We did a tasting last weekend and opened a
"2004 Louis Jadot Clos Vougeot " -
guys this burgundy is so elegant so well balanced - its like a velvetty caress of the most passionate lips ... you can taste the supple nuances of the grape and terroir as your tounge swirls around in her innate beauty ... you feel her warmth drip down your molars as your tounge explores the tannins ... as your lips gently suck down and you close your eyes to truly enjoy the passion you lose yourself to sheer extacy and joy .... she is so seductive - she will keep wanting you for more

I absolutely loved this wine. I was in the mood for a french wine and we got a bottle of this one from 2004. Absolutely perfect. I am going to try some of the other products from this winery. Its a very comforting wine...

LOADS of apricot up front to mid-p. Gentle, fading finish. Class act.
Domaine de la Pepiere Marc Ollivier Muscadet de Sevre-et-Maine Sur Lie 2008
Starting at $13.99 Snoothrank: 3/5Loads of apricot up front to mid. Gentle, fading finish.
Wonderfully balanced pinot noir with enough structure to sustain some bottle aging to 2013. A fine effort that reflects the violet flower scent and strawberry nose one expects from a fine Burgundy. Bravo!
Morey-Saint-Denis Premiere Cru Chenevery-Domaine Alain Jeanniard Burgundy Red 2006
Starting at $52.55 Snoothrank: 3.5/5Totally absurd - ratings that i have seen. This wine - a very fine 4th -3rd growth quality property - is worthy of some considerable praise. The tannins are approachable even today and the notes are the usual coffee,...

Decanted about 24 hours and it greatly improved and opened up. Blackberries and sweet cherries on the nose, licorice, raspberries and stone fruit on the palette Nice finish.

Nice earthy smell along with blackberrys. Very good balance, fine spicy aftertaste. Mediumbodied.

Hi~i'm the new member..can anyone willing to tell me what type of wine can pair with this food: oysters served with fresh horseradish creme and lemon wedges...thank you
I agree with schellbe concerning Beaujolais, and you should try the AOC Chénas wines from Château des Jean-Loron. Here is the website : http://www.vins-de-bourgogne-sud.com You will find very original, typical and greedy wines.
