2005 Camille Giroud Corton-Charlemagne 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
(4/2/2016)
From magnum. Ripe stone fruit on nose and palate that starts as forward with unctuous textures, then finishes with minerality and acidity that almost come by surprise. Very good overall.

2007 Henri Boillot Corton-Charlemagne 86 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
(4/2/2016)
Small glass, brief note. Nice enough apple flavors and aromas, but simple and getting tired.

2002 Paul Bara Champagne Grand Cru Comtesse Marie de France 87 Points
France, Champagne, Champagne Grand Cru
(4/2/2016)
Small glass, brief note. Apple, toasted almond, some sweet berry hints. Seemed a little fat to start, better energy and overall texture on finish.

2011 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Goulots Vieille Vigne 87 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
(4/2/2016)
Bright red fruit aromas, slightly less robust on palate. Faint green notes on finish. Not as exciting as when tasted from barrel in 2014.

1988 Domaine Michel Lafarge Volnay 1er Cru 89 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru
(4/2/2016)
Mature red cherry with plenty of earth and a lean finish. Interesting, this was served to me in small wine glass. Those served in large Burg stems/bowls didn't enjoy the wine as much. And I didn't enjoy it as much when smelled from a Burg stem either, finding all the remaining fruit was lost.

2009 Domaine Fourrier Chambolle-Musigny Vieille Vigne 90 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny
(4/2/2016)
Sweet red fruit, ripe and lush with very good density for its level. Finishes with Chambolle textures and minerality I really enjoyed.

2009 Dönnhoff Dellchen Riesling Großes Gewächs 90 Points
Germany, Nahe
(4/2/2016)
Small glass, brief note. Starts with ripe apple, floral notes and lemon peel, with an aromatic profile that implies more sweetness than what shows up on the palate. Very good+ balance and moderate length. Very pleasurable and bright, an interesting "palate cleanser" in a day full of Burgundy.

1985 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage 90 Points
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage
(4/2/2016)
Small glass, brief note. Lots of earth and reduced mushroom with fully mature red fruit. Not the most nuanced Chave vintage of that decade, but elegant with good length.

2009 Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Maréchale 89 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru
(4/2/2016)
Small glass, brief note. Ripe black fruit with leather and roast meat hints. Fun now, but it's still all youthful exuberance. Upside from here as it evolves.

2002 Monthélie-Douhairet-Porcheret Volnay 1er Cru Champans 87 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru
(4/2/2016)
Small glass, brief note. Mature red fruit aromas with lots of barnyard. Much more appealing flavors, showing red cherry and spice hints, that are indeed tasty but slightly simple for its level.

2002 Domaine Bruno Clair Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques 91 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
(4/2/2016)
Very similar to the Jadot 2002 CSJ we opened late yesterday. Ripe black fruit with meaty notes and Boeuf Bourgignon spice throughout. A little more spice vs the Jadot, while slightly less concentration and animale.

1996 André Ziltener Chambertin-Clos de Bèze
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru
(4/2/2016)
Small glass, brief note. Black and red berries, just a little bretty and not to my liking for something at this age.

NV The Eyrie Vineyards Pinot Meunier Brut Nature 50th Anniversary 88 Points
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Dundee Hills
(4/2/2016)
Small glass, brief note. Disgorged January 2015. Strawberry with some orange peel on the finish, where there is a nice burst of energy. Exceeded my expectations.

1996 Alain Hudelot-Noëllat Clos Vougeot 88 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
(4/2/2016)
Small glass, brief note. Fully mature red fruit with good background spice. Moderate weight, but still some unresolved tannins and acid, so imperfect balance for right now.

2013 François Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre 91 Points
France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru
(4/2/2016)
Small glass, brief note. Similar to when tasted at the domaine a few weeks ago. Ripe fruit throughout with faint botrytis hints that give a very non-classic character, but this finishes with polish and energy that brings us back to Chablis.

2013 François Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru
(4/2/2016)
Small glass, brief note. Green apple and orange peel show moderate ripeness, but far more classic precision and concentration. Very good textures and length. A rare vintage where I prefer this Butteaux over the MdT tasted alongside.

2002 Domaine Méo-Camuzet Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Chaumes 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
(4/2/2016)
Unmistakably Vosne in a great way, and even very typically Meo. Sweet black and red furtive with great baking spice. Everything is in harmony. Rockstar nose, very good+ palate that is very polished but slightly less nuanced.

1996 Domaine Robert Jayer-Gilles Echezeaux du Dessus 83 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
(4/2/2016)
Small glass, brief note. Lots of earth and fully mature fruit, but lots more unresolved structure. Plus a slightly hollow middle.

1976 Domaine Clair-Daü Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques 87 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
(4/2/2016)
Cork showed some signs of leakage, which I think adversely affected what has previously been a simply great wine. Today there was just almost no remaining fruit to complement the earth and mushroom notes. Interesting and enjoyable, but frankly just hints of enjoyment.

1997 Alain Hudelot-Noëllat Clos Vougeot 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
(4/2/2016)
Small glass, brief note. Very ripe and very mature, but it clearly stays on the right side of avoiding being overripe or too tired. Engaging Vosne spice with excellent concentration. One of today's most positive surprises for the better. Probably near the tail-end of its peak drinking window.

1982 Mongeard-Mugneret Clos Vougeot 87 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
(4/2/2016)
Small glass, brief note. Shockingly fresh for its age from a problematic vintage. Good balance of mature black and red fruit, earth, leather. Good density, which I'd consider great in context of age and vintage. Some awkward angles on finish, but a very leasing surprise overall.

2002 Joseph Drouhin Chambertin Flawed
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin Grand Cru
(4/2/2016)
I don't know if there was a problem with the bottle or the wine itself, but this was dirty and unpleasant.

1996 Domaine Rémi Jobard Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru
(4/2/2016)
Small glass, brief note. Glad to see it still fresh enough to drink. Lots of apple with good spice and very good concentration. There was a bitter edge, however, on the finish I just couldn't get past. Others enjoyed this more.

1978 Prince Florent de Merode Corton-Bressandes 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru
(4/2/2016)
Small glass, brief note. Served to me blind, I thought it 1969 Grand Cru in great condition. Lots of red and black cherry with spice and forget floor, all impeccably clean. Wonderful concentration and balance. Thanks, Joel, for bringing and sharing.

2006 Bonneau du Martray Corton-Charlemagne 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
(4/2/2016)
Ripe, dense and concentrated, exactly like when tasted last week in Burgundy. Here is the rare 2006 white Burg that has improved over the past few years, retaining its freshness and picking up nuance.

1996 Emmanuel Rouget Echezeaux
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
(4/2/2016)
Massively reduced and completely unapproachable for now. Cellar for another decade+? Decant for several hours?

2007 Domaine Dujac Charmes-Chambertin 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru
(4/2/2016)
Such a pretty wine so easy to enjoy right now. Spice and floral charm with bright red fruit. Ok not particularly "Gevrey," but very charming with an elegant weightlessness and balance.

2002 François Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru
(4/1/2016)
Still slightly reductive. Green apple with lots of power and concentration, but still backward. Mineral textures dominate the finish in a classi, elegant way I really enjoy. More floral notes emerged when open 2+ hours, making this even better.

2010 Domaine Ponsot Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Cuvée des Alouettes 88 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey St. Denis 1er Cru
(4/1/2016)
Red fruit, spice and earth aromas that I like, followed by the same flavors but less appealing with firm tannins that will need a few more years to move past its drying finish.

1996 Philipponnat Champagne Brut Clos des Goisses 93 Points
France, Champagne
(4/1/2016)
Maturing Apple with nutty overtones. Somewhat powerful start, elegantly finessed finish. I liked this more when younger, but still drinking beautifully.

Black fruit with good concentration and early signs of maturing. Great spice on both nose and palate, with good power and intensity. Long and very well textured. Still has upside from here.
