Third-generation Julien, Stephanie, and Mathilde craft gorgeous sparkling wine at Champagne Philippe Fourrier in the southern Cotes de Bar region. Produced from 100% Pinot Noir, their 2010 bottling displays fine streams of bubbles and complex notes of dried golden apple, lemon peel, honey, biscuit, toasted walnut, and smoke. This medium-bodied and refined vintage Champagne drinks beautifully now and will complement butter-poached lobster, roasted chicken with truffle sauce, or gruyere cheese fondue. ce 1847.

This is a refreshing yet full-bodied Champagne ideal for special celebrations and food pairings such as grilled lobster, scallops, crab, sushi, veal, and roast chicken. The effervescence is delicate yet persistent, and the bubbles are very fine. The aromatics show hints of honey and poached ripe apricots, beautifully echoed on the round, rich palate.

2016 St-Émilion Grand Cru Château Marquis de Mons

Posted on by admin

Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon are the go-to trio for many of Bordeaux’s producers for a reason – when they join forces, the resulting wines are dynamic, expressive, and a real treat. The 2016 Saint-Émilion Grand Cru bottling by Chateau Marquis de Mons fits the bill with a core of plump, dark berries that are bolstered by wildflowers, toast, and generous spice notes. Firm tannins and vibrant acidity ensure the wine’s longevity, and at an astonishing 71% off, you’ll want to stock your cellar up!

“…inviting aromas of blackberries and cherries woven together with florals, tobacco, minerals and hints of light spice notes that all take shape beautifully in the glass. This well structured, medium-plus bodied red displays a lovely touch of underlying acidity, which keeps beautifully balanced through the long finish.”

2015 Puy-Blanquet, St-Emilion

Posted on by admin
Full-bodied, ripe, sexy blend of 75% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon,

The Puy Blanquet estate is owned by Madame Marcelle Jacquet, and sits on the eastern side of Saint Émilion. This area’s clay soils are mixed with limestone, imparting both concentration and perfume to the wines grown here. The wine is composed almost entirely of Merlot, with a small percentage of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon blended in.

Overlooking the Dordogne valley in the heart of Saint-Etienne de Lisse, Chateau Puy-Blanquet has northern and eastern blocks that enjoy the morning sunshine. There are 49.42 acres of planted acreage on soils of clay and chalk. The wines produced in this area are fresh and generous.

The 2015 is classic and food friendly, and appeals to a variety of palates. With a definite concentration of black and red berry fruit, the wine maintains elegant tannin and acidity structure to give it definition. The aromatics are stunning. Full and expressive violet, cassis, plum and anise dominate, and the layers of fruit, spice and earth notes are endless. Although it’s young, the beauty of the 2015 vintage is that the wines are open, balanced, and drinkable now. However, if this does make its way to your cellar it will certainly go the long haul.

Chateau Cheval Blanc St. Emilion 2000

Posted on by admin

Holy Grail ~ $1000+

Coming out of a relatively dormant state, this 2000 is a spectacular Cheval Blanc. Of recent vintages, I think only the 2009 can give it a run for its money. A blend of 53% Merlot and 47% Cabernet Franc, the wine has a sweet nose of menthol, melted licorice, boysenberry, blueberry, and cassis. A broad wine with compelling purity, a layered texture, and sweet tannin, with hints of coffee and earth in the background, this is by far the best Cheval Blanc since 1990 and before 2009. It is a legend in the making and can actually be drunk now, as the tannins have nearly melted away. This is a beauty with incredibly complex aromatics. Drink it over the next 25-30 years.

Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue ~ Musigny Cuvee Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru ~ 2012

Posted on by admin

Would Love to Try One…Please Buy Me One..Just One


Pinot Noir from Chambolle-Musigny, Cote de Nuits, Cote d’Or, Burgundy, France

Tasted blind at the annual “Burgfest” tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Musigny Vielles Vignes Grand Cru from de Vogüé has slightly brighter and more vivacious fruit than J-F Mugnier, and in fact, the two wines seem to go in two different trajectories in the glass, this blossoming and the other becoming more occluded. De Vogüé’s Musigny is unashamedly floral in style, very elegant and yet delineated. There is a noticeable estuary scents, mudflats and seaweed, that begin to permeate the fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin, wonderful acidity and succinctly integrated new oak that is barely tangible. It is intense but elegant, long and tender in the mouth. RP 98+

Deep, bright red. Brilliantly complex, focused nose offers scents of redcurrant, blueberry, crushed stone, spices, red licorice, menthol and botanical herbs. Boasts extraordinary sweetness and depth to its chewy, sappy red and dark fruit flavors. Really bulletproof fruit here! Spreads out on the back half to saturate every square millimeter of the palate, finishing with penetrating berry fruit and salty minerality. Remarkably long and tactile. V 96+
