• 2000 Gaston Chiquet Champagne Special Club Brut 92 Points

  France, Champagne

  Lots of minerals driving this, with lemon/lime, nuttiness. Very spherical in the mouth. The acids are very soft, the lemon/lime more creamy than tart. Also ripe apple peal, more nuttiness. I enjoyed this quite a lot. 91-92

• 2009 Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 88 Points

  France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru

  Oyster shells, saltwater, lemon. Palate adds some lemon zest. A bit edgy on the palate - has lots of acidity, but needs some time for it to integrate a bit, which I think it will. 88+

• 2008 Remi Jobard-Chabloz Auxey-Duresses Blanc 89 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Auxey-Duresses

  Lots of floral elements on the nose, cold cream. Medium full bodied. Creamy with a grippy acidity right on the finish. I'd give this a couple of years to integrate, but it is very nice. Peter Weygandt import.

• 2005 Hubert Lamy Puligny-Montrachet Les Tremblots 90 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet

  Yellow flowers, cream, light oak on the nose. Medium body. Mineralls, butter cookie, lemon oil, and a nice nutty finish. Nice texture. This is drinking well but should hold on a while too if you like more age. 89-90

• 2006 Louis Latour Santenay

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Santenay

  White pepper, dirt, cherry and cranberry on the nose. This is packing a lot of fruit on the palate with a tart cherry, dried cranberry, clove spices. I thought this showed much better out of a large flared rim pinot glass than in traditional balloon.

• 2002 Louis Jadot Gevrey-Chambertin 90 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin

  Nose of dirty cherry, fennel/anise. Cherry coated leather on the palate, coffee grounds finish which I enjoyed. Still has some sinewy muscularity to it - not assertive but definitely a lot of structure. This could actually improve a bit more for a couple of years; it certainly has improved over tasting a couple of years ago. Good in the Riedel Vinum Burg glass.

• 2008 Maison Champy Beaune 1er Cru Les Tuvilains

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru

  Lots of herbs and cherry on the nose and initial palate, but just a very abrupt ending, no real finish at all. Let this one loosen up a few years. Maybe we should have tried the Vinturi on it, but considerable time in glass didn't wake it up right now.
