Domaine Charles Audoin, Marsannay (Pinot Noir), 2002
Funny and perhaps fitting that after a couple months I start posting again yet with a French wine! And despite all the great Oregon Pinot that I've been drinking recently (see my earlier post), it was apparently this bottle that got me back to blogging ... |

Pierre Morey, Bourgogne (Meursault), Pinot Noir, 2005
This was a bottle brought to a recent dinner we had. Apparently the purchasers of the bottle were talked into the bottle by the wine steward at the now defunct Zupan's that used to be on Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy. They mentioned that they were unsure of ... |

Domaine Michel Gros, Bourgogne, 2004
A number of years ago I had a bottle from Michel Gros at a restaurant -- his Vosne-Romanee -- and it was really nice. In fact, it was memorable enough that when I saw this bottle at Elephant's Deli (a local specialty food store and deli), I had to buy ... |

Francois Gay et Fils, Chorey-les-Beaune, 2006
This was wine number two in our "Pinots of the World" flight night. Next up: French Burgundy. Yummy. The nose was crazy good: peppermint, violet, dirt, leather, tobacco, sweet pea, wood chips, asparagus, cinnamon, mushroom, and dust. Yeah, ... |

Demessey, Premier Cru, Santenay, 2004
This was our third bottle of French red on inauguration night. We were starting desert and I wanted a Pinot to accompany that. Oregon or French was the conundrum. With French wine all night, we opted to keep it totally French and opened up this wine. I ... |

Domaine Bernard Moreau et Fils, Premier Cru, Chassagne-Montrachet, 2002
My brother Matt was coming over for dinner, and he's a big fan of Volnay. And while I swore I had one in my collection, despite my searching, there just wasn't one in my cooler. So off to the wine shop I went in search of a magic bottle from the Cote ... |

Louis Latour, Montagny, Premier Cru La Grande Roche, 2005
Honestly, I'm more used to drinking the lighter whites like Pinot Gris -- if white at all. So, it's hard for me to judge as well as others with a Chardonnay from Burgundy. I found this to be a little buttery (but not overly), and crisp. The flavors ... |

Sebastien Roux, Volnay, 2005
Strangely, I found this bottle at Trader Joe's for about $20 -- which is about half of what you'd normally pay for Volnay. In the bottle, we found a lot of flavors. Sea water and muscles. Raspberries and currant. Slate, mineral. Dry and tart. Dry hay. ... |

Domaine Marchand-Grillot, 'En Song', Gevrey Chambertin, 2004
Smell: Mineral, grass, rose petals, rocks, strawberry. Taste: This is one of the better pinots we've had in a long time. Mineral, grass, rocks. Femine and dainty. This is a very flirty and fun wine because new flavors and textures emerge with each sip. ... |

Maison Bigot & Alex Gamal, Volnay, 1997
Smell: Dirt, dark cherries, moss, rotted plum. Taste: Starting to loose its fruitiness. Needed to be consumed. Light like a soft dirt path. Fungus and rose petals. High quality earth--like you opened up a bag of really good potting soil. Finish: -- ... |
