The Brouilly 2019 last time was not my favourite wine from Richard Rottiers, but the current Moulin-á-Vent (2021) is again outstanding, the kind of wine which makes me a fan and follower of this top Beaujolais producer.

A carbonic maceration cabernet franc – Domaine Breton La Dilettante 2020

Image ~ July 6, 2022July 6, 2022 ~ Zoltán Németi
I rarely buy low SO2 wines anymore as there’s a lot I don’t like about this wine  trend, but La Dilettante amazed me ten years ago so I wanted to give it a try. Well, I’m not the same wine lover as back then…

Back to Rhone – La Vieille Ferme 2021

Image ~ July 5, 2022 ~ Zoltán Németi
A bit of nostalgia, this wine was available in Hungary many years ago, imported by Bortársaság. Then supply discontinued, sadly, but I spot it in the Vinatis webshop when ordering some Loire reds, so here we are.

Supermarket wines: Pierre Chanau Blaye Cotes de Bordeaux 2019

Image ~ March 2, 2022June 14, 2023 ~ Zoltán Németi
New vintage of this great value entry level Bordeaux red, the Blaye Cotes de Bordeaux from Auchan’s own label series. The 2018 was probably even better, though I’m not sure – they are a bit different, showing vintage character I guess. Both very well made and enjoyable.

Must try red – Producteurs Plaimont Monastère rouge 2014

Image ~ February 27, 2022February 27, 2022 ~ Zoltán Németi
Tannat from its homeland, or nearby – OK it’s not from Madiran, but from Gascony. Then it’s a proof that they can match the quality of the more famous appellation, this is a great wine which I enjoyed a lot.

Chablis Grand Cru that lives up to the name – Domaine Christian Moreau Les Clos 2014

Image ~ February 13, 2022 ~ Zoltán Németi

If you saw my previous post I’m sure it’s the third bottle on the photo which got your attention (same photo is featured here). A Les Clos Grand Cru Chablis – a rare treat for most of us, and it’s not just getting crazy expensive but it’s not even easy to find. Continue reading →

Value from the supermarket – Domaines des Lauribert Cotes du Rhone 2019

Picked from Auchan, my third bottle of the wine or so. Lovely affordable Cotes du Rhone red.

Supermarket wines: Pierre Chanau Blaye Cotes de Bordeaux 2018

Auchan nailed it again. Red wine for 6 euros not often gets as good as this.

Top Beaujolais Cru: Clos De La Roilette Fleurie delivers again

Image ~ October 20, 2021 ~ Zoltán Németi

I could only repeat what I said about the 2017: the Clos de la Roilette is a benchmark for Beaujolais Cru. This 2020 is a rockstar. Continue reading →

A beauty: Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette 2017

Image ~ July 31, 2021July 31, 2021 ~ Zoltán Németi
Daniel Bouland is one of the top names in Beaujolais, and rightly so I would say. I tasted his 2017 Morgon Corcelette next to Dorli Muhr’s  Samt & Seide Blaufrankisch 2017, and while the Austrian is really very good, the gamay is just a more complex wine.
