Laurent Gauthier Grand Cras Vieilles Vignes Morgon 2021, Ac
Beaujolais, France$20.00

July 2025….had with sockeye salmon. I enjoyed the wine ok but it had stronger flavours and was not as smooth as some French gamay I’ve had. Not the greatest match for salmon. Better with pork perhaps. A quality wine but not disappointed I only purchased one.

2022, 2023, 2024 + gift 1 or 2
gift to Smitty?
winter 2022....had one but don't recall much. My gut says I was expecting more, disappointed it wasn't better, was hoping to gift a few but maybe not if flavours are not everyone's cup of tea.
Sept 2023....absolutely delicious, drinking beautifully right now.
Nov 2025.....still very enjoyable, little loss of purity. would repurchase with pleasure. Had with pork loin roast, nice.
......don't think any left, possibly did gift one (Smitty most likely suspect).

Maison Roche De Bellene Cuvée Réserve Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2022, Ac
Burgundy, France$29.95
(8 or more)
2 per year 2025-2027 or gift
Dec/24 - had a couple and perhaps gifted one (so count 3 as gone). Liked rustic feel and flavour but thought it had a bitter edge to it. Maybe better in time.
Nov/25- having wth piri piri chicken. One year later and that bitter edge has softened but still evident. I think next year will be its best.

2022 + 2023/4 + gift (a good one for Smitty to try)
February 2022....birthday gift to George (memories of our trip to SA)
April 2022...loved this one! Was concerned I bought too many, in fact I may have bought too few. A wine I think anyone would enjoy. Flavourful, smooth, food friendly & delicious. Med-Full body. Has a Mediterranean feel. Look forward to next one.
