🍷 Lucien le Moine Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes 2015

👍🏼 I’m particularly curious to see how the 2015 Burgundy vintage has evolved with time. I’ve chosen an exceptional bottle from Lucien Le Moine to explore its development and see how this remarkable vintage is showing today.

🏡 Lucien Le Moine was founded in 1999 in Beaune by Mounir and Rotem Saouma. Unlike most Burgundian producers, they work primarily as a micro-négociant, purchasing exceptional lots from renowned growers. Annual production is tiny, making their wines highly sought after among Burgundy collectors.

🍇 100% Pinot Noir from the 1er Cru Les Charmes vineyard in Chambolle-Musigny.

🗜 Manuell harvested grapes from old vines. Native yeast fermentation, gentle handling and maturation in high-quality French oak. Unfined and unfiltered.

⏳ 20 months in French oak barrels, with a relatively high proportion of new oak.

🔬 Alcohol: 13.5 % vol., Acid: 5.5 g/l and Sugar: < 3.0 g/l.

💨 Opened and decanted for 1 hours aeration.

🎨 Medium ruby color with slight garnet reflections, still youthful brightness.

👃🏼 Highly expressive and perfumed aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, rose petals and violets, layered with forest floor, mushroom, crushed stone, spice, subtle vanilla and fine French oak.

👄 Silky and refined from the first sip, offering vibrant red berries, sour cherry, cranberry, earthy minerality and delicate spice. The tannins are exceptionally polished, while the finish is long, elegant and beautifully balanced between freshness and depth.

💶 Some few bottles left in VMP Special Shop with item no.: 19065001 to NOK 2498,80 for 2022 vintage. I paid NOK 1012,40 for the 2015 vintage in February 2018

📦 Importer: Wintailor AS

👍🏼 This is a benchmark example of luxurious, modern-styled Chambolle-Musigny. While the price is undeniably high, the quality is equally impressive. Onetousendandtwentyone Norwegian money, is good rather than exceptional QPR. Still, the wine delivers an unforgettable experience.

🍷 Clos de la Chapelle Corton Bressandes Grand Cru 2016

🇫🇷 Happy Pinot Noir Thursday 🇫🇷

🍇 100% Pinot Noir from 45 years old vines in the tiny 0.20 hectares parcelle in Corton Grand Cru – lieu-dit Les Bressandes, on the Corton hill in Côte de Beaune.

♻️ Domaine Clos de la Chapelle states that its vineyards are certified organic and that it follows biodynamic principles.

🗜 Hand harvested and carefully sorted. 6–7 days cold maceration and using indigenous yeasts. Regular remontage/pump-overs. Temperatures gradually reaching approximately 30°C and around three weeks total maceration. Minimal intervention, no fining and no filtration.

⏳ Aging approximately 15–18 months in French oak barrels before bottling.

🔬 Alcohol: 13.5 % vol. and Sugar: < 3.0 g/l.

💨 Opened and decanted for appx. 2 hours aeration.

🎨 Clear, deep ruby-red color moving towards garnet and brick at the rim.

👃🏼 Initially restrained and distinctly mineral, gradually opening towards black cherry, wild strawberry, raspberry and cassis, followed by dried rose petals, forest floor, crushed stone, cedar and subtle smoky oak in the background.

👄 Deep and concentrated yet surprisingly elegant. A juicy core of red morels, dark cherry, raspberry and plum is wrapped in finely grained but still noticeable tannins. The finish is long, savoury and mineral, with red and black fruit slowly fading into earth, spice and fine tannin.

👍🏼 This is an impressive example to just a cost of eighthundrerandseventyone norwegian-money, why less famous Burgundy producers can sometimes provide vastly more interesting and higher QPR than famous labels from the same classification.

🏡 Penfolds was founded in 1844 by English physician Dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold in Magill, just outside Adelaide. Penfolds began as a small vineyard intended to produce fortified wines for medicinal use. Today Penfolds is regarded as Australia’s most prestigious winery and is internationally famous for its philosophy of multi-region blending. The winery’s legendary chief winemaker Max Schubert revolutionized Australian wine with the creation of Grange in the 1950s, establishing Penfolds as one of the world’s greatest producers.

🍷 Piaggia Poggio de’Colli Cabernet Franc Toscana 2017

🥂 Here I come across a distinctive Tuscan Cabernet Franc from the hills of Carmignano, crafted by the small, but highly respected estate Piaggia. Unlike many Tuscan reds dominated by Sangiovese, Poggio de’ Colli is a single-varietal Cabernet Franc, produced in relatively small quantities from one of the estate’s best vineyard sites.

🏡 The estate Piaggia was founded in the 1970s by Mauro Vannucci in the hills of Poggio a Caiano, near Florence. Initially the vineyard was farmed by others, but in the early 1990s the family began producing their own wines.

🍇 100% Cabernet Franc, sourced from a single vineyard with clay and galestro soils in the hills of Carmignano.

♻️ The estate follows sustainable farming and largely organic practices.

🗜Fermentation in wooden vats using indigenous yeasts, with extended maceration and manual punch-downs.

⏳ Aged for 15 months in French oak barriques, followed by at least 6 months bottle ageing before release.

🔬 Alcohol: 14.5 % vol., Acid: 5.1 g/l og Suggar: < 3.0 g/l.

🎨 Deep, intense ruby red with dark purple reflections,

👃🏼 Complex and expressive aromas of black cherry, blackberries and blackcurrant, layered with notes of vanilla, leather, liquorice and hints of oak and light smoke in background.

👄 Full-bodied yet refined with silky tannins and lively acidity. The palate shows ripe red and dark berry fruit, subtle herbal tones and a touch of spice and to***co. Structured and elegant with a long, balanced finish.

💶 Bought in our Vinmonopol to a cost of NOK 559,90, but sold out.

📦 Importer: Viva Vino

🍷 Château Saint-Christophe Cru Bourgeois 2019

💰På ‘sparebluss’ i januar sa du? Ingen grunn til det, for her har du mulighet til å skaffe deg en meget rimelig rød Bordeaux, uten å sprenge budsjettet i en tøff måned.

🍷 Her fikk jeg endelig tak i denne rødvinen fra Bordeaux, som har stått på ønskelisten min siden den ble utsolgt etter gode omtaler fra vinpressen i fjor høst. En moderne Cru Bourgeois kjent for sitt rykte som en pålitelig Médoc-klassiker.

🏡 Château Saint-Christophe ligger i den nordlige delen av Médoc og har lenge vært et anerkjent Cru Bourgeois-slott. Eiendommen har gradvis modernisert både vinmarks- og kjellerarbeidet de siste tiårene, med fokus på renere fruktuttrykk og derved også mer tilgjengelige viner som allerede er drikkemodene som unge.

🍇 60 % Merlot, 30 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 5 % Cabernet Franc og 5 % Petit Verdot.

♻️ Praktiserer bærekraftig vindyrking, med redusert bruk av kjemiske innsatsmidler og miljøbevisst forvaltning av vinmarkene.

🗜 Tradisjonell Bordeaux-vinifikasjon. Gjæring i temperaturkontrollerte ståltanker.

⏳ Lagret i omtrent 12 måneder, delvis på franske eikefat.

🔬 Alkohol: 13,5 % vol., Syre: 3,4 g/l, Sukker: < 3,0 g/l

💨 Åpnet og dekantert i 2 timer, noe som åpnet opp vinen med tydeligere aroma.

🎨 Dyp rubinrød farge med en mørk kjerne og noen lilla reflekser.

👃🏼 Ungdommelig og fruktig nese av bjørnebær, blå plommer, solbær og svarte litt sursøte kirsebær. Finner også et lite hint av vanilje, sedertre og grafitt i bakgrunnen.

👄 Middels fyldig kropp med en lett frisk og god struktur. Saftig mørk frukt i inngangen, etterfulgt av godt integrerte og tanniner, balansert syre og en tørr, medium lang avslutning.

💶 Tilgjengelig på Vinmonopolet BU, varenr.: 13476001 og pris: NOK 223,00

📦 Importør: Vitis Moestue AS

⚖️ En god Médoc-vin som leverer utmerket balanse mellom frukt og struktur. Meget god QPR for prisen på tohundreogtyvetre spenn, spesielt for en Cru Bourgeois og som er lett å like.

🪟 Drikkevindu: Nå og til 2030, men vil holde seg fint i flere år til.

🍷 Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras 2014

🏡 Domaine Ghislaine Barthod is one of the most respected family estates in Chambolle-Musigny. Run by Ghislaine Barthod herself, the domaine is known for extremely low yields, meticulous vineyard work, and an uncompromising focus on terroir expression. Les Cras is among her most structured and characterful Premier Crus.

🍇 100% Pinot Noir from the Premier Cru vineyard Les Cras, located high on the slope north of the village, characterized by stony, limestone-rich soils.

♻️The domaine is not organically certified, but practices very limited chemical use, manual harvesting, and environmentally respectful vineyard management.

🗜 Hand-harvested with strict selection. Traditional vinification with partial destemming, spontaneous fermentation using indigenous yeasts, and gentle extraction.

⏳ Aged for approximately 18 months in French oak barrels, with around 30% new oak, typical for Premier Cru wines at the domaine.

🔬 Alcohol: 13.0% vol and Sugar: < 2 g/l

💨 Decanted for 1–2 hours prior to serving.

🎨 Clear ruby red with early brick nuances at the rim.

👃🏼 Elegant and complex aromas of red cherries, raspberries, dried roses, and violets, layered with limestone minerality, subtle spice, forest floor, and finely integrated oak.

👄 Silky and precise on the palate. Bright acidity balances ripe red fruit, while Les Cras’ signature structure provides tension and length. The finish is long, mineral-driven, and refined, with fine grained tannins.

💶 Bought at our VMP BU back in January 2019 at the price: NOK 890,00

👌🏼 A refined, terroir-driven Premier Cru from a top Chambolle-Musigny producer, combining finesse, structure, and aging potential. Well worth the price and with high QPR.

🪟 Drinking beautifully now, with further development expected through 2030–2034.
