Domaine Armand Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin “Les Cazetiers” 1er cru 2007

Posted on October 29, 2010 by Lincoln

I went to a wine tasting slash dinner last night, which focused on some very tasty wines from Oliver Bernstein and Domaine Drouhin-Laroze. For comparative purposes these were benchmarked against this wine from Rousseau and a tidy bottle of Bouchard … Continue reading →

Domaine Bruno Clavelier Vosne-Romanée “Aux Brulées” 1er cru 2001

Posted on September 17, 2010 by Lincoln

A vieilles vignes wine too. But they all are nowadays. An ominous looking bottle: covered in patches of mold, a cellar stained label, a capsule that concealed a cork that resembled a Petri dish from Alexander Fleming, and a soaked … Continue reading →

Hubert Lignier Morey-St.-Denis 2002

Posted on September 11, 2010 by Lincoln

They say that your surroundings and mood can affect the assessment of a wine, so in an attempt at full disclosure this one was consumed after a frantic day at work and an information evening at my son’s school that … Continue reading →

Dupont-Tisserandot Corton-Rognet Grand Cru 2006

Posted on May 11, 2010 by Lincoln

Would you believe this is my first bottle of wine in 2 months? Hmmmm, I thought not. Well many bottles have passed under the bridge of vineosity – perhaps I should do a quick summary. Anyhoo, this was one of … Continue reading →

The appellation of Ladoix takes its name from the village of Ladoix-Serrigny, and being situated near the hill of Corton, is neighbours the Corton and Aloxe-Corton appellations. There are some 1er cru Ladoix vineyards, but for the most part these … Continue reading →

Domaine Humbert Frères Fixin 2007

Posted on January 5, 2010 by Lincoln

I had to get the camera out for this wine because I couldn’t find any decent pictures on the net. Any tips to take a better bottle shot would be appreciated. Sweetly perfumed, with cherry, raspberry, earth and a touch … Continue reading →

Hubert Lignier Gevrey-Chambertin 2000

Posted on December 11, 2009 by Lincoln

I recently read a profile of Domaine Lucie et Auguste Lignier on the Burgundy Report. Here’s a link. Anyway, it got me thinking about some Hubert Lignier wines I purchased several years ago, and that perhaps it was time to … Continue reading →

Louis Jadot Vosne-Romanée “Les Suchots” 1er cru 2001

Posted on December 9, 2009 by Lincoln

I had a couple of decent glasses of this one on the weekend. It is now three years since I last tried it, and it is developing nicely; still a few years off its peak, but getting there. A lifted … Continue reading →

Domaine A.-F. Gros Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits 2002

Posted on November 22, 2009 by Lincoln

I bought a few bottles of this a few years ago, trying to find a good value Bourgogne, which should be easier in years like 2002. I think I paid $35, and in hindsight I am not unhappy with the … Continue reading →

Stephane Aladame Montagny 1er cru 2007

Posted on November 12, 2009 by Lincoln

From the Côte Chalonnaise, which lies south of the Côte d’Or, and though considered part of Burgundy, it does not contain any Grand Cru vineyards. I suppose this makes it a poorer cousin, but it can be keenly priced and … Continue reading →
