NEW TASTING REPORT

First Visit to Pas

🚨NEW TASTING REPORT🚨

🍷First Visit to Pascal Roblet-Monnot🍷
@robletmonnot

Read the full tasting report via the link in my bio.

‘Pascal Roblet’s family tree includes the Delagrange family of Volnay and the Monnot and Duchemin families from the Maranges area. His father François Roblet, whose mother was a Monnot, married a Delagrange daughter.
Pascal’s first vinification was 1987, moving to his current location in Bligny-lès-Beaune ten years later. He began with 3ha of mostly generic vineyards rented from his family, taking on more vines when his father retired, and subsequently purchasing further plots in the Hautes Côtes and a miniature holding of Meursault Charmes. He opted to farm organically from 1993, with certification 10 years later. He prefers ‘tressing’ the vines rather than hedging them.

During the 2024 edition of the Grands Jours de Bourgogne I tasted some excellent reds made by Pascal Roblet from the very difficult vintage of 2021, which reminded me that I had never actually visited the domaine – an omission which I repaired later in the spring. We tasted the 2022 vintage, though none of the reds had yet been bottled. Pascal began trying out elevage across 24 months in 2006 and adopted it as a regular practice from 2010.’

We drank and ate exceptionally well at Schwarzer Adler @schwarzeradler_oberbergen in Vogtsburg im Kaiserstuhl, especially the Schweinfleisch (image 3). And not just french wines – I was very impressed with their own Spatburgunder from the Schlossberg vineyard (image 5). I can thoroughly recommend!

To finish a great day, a visit to La Rochepot, up the road from St Aubin, to meet Emmanuel Sainson @domaine_emmanuel_sainson. You might expect a range of Côte De Beaune, wines but Emmanuel has taken over the Julienas vineyards from charismatic philosopher: vigneron Vincent Audras. All made in amphora!

Thanks to a helpful hint I got to visit that rarest of Burgundian items, a new domaine in Puligny-Montrachet. Not really new, but François Caire has only just started bottling his own wines. A first look at the new labels in slide 2!

I did not take a very good picture of Bertrand Bac

I did not take a very good picture of Bertrand Bachelet! He doesn’t look thrilled behind his wines – but I was thrilled by them. Tasting notes to come in due course. @domainebertrandbachelet

My day yesterday was mostly devoted to visiting new producers, including my first visit to @vignobles_ludovicpierrot in Corpeau, near Puligny. Second slide: Ludovic Pierrot enjoying one of his many cuvées of Santenay.
