Description of the Domaine Comtes Lafon
Allen Meadows : 92-94 points
"A very pungent nose speaks only of reduction and wood. Otherwise the succulent but more voluminous middle weight plus flavors exude a subtle minerality before concluding in solidly powerful, strikingly complex and impressively persistent finish. At the risk of repeating myself, this is not going to wow you with its concentration but it will with its depth and overall sense of harmony and balance."
Clos Des Lambrays
Morey Saint Denis
The colour is ruby with purple tints. The nose combines black cherry and fresh raspberry, peony and violet, with a touch of orange zest, undergrowth and limestone
Domaine J-L Chave
Saint-Joseph
Only 2 bottles/ pers. Saturated red. Powerful aromas of black raspberry, candied cherry, licorice and smoky minerals. Pretty sexy wine
Domaine Sylvie Esmonin
Clos St Jacques
Domaine Gouges Henri
Les Pruliers
Domaine Etienne Sauzet
Puligny Garenne
Pierre Vincent Girardin
Meursault
The wine shows a nose of white fruit, peach and acacia blossom, with a touch of almond and a hint of smoke. The palate is full and concentrated yet fresh and saline, with a clean citrus finish
Domaine Ami
Volnay
Domaine Livera Philippe
Chapelle Chambertin
This is quite deeply colored in the context of what is typical for the 2016 vintage. Ripe and deeply pitched aromas speak of plum liqueur, various dark berries and plenty of earth, sauvage and forest floor elements
Claire Naudin
Côtes De Beaune
Anne Boisson
Meursault
The nose combines lemon, lime, peach and apricot, with a floral and mineral touch. The palate is full and creamy, driven by lively acidity and vibrant fruit. The finish is clean and long, with citrus and minerality
Jessica Litaud
Pouilly Le Trio
The nose combines citrus zest, white peach and dried flowers, with a touch of toasted almond. The palate is full yet controlled, carried by fine acidity and a mineral backbone
Pierre Vincent Girardin
Meursault
The wine shows a nose of white fruit, peach and acacia blossom, with a touch of almond and a hint of smoke. The palate is full and concentrated yet fresh and saline, with a clean citrus finish
