PERFECT MOMENTS
Fresh as daisies or old as dirt, these wines are at an exceptional moment in their lives right now.
We can’t say we’ve tried a lot of 13 year old Swiss wines for comparison, but
we think this one is exceptional. Drinking more like a Riseling than Sylvaner,
the Swiss list it as a hybrid of the two: aka Müller-Thurgau.
2009 Domaine Larue La Garenne / Chardonnay 32
PULIGNY-MONTRACHET 1ER CRU, BURGUNDY, FRANCE
Classic as classic gets. At nine years old, it is just beginning to show its
character of youthful exuberance.
2011 Domaine du Tunnel / Syrah 26
CORNAS, RHÔNE VALLEY, FRANCE
Meaning “Scorched Earth” in Gaelic, the twisted and gnarled Syrah vines of
Cornas usually take at least ten years in bottle to be approachable. However,
this is an extraordinary contradiction.
2014 Thibault Liger-Belair La Roche Vielles Vignes / Gamay 32
MOULIN-À-VENT, BEAUJOLAIS, FRANCE
Beaujolais has too often been the overlooked younger sibling of Burgundy.
Tasting slightly more like a Pinot Noir than a traditional Gamay, this Moulin-
À-Vent is perfectly balanced at this moment.
