秘密のセラー

Disgorged with three grams per liter dosage, Pascal Agrapart's 2013 Extra-Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Minéral is showing beautifully, mingling aromas of citrus oil, dried apricot, pear, toasted hazelnuts and white flowers in a complex bouquet. Full-bodied, deep and vinous, it's layered and incisive, with a racy spine of acidity and a searingly chalky finish.

Made from 20 year old vines planted high on the steep limestone slopes of Saint-Romain. A wonderful expression of Saint-Romain. Tight, lean, linear, with an appetising, mineral finish.

The 2015 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Macherelles 1er Cru has a terroir-driven bouquet: quite stony, pebbly, with touches of wild mint and perhaps garrigue in the background. The palate is crisp and fresh with superb tension. There is real race and poise on the finish.

The 2016 Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères is the most reserved of Carillon's lieux-dits bottlings, unfurling in the glass with aromas of lemon oil, white flowers and pastry cream. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, silky and pure, with the most tension and cut of his three Puligny village bottlings, displaying excellent depth at the core and a long, precise finish.

Pristine condition, absolute stunner, rich fruit, spicy, silky, excellent acid, perfect finish. Drinking perfect now but no time to rush.

Aromas of crushed rocks, white flowers, lemon oil and crisp green apple preface the 2016 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Champ Gain, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and textural wine with broad shoulders and superb energy and length that concludes with a mouthwateringly saline finish.

The 2007 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Champs Gains has a crisp, orange zest and nectarine-scented bouquet with touches of limestone underneath. The palate is well balanced with crisp lime, orange peel and citrus notes, gradually building towards a confident finish.

The 2013 Puligny-Montrachet les Perrières 1er Cru has a delicate popcorn and almond scents. The palate is clean and fresh with orange zest and spicy notes on the entry, a crisp line of acidity and a long build on the finish that finally delivers what you expect from this vineyard with enticing salinity on the aftertaste.

This brilliant white Hermitage from the top of the granite dome of this appellation offers notes of roasted hazelnuts, nectarine oil, citrus, quince and crushed rocks. Astonishingly full-bodied and rich, particularly in view of the vintage conditions

The 2008 Meursault 1er Cru Les Poruzots has a complex bouquet with touches of dried honey, spice, orange peel and earth that draws you in. The palate is well-balanced with a fine bead of acidity, plenty of primal, almost tropical fruit with a peachy, generous finish.

Boillot's 2016 Meursault 1er Cru Les Poruzots reveals attractive aromas of ripe green apple, Meyer lemon, white flowers and almond paste. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered and pure.

The 2007 Ermitage Cuvee de l’Oree reveals a light gold color as well as a rich nose of flowers intermixed with honeyed oranges, apricots, quince, and currants. Deep, full-bodied, and multidimensional

The 2008 Corton Blanc flows with mint, flowers, light honey and pears. It is a classy, understated wine that impresses for its balance and polish. Bright, floral notes reappear on the finish, adding brightness and lift.

Possessing sensational purity and freshness, yet with tons of richness and depth, the 2014 Condrieu Coteaux de Vernon sports a medium-gold color as well as killer notes of orange marmalade, flower oil, toasted bread, brioche and crushed rock-like minerality. It's a big wine, yet stays gorgeously pure, fresh and focused, and is a quintessential Condrieu.

The 2008 Ermitage le Meal Blanc is a serious, full-bodied, ripe and textured beauty that has lively acidity in its honeyed fruits, buttered-citrus and caramel aromas and flavors. Defying the vintage stereotype and possessing ample ripeness and depth

The Meal 2007 has stunning concentration, density, depth and texture. Still light/medium gold in color, it offers classic crushed-rock-like minerality, licorice, charcoal and sautéed peach characteristics to go with a lively, fresh, yet full-bore and decadent profile on the palate.

The 2016 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes has a clean and precise bouquet with cold stone and flint aromas, great articulation of the terroir here with underlying hints of orange pith and pink grapefruit. The palate is well balanced with a fine thread of acidity, waxy in texture with a fine sense of drive.

Trimbach's iconic Clos Sainte Hune comes from a 1.67 hectare plot on the Grand Cru Rosacker but is sold as Clos Ste Hune since 1919. The densely planted vines are pretty old (more than 50 years on average), with the oldest planted in the 1940s and the youngest in the 1980s. The 2013 Riesling Clos Ste Hune shows a very clear and deep, dusty/smoky, mineral nose which impressively reflects the Muschelkalk terroir. Rich, precise and pure also on the nobly textured and highly elegant palate this expressive and full-bodied Riesling is penetrating mineral and piquant but also very juicy. The finish is extremely long and complex.

The 2016 Meursault 1er Cru Sous le Dos d'Ane offers up a pretty bouquet of crisp Anjou pear, white flowers, hazelnut cream and wet stones. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, delicately textural and incisive, with brisk acids, a tight-knit but nicely concentrated core and a precise, racy finish.

A pungent suggestion of diverse hedge flowers and high-toned herbs rises from the glass of Dagueneau 2010 Blanc Fume de Pouilly Silex; then migrates to a palate dominated by succulent grapefruit, white peach, and cassis. Breadth, opulence, sheer extract, a silken texture, and high glycerin, all seem to enhance this Sauvignon’s sense of sweet ripeness, though citrus zest and berry skin lend satisfying counterpoint.

The 2015 Meursault 1er Cru les Grand Charrons from Boisson-Vadot has an attractive bouquet with shaved almond and orange blossom scents that gently unfurl from the glass. The palate is well balanced with a twist of dried orange peel on the entry, sagging a little on the mid-palate but returning with a poised, ginger-infused finish.

The 2012 Saumur Brezé has a lovely clear, pure and complex bouquet exhibiting almost exploding tropical fruit flavors along with quince, honey, ripe and potted pears, ginger, green grape berries and a spicy touch of oak. Full-bodied, very intense and mouth-filling but also very clear, vibrant, straightforward and refreshing, this persistently salty, delicately racy and piquant Chenin finishes with a gentle touch of oak and reveals a great aging potential.

The 2012 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre is offering up a riper bouquet of fresh peach, green apple, beeswax and oyster liquor that's also framed by a light touch of reduction and reveals a very delicate touch of recently used oak influence. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, broad and satiny, with more amplitude and flesh, with a deep, concentrated core.

Foillard's 2017 Morgon Côte du Py is unwinding in the glass with aromas of cherries, red berries, grilled meats, rose petals and orange rind. It's medium to full-bodied, velvety and fleshy, with fine and powdery tannins, lively acids and a ripe core of fruit.

This is a serious and complicated bottle with a multi-dimensional presentation of dark fruits, spice, floral notes, scorched earth and minerals. There's something incredibly charming about the wine's honesty and gulpability.

Sous Roche is the red Saint Romain of the estate. The vines here are fifty years old and are in one of the steepest, highest parcels in Saint-Romain. True to terroir, this is a lively, lean and vertical expression of Pinot Noir that blossoms in the glass. Old vines of fine pinot which give a wine of superb fruit, elegance and finesse. Gorgeous!

The 2009 Pommard Les Epenots is a huge, powerful wine imbued with the essence of dark fruit, smoke, tar and licorice. This massively structured tannic wine appears to have a brilliant future ahead of it once it settles down in bottle.

Reasonably intense nose of high complexity (red fruit of cherry and raspberry, floral notes of violet, animal notes of game, mineral notes of earth), the wine has elegance and a good balance, showing decent flavors of nice concentration and also a fairly long finish.

Showing the sunny, supple and perfumed nature of the vintage, the 2011 Ermitage Les Greffieux gives up sweet red currants, blueberry, violets, graphite and spice in its medium to full-bodied, sexy style. Hard to resist now, it will evolve gracefully through 2026.

Le Moine 2007 Pommard Rugiens smells of ginger bread, mace, resin, and roasted red meats. Deeply marrow-rich, sirloin juice, spice-tinged flavors inform a palate surprisingly plush and texturally seductive for the vintage, leading to a long finish in which a sense of dark berry sucrosity as well as of freshness merges with smoke and crushed stone elements to complement the wine's uncanny sense of carnality.

The 2010 Cote Rotie La Mordoree offers an impressive dense ruby/purple color along with a sweet bouquet of bacon fat, black olives, black currants, raspberries, earth and forest floor. Ripe and medium-bodied with light to moderate tannin.

The 2014 Nuits St Georges 1er Cru les St Georges has a well defined bouquet, reserved at first but unfurling with wild strawberry and redcurrant fruit infused with minerals. The palate is medium-bodied and strict, and there is a touch of spice.

The 2009 Chambolle-Musigny La Combe d’Orveaux comes across as quite lush and powerful. This is one of the few 2009s here that speaks more to the year than it does to the vineyard. Wine lovers who appreciate the ripe, seductive side of Burgundy will love the Combe d’Orveaux.

Made in a lighter style, but still a full-bodied, powerful wine, the dark purple-hued 2007 Ermitage Le Pavillon reveals aromas of creme de cassis, black truffles, cold steel, and crushed rocks. Dense and tannic, with good acidity, resounding richness, and a substantial finish, it is a top-notch effort that should evolve for three decades.

Le Moine 2007 Vosne-Romanee Les Petits Monts are strikingly redolent of pink grapefruit and blood orange, along with bittersweet, iris-like floral perfume, fresh black fruits, and intimations of forest floor. This displays white wine-like vivacity and refreshment, its tannins entirely subsumed under a torrent of sheer fresh fruit and finishes with exhilarating impingement of citrus oils, brown spices, chalk, salt, and fresh berries.

Very delicate nose of green notes, stems, herbaceous, fine tobacco. On the palate classic Cabernet Franc: Herbaceous, green pepper, fine red fruit, some barn notes. Good grip, very elegant, very good balance, lean, juicy. Wonderful silky texture. Long finish with fine red fruit and garden herbs.

The 2012 Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru comes from one 0.65-hectare parcel from vines planted in 1938 planted by Louis Trapet, the other planted in 1965. It has a stony, earthy, introspective bouquet that is extremely defined. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, tensile tannins with piercing acidity and a riveting chalky texture that electrifies the senses. This is very natural, very terroir driven – intellectual as much as a sensory proposition.

The 2003 Ermitage le Meal is tasting like a dry vintage port, yet with no sensation of heat or alcohol, it offers an insane bouquet of cassis, cracked pepper, violets, and mint that's literally overflowing the glass. Full-bodied, uber concentrated, voluptuous and still fresh and pure.

Le Moine 2007 Echezeaux smells of ripe plum, brown spices and wood smoke; offers ample, juicy, and invigoratingly tart-edged fruit and marrowy meatiness on the palate; and finishes with its tannins a bit awkwardly to the fore.

Le Moine 2007 Clos De La Roche is redolent of smoked meats, ripe red fruits, leather, and pungent spices including black pepper, all reminding of Saouma’s comment that this site can render Pinot a bit Northern Rhone Syrah-like. It finishes with sappy plum and red fruit persistence underlain by chalk and meat stock. The abundant tannins here are fine-grained and finely distributed.

The 2010 Saumur-Champigny Le Clos is fragrant and floral on the nose where tenderly ripe cherry flavors and black berries indicate a classic Cabernet Franc. Vigorous, well concentrated and with gripping tannins and a vital acidity this pure, medium to full-bodied wine exhibits ripe fruit aromas of black olives and dark berries and leather,

Le Moine 2007 Chambertin Clos De Beze combines unanticipated aromas of blueberry with the more predictable but lovely dark cherry, licorice, rose petal, and blood orange rind. There is almost a honeyed sense of sweet richness on a palate of seductive silkiness, but there is irresistibly juicy fresh fruit persistence, and suggestions of soy and rare beef juices remind one of the animal and mineral dimensions possessed by all great red Burgundy. Citrus zest and brown spice notes add a further invigoration to a finish both rich and vivacious.

The Le Moine 2007 Bonnes Mares (of which there are two barrels) smells and tastes of black raspberry preserves and horehound; presents a palate of sweet richness, bitter-sweet herbal pungency, and chalky minerality; and is undergirded by some of the firmest if also fine-grained tannins you will encounter in its vintage.

The 2012 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has an exquisite bouquet with fragrant wild strawberry, bergamot and forest floor that simmers with tension, subtle touches of cassis unfolding in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, slightly chalky tannins, over a layer of effervescent candied fruit – mandarin and apricot enriching the finish.
