2017 Georges Glantenay Volnay
Pale ruby in the glass
Blueberries and tarragon on the nose, the tiniest hint of nectarine.
Acidic on the palate. Cranberry, plum, grilled peaches.
Great pairing with roasted chicken thighs.
Really nice wine in a great drinking spot at 9 years. Complex and pleasurable, the slightly too high acidity was the only thing keeping this wine from being outstanding.
4.5 / 5
2017 Chappoutier Crozes Blanc
Copper gold in the glass
Straw, honeysuckle cantaloupe on the nose.
On the palate bruised apple, almond and asian pear.
This was not how this wine was meant to be experienced. In spite of being obviously oxidized, this was still a pretty enjoyable wine that was complex and refreshing.
3.9/5
