Domaine du Nival Matière à Discussion 2016 Light gold color, but shiny and youthful. Nose of candied lemon, salty and light oak notes with just a touch of caramel, all in a subtle and elegant way.

Joseph Faiveley Volnay 1er Cru Santenots 2010
Joseph Faiveley Volnay 1er Cru Santenots 2010 Even garnet color through the glass. Elegant nose with load of fruit flavors, spices, earth, dried flowers and something that reminds me of crushed rocks.

Domaine Jean-Claude Ramonet Chassagne-Montrachet 2014
Domaine Jean-Claude Ramonet Chassagne-Montrachet 2014 Light, young and translucid garnet color. Aromas of spicy red berries, smoke and elegant yet subtle oak notes. Even if it shows its youth on the palate, there is fruit flavors, noble green notes, some oak, spices and a light bittterness on the finish. Glad I’ve opened one, even happier […]
Château Lafon-Rochet 4e Grand Cru Classé Saint-Estèphe 2004
Château Lafon-Rochet 4e Grand Cru Classé Saint-Estèphe 2004 Dark garnet color. The depth from the nose gives black fruit notes, spices, earth, smoke and just a hint of burnt wood and red berries that brings in some freshness. Round and silky palate feel, slowly polished by the years of cellaring, but still gives the impression that it’s far from over. Slightly crisp finish with remanescance of the strenght this wine had before. The flavors are of the same type as the aromas with the addition of salty notes on the finish. Very satisfying for a wine bought 8-9 years ago. Excellent (91) Made of 51% Merlot, 46% Cabernet-Sauvignon and 3% Cabernet Franc. Aged 16 to 18 months in oak barrels, 50% being new. Alcohol level of 13% Château Lafon-Rochet’s website: lafon-rochet.com
