeuwin, but it was a 4-4 vote (8 very experienced wine drinkers, 5 in the trade)
I guess its "groovy baby" to produce massively reduced chards, perhaps aimed at pleasing bored wine critics and delighting label-drinkers, but when you stack up these two winerys, one is constantly and significantly better, and it is now 1/3 the price!!! lol.
I must be one of those fools who drinks wine for enjoyment.
