France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
I thought there was a slight hint of TCA on the nose here but I seemed to be in the minority. However, it was very subtle and behind it was still an excellent wine. Mint, citrus and youthful freshness and acidity.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
This was quite rich and tropical in profile but has the energy and acidity to keep everything in balance. Round and rich on the entry but then there's plenty of cut and acidity on the finish. Excellent.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru
Easily the best red of the lunch. Young but very approachable and drinking well as you might expect given the vintage. Darker pinot fruits with nice acidity. Excellent.

2010 Domaine Leflaive Bâtard-Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
Extremely youthful but so good. Loads of lemon, acid and tension. A ton of potential here. This was easily the best young wine of the day.

This bottle was much fresher than mine (same source though). There was some stony minerality with nice lemon and orchard fruit flavours. Quite good.

2006 Domaine / Maison Vincent Girardin Chevalier-Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru
This is was very nice for an 06. Quite precise and energetic with solid acidity. Would never have guessed 06 if this was served blind. Excellent.

2008 Bouchard Père et Fils Chevalier-Montrachet Domaine

Very young but outstanding. Lots of potential. Just needs a decade. Bouchard killed it in 08 for their whites.
