Domaine Michel Lafarge “L’Exception” Bourgogne Passetoutgrain 2005

Posted on September 17, 2011 by Lincoln

Madame Bize-Leroy is popping over for lunch tomorrow; she was jabbering in French to me over the phone during the week and hopefully I have understood her correctly, so I went searching for something to share. During the process, I … Continue reading →

2009 Jean Marc Burgaud Morgon les Charmes

Posted on September 11, 2011 by Andrew

I bought a lot of 09 Jean Marc Burgaud. Jumped right in, and didn’t regret it. You can do a lot worse for the money, and this wine at $26 is worth your attention. Smells of purple jubes, the blackcurrant pastille … Continue reading →

Louis Tête Moulin à Vent 2005

Posted on May 31, 2011 by Lincoln

A dark colour. Much darker than my previous Booj. A complex nose, showing black fruits, minerals, leather and almost pastilley fruits. It doesn’t show the brightness and perfume of a Burgundy, but it is still very nice. The palate is … Continue reading →

Louis Tête Juliénas “Les Capitans” 2005

Posted on May 28, 2011 by Lincoln

No picture this time. We spent the morning at the West End markets today. Some great bargains there, but some vendors who definitely didn’t look like farmers. Hopefully most of our money went to the right people. Oh, and I … Continue reading →

Jean-Marc Burgaud Château du Thulon Beaujolais Villages 2008

Posted on September 1, 2010 by Lincoln

I have had a few bottles of this wine over the year, and it continues to improve. It might even be peaking now, because I have seen some small drinking windows on it. Two or three years. All academic to … Continue reading →

Georges Dubœuf “Jean Descombes” Morgon 2004

Posted on September 25, 2009 by Lincoln

I’ve been getting back into Beaujolais, and have had some very pleasant bottles recently. This was in the middle of the pack. Perhaps I should have reviewed one of the better ones, like the Clos de Haute Combe Julienas. Luckily … Continue reading →

Chateau du Bluizard Brouilly Grand Cuvee 2001

Posted on October 15, 2008 by Lincoln

A big nose, leathered red cherries, barky spices, earth, mushroom compost, a bit of cream, quite rich really. The palate is full, red cherries, somewhat liqueured, with minerals and tangy cherries on the finish. Full flavoured, sweet fruits with some … Continue reading →

Louis Jadot Brouilly 2003

Posted on October 22, 2006 by Lincoln

This is another cru Beaujolais. Light cherries and plums, a bit of cinnamon and cloves, maybe bubblegum – is that possible? Lots of nuances and interest – I am kind of surprised.; it’s like walking along an unfamiliar mountain trail … Continue reading →
