Tasted Monday, April 30, 2012 by Burgundy Al with 760 views

Flight 1 - Matrot (2 Notes)

Flight 2 - Pavelot (2 Notes)

Flight 3 - Nicolas Rossignol (3 Notes)

  • 2009 Nicolas Rossignol Volnay 1er Cru Caillerets 90 Points

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

    Open almost 4 hours before serving. Slightly floral start with lots of red fruit and some nutmeg and cinnamon. More lean on palate, with lots of acidity and minerality. Not as accessible as the Tallepieds or Ronceret in the same flight, this wine will take the most time to show its full potential.

  • 2009 Nicolas Rossignol Volnay 1er Cru Taillepieds 93 Points

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

    Open almost 4 hours before serving. Ripe black cherry aromas with lots of fresh herbs and spice. Black cherry and blackberry flavors with great intensity and density but with the structure to keep this in balance.

  • 2009 Nicolas Rossignol Volnay 1er Cru Ronceret 92 Points

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

    Open almost 4 hours before serving. Lush and perfumed start really shows the wine's whole cluster fermentation. Great ripe fruit with moderate length. Most accessible and alluring in the flight, alongside the Caillerets and Tallepieds.

Flight 4 - Le Moine Chambolle-Musingy Amoureuses on its own (1 Note)

  • 2009 Lucien Le Moine Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses 94 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru

    Open 4 hours before serving, decanted 2 hours. Great spice on nose with lots of red cherry and strawberry. Ripe red and black cherry comes through on palate with great sweet brown spice. Absolutely beautiful already, with great power and length, even if not showing classic Chambolle character to me tonight. But that's the nature of the vintage and I'm optimistic it will emerge over time. If that elegance and lacy texture emerges, this will be a 95+ point wine.

Flight 5 - Gevrey-Chambertin Cazetiers (3 Notes)

  • 2009 Lucien Le Moine Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers 93 Points

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

    Open 5 hours, decanted at least 2 hours before serving. Dark black fruit aromas with meaty spice, classically Gevrey. Sturdy and dense ripe black cherry and blackberry. Everything is large in this wine - structure, fruit, spice, density. if served blind, I probably would have thought this Grand Cru based on its density. This will take at least a decade to soften, but is a very impressive 1er.

  • 2009 Olivier Bernstein Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers 89 Points

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

    Open 5 hours before serving. Big, burly and very modern styled wine. All black fruit, big and fat without lots of nuance tonight, but this needs lots of time to soften. Not as exciting as I recall from barrel tasting at Bernstein in the fall of 2010.

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

    Open 5 hours before serving. Very similar to several tastings earlier this year. Impressive black fruit on palate and nose with great precision, finesse and length. Expanding on finish.

Flight 6 - Clos de la Roche (3 Notes)

  • 2009 Lucien Le Moine Clos de la Roche 94 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru

    Open 5+ hours before serving. decanted 3 hours. Intense cherry aromas, very exciting and floral. Lush, powerful and very exciting. Long and textured finish. Give this a decade and it will keep getting better.

  • 2009 Domaine Lignier-Michelot Clos de la Roche

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru

    Open 5 hours before served. Floral with red cherry aromas. Modest fruit on palate, just didn't come across as completely pristine. Perhaps an off bottle? Not even close to how well it showed when tasted with Virgile in Burgundy September 2010. Otherwise probably an 89 point wine tonight.
