*** UN GRAND MERCI! DISCOUNT EXTENDED *** BURGUNDY SPECIALISTS: Ansonia Wines, Our First BD Offer!

[Tom_Wilcox]

I had the good fortune to taste quite a few of these wines. I ended buying the White Burgundy package so I could try all those wines. Tom graciously sent along a couple other wines to try as well.

2019 Domaine Bohrmann Puligny-Montrachet “Grand Champs”
The Grand Champs vineyard lies just east and downhill from the Premier Cru Clavaillon.
Initially reticent nose of lemons, pears, and hazelnuts. Over time, the lemons became more prominent and shifted more toward Meyer rather than Eureka. On the palate, the wine showed lots of lemon and lemon curd, a good acid backbone, medium body, no noticeable oak, and a very nice mid-palate and finish. This has the tension and breed of a very good village-level Puligny-Montrachet. 13.5% ABV

2018 Boyer-Martenot Meursault “Les Narvaux”
This wine opens with an aroma of Granny Smith apples, pie spices, and walnuts, with lemons becoming more prevalent as the wine opened up. On the palate, the wine showed a high level of tension, with lemons in the forefront, good body and a very nice finish. This was a hard wine to put down. It was constantly inviting the drinker to take another sip. I would have liked to see a little more depth, but for a village level Meursault, it acquitted itself very well. 13% ABV

2019 Jean Collet & Fils Chablis 1er Cru “Vaillons”
Classic Chablis, with aromas of citrus (primarily lemons), green apples, and ocean breezes. On the palate, concentrated lemon/citrus flavors, with a hint of seashell. Excellent concentration, medium body with an excellent mid-palate and a great finish. Collet uses little to no oak, so the fruit shows clearly. A great example of a Premier Cru Chablis. Of the three White Burgundies that I tasted, this was my favorite. 12.5% ABV

2018 Bonnefond Cote Rotie “Cote Rozier”
Aroma of black cherry, vanilla, black pepper, clove, and black tea. On the palate, granite, bramble, and red fruit. Some tannins, and oak became more prevalent with time. Good balance, with a nice midpalate and finish. This wine begs for food and would benefit from a couple of years in the cellar. 14.5% ABV

2018 De Boisseyt Saint Joseph “Izeras”
Aromas of blackberries, blueberries, bramble, with a touch of funk. On the palate, savory, but in your face sweet black fruit, with some fig, vanilla, sea salt and stems. Plush, rich, and full bodied. The concentration of fruit makes the wine taste slightly sweet, though it finishes dry. Not an AFWE wine! 15% ABV

2018 Domaine Pierre Andre Chateaunuef-du-Pape
Blueberries and characteristic grenache aromas with a little steminess. On the palate, clean, plush, dark fruits, minerals, and stems. Balance is achieved through very fine-grained tannins rather than acids. Good mid-palate, with the tannins giving the wine a balanced finish. Not a real in-your-face wine, but quite good. I’d like to see a little more concentration from a CdP. 14.5% ABV

2017 Domaine Michel Gros Chambolle Musigny
Aromatic raspberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, and a little funk that blew off in about 10 minutes. Mouth-filling black cherry flavors on the palate. Great balance, smooth, elegant, great mouthfeel, fantastic finish. No apparent oak, nor anything else out of place. A complete wine and one of the best Pinot Noirs I’ve had recently. I had hoped to hold some of this over to try the next day, but the bottle disappeared way too easily. 13% ABV

Thanks Rick! So glad to hear you enjoyed the wines.

Hi Tom,
Great offers. Already in for a 3 pack. If I were to find 9 additional wines I want on the site, can I order them and leave a note to have it all packed together?

[ABell]

Great offer here. In for a couple red samplers. Tom, are you able to hold for better shipping weather? Boston to Reno is below freezing for basically the entire route for at least another month and a half.

Absolutely! Choose “Build a Case” at checkout for the other 9 so you don’t get billed for shipping. Then just put a note in the “order notes” field that asks to combine with your other order.
