Flight 1 - Burgundies (4 Notes)

  • 2007 Lucien Le Moine Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers 87 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru

    Very lovely and alluring nose. Sweet, slightly meaty. Not the most structured Burg and does feel like its made for early drinking. That's not a bad thing as this was really packing good substance in a lightweight package. Excellent persistence with good pinot character. This is really what Burgundy is all about.

  • 1996 Sylvain Cathiard Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Aux Murgers 87 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru

    Quite meaty and sauvage. Stil tannic. I get a lot of soil on the nose. Good extract but felt that the fruit might be fading somewhat as it was rather lean. Balance still there but perhaps lacks a little class to be truly excellent.

  • 1999 Domaine de L'Arlot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots 88 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru

    Candied cherries, citrus. I tasted a bit of stems aka greenness. I guess I shouldn't be surprised as they tend not to destem. Still rather tannic with the structure holding up well. Light-bodied but perhaps lacks a tad of complexity. Delicious now but would benefit with more age.

  • 2007 Michel Colin-Deléger et Fils Chevalier-Montrachet 91 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru

    Oaky and restrained in the beginning but really showed its stuff with some time in the glass. Lemons and resin on the palate and the nose got so much better. Not a bruiser ala Batard. Great persistence but perhaps a little drying at the back-end. Many years ahead of it.
