Introduction
My first time at this great little restaurant that is as close to farm-to-table as possible. I guess this is more like farm-is-table. Multiple return visits will be required.
2013 Domaine Bernard Moreau et Fils Chassagne-Montrachet 90 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet
Apple, pear, subtle spice throughout. Very elegant, very well balanced. A great Villages wine.

2013 Domaine Bernard Moreau et Fils Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru La Maltroie 91 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru
Bigger and more lush vs Villages. Moderate length, moderate power, with the fruit being the highlight here.

2007 Domaine Dujac Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux Combottes 90 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
Spice driven start with black and red berries throughout. Forward and pleasurable right now, with nice textures nuances at the finish. 2014-2027.

2006 Domaine Dujac Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Still showing its youthful exuberance, here are lots of rich red cherry and berry flavors and aromas. Huge spice. Some liked this as much as I did, while others found it still too primary.

2006 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Echezeaux 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Spice driven start with lush and powerful red and black cherry coming across as very fresh on the nose, slight notes of maturity starting to emerge on the palate.

2002 Domaine de Montille Pommard 1er Cru Les Pèzerolles 89 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard 1er Cru
Earthy black fruit aromas and flavors with impressive minerality on the palate. Nicely textured. Mature for a 2002, but sturdy so I'd have no fear of it deteriorating.

2013 Jean-Marc Vincent Santenay 1er Cru Gravières 90 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Santenay 1er Cru
I am not really familiar with this producer, but it comes highly recommended by somebody I respect. Fresh black cherry with moderate spice and good energy. I feared rough, rugged edges, but this is an elegant, balanced wine that is fun to drink now, but with upside potential.

2013 Domaine Vincent and Sophie Morey Santenay 1er Cru Passetemps 88 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Santenay 1er Cru
While I didn't enjoy this quite as much as the Gravieres, it also showcases high quality black fruit and subtle spice. This is sturdier so might turn into a more interesting wine, but I found it showing some rough edges on the finish today.

2009 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Echezeaux 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Incredibly fresh red and black cherry aromas and flavors, barely evolved at all. Up early vibrant and energetic, while also a real powerhouse. Huge baking spice throughout, unmistakably Vosne.

2013 Domaine de l'Anglore Véjade
France, Vin de France
I was told this is a Mouvedre blend. Very unimpressed. Green, underripe? Bitter finish.
