France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Tasting, brief note. Bright red berry and cherry on nose and palate with floral hints and subtle spice. Very long, textured. VG now, but texturally so nuanced that I'd hold it a decade to evolve and unfold, 92-94 point potential.
Tasting, brief note. Fresh and bright red fruit-driven aromas. Similar flavors with mineral and tannic textures give a slightly rustic feel, but in a very iron-esque Chambolle character.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny
Tasting, brief note. Similar to the Bourgogne, I like the nose > palate. Bright red fruit aromas, similar flavors with good mineral character but slightly short, drying finish. Good for its level. Cellar at least a few more years.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny
Tasting, brief note. A step up vs the previous Chambolle, this has a similar red fruit profile with slightly more spice and also more silky tannins so a more balanced finish.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Tasting, brief note. Black and red fruit with good concentration giving an old vine character. Meaty in a style I would more associate with Gevrey. Good for its level.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Tasting, brief note. Less bright aromatic start. Red berry and cherry flavors with better structural elegance and balance than the others in the lineup. Good for its level.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Tasting, brief note. Red fruit aromas with floral hints. Red cherry and berry flavors with lots of mineral textures, much like Lavrottes, but once again very firm tannins. Good concentration., good potential, but prob needs to 2024 forward.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Tasting, brief note. Best nose of the lineup with ripe fruit, floral and spice hints. Good fruit concentration but with a backward character that isn't helped by the firm structure. Again give this a decade+ in the cellar, but 90 point potential here.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru
Tasting, brief note. From 100% MSD fruit. Lots of black cherry, protruding new oak spice and a firm, almost bitter finish. Not a personal favorite today.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny

France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru

Tasting, brief note. Very pleasant and enjoyable Pinot Noir, I just oddly found this a little modern styled and non-descript with little sense of terroir.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru
Tasting, brief note. Black berries on nose with spring flowers, woodsy spice and some new oak that needs a little more time to integrate. Very good black and red berry flavors that is well balanced with good length. VG 92-93 point potential, probably nicely approachable in just 5 years.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny
Tasting, brief note. Good red berries on nose and palate balanced nicely through middle, then finishing slightly firm for now. Cellar for a few years, then good potential for its level.
Slightly, brief note. Both red and black fruit with rounder textures vs the Chambolle. Better overall with good length and a nicely persistent finish. Good+ for its level.

Tasting, brief note. All red fruit aromas and flavors with good concentration. Good length with a burst of energy on finish. Good+ for its level, 90-91 point potential.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey St. Denis 1er Cru
Tasting, brief note. Bright red fruit, floral notes and some roasted meat hints. Very well balanced already with a concentration I like a lot. Cellar for a few more years, then should drink very well from 2020 forward. 90-92 point potential. My favorite of the lineup.
