2021 Nicolas Faure Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Herbues One of my last Faure bottles: so good & perfectly representing the cool vintage! #nuitssaintgeorges #pinotnoir #bourgogne

2020 Fixin by Dom. Berthaut-Gerbet For fans of Pinot from the Côte de Nuits, here’s a tip: look up this village and this winemaker, and especially if you like wines from Gevrey-Chambertin 😁 #fixin #berthautgerbet #pinot #bourgogne #cotedenuits

Mid-week indulgence: 2021 Bernhard Huber Malterdinger Spätburgunder For fans of Pinot, check this out: a wine that can stand up to many Village wines from the Côte de Nuits. This is seriously good, and a pleasure with food. Check out their higher wines too 😋 #spätburgunder #baden

This 2023 Godello from Bierzo was delicious with tapas at Casa e Pepe here in #eindhoven. One more example of how good Spanish white wine can be! #godello #bierzo #spain

Actually, more stuff arrived today from #vinoblesse Here’s a picture of the arrivals for my brother-in-law and me 😁

New arrivals day! We opened this 2022 Sancerre Côte de Marloup immediately, as I was very curious. This is seriously good wine! Last year I ordered their Menetou-Salon, but this is a step up, and more profound. #bernardfleuriet #sancerre #sauvignonblanc

Good idea to start drinking reds at low temperatures. Many reds are lovely when tasted cool, In my experience. 😁

From one of my favorite wine makers, now above my pay grade: Domaine Duroché. This 2018 Village-level is from a single vineyard and it is singing: what a stunning Bourgogne. It is so complex, with red fruit, spice and tertiary notes of tobacco. #gevreychambertin #bourgogne #pinotnoir

Bernhard Slaap @beaunebeaune.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

Thanks, indeed these wines need time. With some 5 years under the belt they become more interesting and layered. I prefer to drink these cool, say at 15C. Cool red 😋

Wat leuk! Ben heel benieuwd naar je indrukken! Fijne vakantie 😎

Sorry, ik je postjes heb gemist! Ondanks dat ik je volg, verschenen deze niet in mijn feed? 😬

Grappig! Wij waren er 2 jaar geleden voor het eerst. Erg knus. Fijne mix Frans en Duits. Aardige mensen 😁

Jaa, vorige keer gedaan. Nu gaan we deze doen met de kinderen 😁

Dat lijkt me ook prachtig. Wij zijn er nog nooit geweest. Julie wel? Had je daar geen foto’s van gepost?

Bernhard Slaap @beaunebeaune.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

Heb je de eenvoudigere wijnen van Ganevat al eens geprobeerd? Die kan je meestal gewoon kopen. En er was een proefdoos? Dauvissat is het wachten waard…

Dit keer hebben we een huis gehuurd in Ribeauvillé, niet ver van Colmar en goede wijnmakers 😁

Bernhard Slaap @beaunebeaune.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

Oeh, dat klinkt erg goed! Wij gaan in juli een weekje naar de Elzas met de kinderen en hun vrienden, en daarna een weekje naar Givry met onze dochter. Misschien in oktober nog een weekje Vaucluse?

Bernhard Slaap @beaunebeaune.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

Tja, vond ik ook bijzonder, maar ze hebben zoveel mooie wijnen die je gewoon kan bestellen dat ik dit geen probleem vond. Toen ik 5 jaar geleden vroeg om 2 dozen Dauvissat 2018 zeiden ze ja, tot mijn verbazing. Was ook een record oogst. Nu bestel ik ieder jaar doosje la Forest 😋

Nice summary of the wine, pulling together information from a lot of sources!

Attention wine lovers: at least once you want to drink this special #beaujolais Forget what you know about Beaujo: this is very different. A wine from a granite field in Morgon by this winemaker is not for immediate consumption and will surprise you, if you give it some years. #gamay #2020

Last vacation bottle: 2021 Comando G 1er Rozas: high-altitude single-vineyard Garnacha/Grenache. With some air, to get rid of reduction, this is a top food-friendly wine, with tannins, acidity and lovely red fruit. It keeps evolving in the glass, so I will keep my other bottles for a while.

Bernhard Slaap @beaunebeaune.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

Pernand-Vergelesses, at the foot of the Corton hill near Beaune: great place for sturdy reds and great whites. This is from one of the best vineyards for white, by one of the best local winemakers. Lovely wine, quite perfumed and bold. Is clearly from a warm vintage. #chardonnay #bourgogne

Heb jij nog iets besteld bij Vinoblesse?

100

Bernhard Slaap @beaunebeaune.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

Helaas niet: volgens mij viel dit samen met onze vakantie. Ik hoop in de herfst naar de Vaucluse te kunnen gaan. Dan ga ik zeker langs bij de Ferme! De bestelling van Vinoblesse komt deze maand binnen. Hierbij zit altijd een doos CdR, als standaard rood. Verder wat witte Bourg, Sancerre, en rosé 😎

Bernhard Slaap @beaunebeaune.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

Ow, dat is goed om te weten, dank! De kelder hier ligt nu wel vol, zeker met de bestelde 2023’s nog op komst. In de toekomst ga ik er ook eens grasduinen 😁

Bernhard Slaap @beaunebeaune.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

Rosé time! From the makers of MiP a more luxury cuvée, made from Syrah and Grenache, with only minimal skin contact. This is a fruity rosé, with sufficient backbone to make you want to taste more than a sip. Maybe the cooler 2024 vintage helped here? Still prefer Bandol rosé though…

Bernhard Slaap @beaunebeaune.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

Aha, nog nooit iets gekocht daar. Mij iets te spannend 😁. Jij hebt er goede ervaringen mee?

Salade Niçoise, with home-grown lettuce, radish and watercress. First dinner outside in 2025. Crazy for NL to be able to dine outside end April, in t-shirt and shorts… And yes, the 2023 Laisse Tomber Gamay was lovely with the salad. 😁

Last of the winter leek. With potatoes this will become a lovely soup 😋

So, the entry-level Comando-G (2023 la Bruja) is really interesting, especially for a wine nerd. This wine is light in color, quite reductive initially, needing a carafe. Then the red fruit comes through, and the well-behaved tannins. It goes lovely with food, even this young. #garnacha #comandog

020

Bernhard Slaap @beaunebeaune.bsky.social · 17/04/2025

New arrivals: wines from Comando G. These are hard to find in NL, but Lobenberg from Germany delivered. The ‘G’ is the grape Garnacha, or Grenache in French, from old vines at altitude, grown not far from Madrid. I am really curious about these wines! #noblerot #sierradegredos

For a Burgundy fan it is fine to have leftovers, as these are generally fine one or two days later, if stored properly. Both the 2021 Savigny-les-Beaune by Marthe Henry, open two days, and the 2022 Mâcon-Vergisson by Jaques Saumaize, opened yesterday, showing very well this evening. #bourgogne

Certainly worth a trip to Gent, Belgium, this altarpiece from 1432 by the van Eyk brothers in the St. Bavo Cathedral: absolutely magnificent! #gent #middleages #vaneyk

Bernhard Slaap @beaunebeaune.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

This should been 6 bottles, but the UPS driver dropped the box… This 2022 Foillard Morgon Côte de Py is worth seeking out. I think it needs more time to show its full potential, but it already is a lovely food-friendly glass. #beaujolais #morgon #gamay #naturalwine

Bernhard Slaap @beaunebeaune.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

Since early Jan 2025 I am no longer using Insta, so I am looking for fellow wine lovers here. This 2020 Dauvissat Chablis La Forest was absolutely lovely. The warm vintage makes this wine resemble a top Côte de Beaune white, but no complaints from me 😁
