NV Krug Champagne Brut Grande Cuvée 91 Points
France, Champagne
Nice and toasty. Despite the toast, this has really nice minerality and acidity. I do enjoy the house style of Krug, so this is a no brainer for me.

2001 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault 1er Cru Charmes 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru
Nose of flint, lemon oil and something resembling fresh sea water. One of those classic white burgundy noses that you can just keep nosing for a while. Its palate was incredibly lithe and flavorful. Some tropical fruits, but also a good deal of fresh lemon, wax, and sweet oak. Lovely balance. Showing very well.

1993 Domaine Denis Bachelet Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 85 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin
Beautiful nose of sous bois, pure red cherry, and some warm spices. The palate seemed a bit acidic, lots of sour cherry. Came across a bit harsh to me.

2005 Marquis de Laguiche (Joseph Drouhin) Montrachet 95 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru
Perfumed nose of heather, lemon oil, and sea water. The palate was really interesting. Flavors were rich, almost sappy, but it was lithe and precise. Still seemed very wound up and unforgiving, the fruit was there but seemed tight. Will be interesting to see how these mature.

Really bright pear and apple fruits, an intense minerals. The palate was like a river stream, cool, elegant and refreshing. The acidity was beautiful. A great chardonnay.

1992 Domaine Ramonet Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chaumées 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru
Amazing nose. Salty lemons, tidal pool aromas, and vivid lemons. The palate seemed to be in a great place. Lemons were pure, layered and complex. Acidity is still kicking and there was really nice floral aromas to boot.

Musty and dusty. Palate has nice red fruits, with a bit of rubber and tar. Borderline for me...but this was hanging on to some balance.

2009 Benjamin Leroux Bâtard-Montrachet 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
Beautiful nose of flint, seashells, tropical fruits and lemons. Love the palate. Dense fruit (typical of the vintage), but the searing acidity of a vintage like 2007. Love the balance, and the depth here. Showed so, so well.
