In 2017 there was a new wine line from Burgundy, the Jean-Pierre Marchand wines. With the loss of Domaine d'Ardhuy from the kosher ranks, following the 2015 vintage, the Taieb's went out and made the Jean-Philippe Marchand wines. The baseline Bourgogne is really solid for the price, while the upper line wines are nice as well, but as with all things Burgundy they come at a price. Truly Burgundy's Achilles heel, especially in kosher, is the price. Also, the upper-level wines from Volnay, Gevrey-Chambertin, and Nuits-Saint-Georges are not available here in the USA.
Again, the theme of Taieb wines being very solid but hard to find in the USA is a consistent one and a sad one. My many thanks to Georges and Yoni Taieb for taking the time to meet with me on short notice. I hope we will have the chance to taste their wines again later this year.
This is the second time I have tasted this wine, and my last bottle had issues, as it fell apart after a few hours.
Note Liquid Kosher brought in a 2014 Domaine D'Ardhuy, but that one which is called 2014 Domaine d'Ardhuy Ladoix, "Les Combottes", and it is sold out and it was a different vineyard.
I had this wine at home and it showed of H2S, as described above, and then I had a lovely bottle at the tasting in the winery. After that, people I know said that they had issues with their wines. I cannot understand what is going on with this wine, maybe it is a crazy bottle variation or bad luck, I am not sure. I cannot officially score this wine, but here are the notes for the good wine I tasted.
