2011 Domaine Ramonet Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
Great wine already drinking very well young. Nose with mint and citrus, also some resinous tones. Taste lots of extract, a bit understated but with great tension, fine acids, very balanced. Long finish, just lingers on.

2005 Etienne Sauzet Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru
Lovely nose, fruit, almonds, candied sweets. Taste very rich, complex, sweet fruit, dense, lovely acidity in background. Think this is still a bit primary, the multiple layers of flavours changing in time in the mouth, that I observed in some elderly Montrachet's are present only limited here. Typical Montrachet, great experience.

2008 Domaine Roulot Meursault 1er Cru Charmes
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru
Nose at first tight, takes some time to open. Palate full-bodied and rich, beautifully balanced with acidity. What is exceptional about this wine is not only balance and finesse, but also the extremely long finish that lingers on for minutes with lovely flavours in the mouth.

2008 Sylvain Cathiard Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts

Wonderful wine. Nose Vosne spice, lots of red and black fruit. Concentrated taste. Although this is young, it is very pleasant to drink now due to its impeccable balance.

2008 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques Vieille Vigne
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
Wine with lots of material is developing. What is a bit troubling is the rather harsh acidity that is present. Hopefully it softens out, otherwise it will become a problem when this wine matures further.

2006 Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Bonnes Mares
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru
Muscular, big wine. Had thought this would be tight and closed, but it was surprisingly open. Lots of material, lots of tannins but buffered by the lovely fruit. Became even better in time in the glass. Very good to drink now, but I think this will develop into absolute greatness in future.
