Time is running – week 30 already. The weekend wines were all very worthy, fortunately: 2018 C&F Gueguen, Chablis 1er Vaucoupin Open, and easy aromas – I think I may guess Chablis blind. In the mouth similar – a certain fluidity if concentration – but the extra… Read More
wines – weekend 7 2023


2019 Raphaël Chopin, Beaujolais-Lantignié Blanc Theia Lemon yellow. An easy nose, attractive depth and some interest – that’s a nice start. A supple width of sweet flavour then a wave with saline accents before a more mineral finish – slowly mouth-watering. I’d guess blind that it was… Read More

a couple of mid-weekers…


Week 43, 2022 – already! And you can see that my cold has improved – right? 🙂 2017 Domaine Verret, Bourgogne Côte d’Auxerre Les Gaudiers Young colour. A nose that is incisive to start but still shows plenty of creamy oak in the background. Just as incisive… Read More
