Almost twenty years ago this Montreal based consignor accidently fell into the world of wine. He worked at the SAQ while in university and began to study wine on the side to be able to answer customers’ questions. Upon graduating he decided to work at a winery and spent a year at Domaine de la Rectorie, and when he returned home, he became a sommelier. His passion for wine is rooted in a love for discovering new wines, exploring the rich history of winemaking, connecting with people, and a deep-seated passion for travel. He began collecting in 2009, and over time, it has evolved into a full-fledged passion for curating a diverse collection, with a particular focus on Burgundy, my favorite wine-growing region. He sourced bottles via the SAQ and while travelling to vineyards. His collection has been meticulously stored in a temperature-controlled wine cellar, ensuring optimal conditions for preservation and aging.
The score for 2016 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue Bonnes Mares Grand Cru is 96 points from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2016 Bonnes Mares Grand Cru was 70% affected by the frost, though François explained that the north side was spared the damage. It offers slightly darker fruit on the nose compared to the Les Amoureuses - blackcurrant, tobacco, sage and in the background a touch of flint and violet petal. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin, though not quite as supple as the Les Amoureuses. I admire the symmetry here - a detailed and linear Bonnes Mares with impressive mineralité on the finish that lingers 45 to 60 seconds after the wine has departed.
