  La Paulée de Los Angeles Grand Tasting (The Fairmont - Santa Monica CA): Walkaround tasting. Red and black cherry with good volume for Village level wine, maybe slightly candied, but very good overall with very good length. Good young.

  Assessing 2021 Burgundy-La Paulée de Los Angeles Grand Tasting (Fairmont Miramar, Santa Monica): Pale. Tart fruit and spice aromas. Medium to light weight. Fruit pushed aside by assertive greenness, high acidity, and a bit of soil. This is penetrating but not in a good way. Overall, too dry and tart.

  Tasted at La Paulee Los Angeles. Great QPR, a nice house wine. Impressive.

  The adage “Fourrier in cool vintages” seems to play here, and even in most warm vintages this has become such a go to Burgundy, seeming to routinely beat its village expectations.
  
  This 2021 may be a touch light in fruit, but it still has the presence of a proper Burgundy with excellent, brooding spice and fine acidity both framing the red-purple fruit beautifully. Ethereal, complex and balanced, it’s one of those I’d happily drink til’ it’s gone.
