~Comte Lafon Meursault 1999~


Domaine des Comte Lafon Meursault 1999


A rich and creamy Chardonnay!


golden yellow in color with a nutty and vanilla aromas, this wine is best with any cheese ( except blue cheese?) the oakiness of the wine mellows the acid in the Chardonnay, is a round and creamy style with a toast flavors, vanilla, hazelnut, walnut and groundnut characters. a persistent body and superb finish.


Meursault is part of Burgundy and anything falls under this appelation must have a oak influence in its wine to fit the appelation( unlike chablis which is not oak ageing).


recommend to drink this wine now or 5 years from now.

~Dujac Vosne Romanee les Beaumonts 1er Cru 2000~


Domaine Dujac Les Beaumonts 1er Cru Vosne Romanne


Beautiful Pinot with seductive aromas!


The color is red with a rose hue, it is lively and brilliantly clear.

The first nose reminds the exotic flowers bouquet, second nose is pungent with light red fruits, a ripe strawberry notes, fresh blossom scents and cherry. there is a touch of bay leaves and a vanilla scents.

Dujac will never let you dissapointed with his Pinot, the palate is full with red fruits aromas, touch of fine acid balance with a medium bodied alcohol and I could find a sweetness in the end of the palate. A very interesting wine to be drink it with fruits and a roasted duck!
