2020 Domaine Pavelot (Regis / Luc et Lise) Pernand-Vergelesses

A beautiful example of village-level Burgundy, with the whole woods there. You get fresh cherries from the trees, redcurrants from the bushes, and loads and loads of forest floor, mushrooms and dried leaves and gamy notes and barnyard. As the wine sits in glass, some richer aromas come out, and by the end there’s milk chocolate and raspberry (Brits can I get big ups for Terry’s chocolate raspberry, it’s kind of like that). Very enjoyable.

2022 Château Yvonne Saumur-Champigny La Folie

Loire Cab Franc never fails to cheer me up. Red fruits galore, with crunchy cherry and juicy raspberry, some deeper and wilder notes of smoke, cedar, pipe tobacco, and paprika, and a nicely chewy tannin structure. It’s a real beauty by itself, but I can imagine this going so, so well with some roasted or barbecued meats, all hail this most food-friendly of grapes.

2018 Domaine Allimant-Laugner Gewurztraminer Praelatenberg

A dense, medium-sweet Gewurz with a lot of what you might expect, oily texture, especially given the residual sugar, restrained acidity, and just… the most complex nose. Lychee, rose, and peach, yeah I expect that. But what I didn’t expect? The notes of pastry, spicy cologne with sandalwood and leather dimensions, and Nag Champa incense (sophomore year dorm room all up in here), all finishing up with a refreshing honeydew finish. Just a beautiful expression.
