Les Beugnons is one of the oldest "Climats" in Burgundy tracing back to 1572.  Dampt makes this wonderful value in a more "modern" way vinifying the wine in a concrete egg.  The result is a wine that is green/light gold in color.  The nose is clean with a bit of peach and slight citrus.  Medium bodied.  Excellent acidity.  On the palate, this is crisp with notes of white peach.  Long finish.  This is great on its own but better with food.  Of course, shell fish but don't discount pasta in a butter sauce.  Drink over the next seven to ten years.  

This bottle was decanted about six hours prior to drinking.  Deep ruby in color, mostly clear and bright.  The nose is deep with black cherries, chocolate, raisins and slight black licorice.  Full bodied.  Nice texture.  On the palate, this is complex and deep.  Flavors of black cherries, dark chocolate and raisins.  Long finish with slight alcohol.  This is delicious and contemplative on its own.  It will work well with chocolate.  Still plenty of life left, well stored bottles should have another ten to fifteen years.  

The Sauvignon Blancs from Pascal and Francois Cotat are some of the best in the world.  At age 10, this one is drinking beautifully.  Light golden in color with some green hues.  The nose is expressive with chalk, pears and hints of lemon.  Medium bodied.  Great balance.  On the palate, this seems dry (a prior bottle seemed to have a bit of residual sugar).  Plenty of pear and lemons with a slight herbal notes.  Deep and complex.  Long finish.  This should have another eight to twelve years of great drinking.  It went well with a Chopped Salad and Garlic Dressing.  

This is made from 58% Napa and 42% Lake County grapes.  It is a blend of 98% Sauvignon Blanc, 1% Semillon and 1% Muscat.  Light green/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose is nice with slight peach, some limes and a bit of grapefruit.  Light bodied.  Nice texture.  Good balance.  On the palate, this is easy drinking with no bitterness.  Flavors of peach and grapefruit.  Nice finish.  This drinks easy on its own but is food friend with lighter foods.  It went nicely with Spanakopita.  Drink over the next year or two.  

Golden in color with a nice mousse of smaller bubbles.  The nose is a bit nutty with apples and slight brioche.  Medium bodied.  Good acidity.  On the palate, some apples and slight ginger and toast.  Nice finish.  No idea on the disgorgement date but I suspect this has been sitting for a while.  Still, it was very nice and quite food friendly.  It went well with Guacamole and Chips.  Drink these as young as possible.  A nice value in sparkling wine.
