  • 2014 Domaine Michel Gros Chambolle-Musigny

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny

    Medium saturation. Dark cherry and soil. Medium weight with a bit of wood. Good tart cranberry fruit, crisp acidity. A very good Chambolle village in a slightly bulkier style.

  • 2014 Domaine Duroché Gevrey-Chambertin Champ

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin

    Light color. Earth and green tones. Light, subtle strawberry fruit and lots of soil. Moderate acidity and tartness, light tannins. Lacks some oomph on the mid-palate but good finish.

  • 2014 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin Vieille Vigne

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin

    Light ruby core. Cherry and smoke aromas. Lovely dark red fruit and char, medium weight with real cling and sappy richness, round soil that suggests the influence of clay rather than limestone. Already delicious. Bright and so Burgundian. Hard to complain about paying Premier Cru prices for something of this quality.

  • 2013 J. Confuron-Cotetidot Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru

    Dull ruby. Menthol and char on the nose. Medium body with some sap giving a nice feel that is lightly woody. Soil, subdued red fruit, overall somewhat green impression, quite tannic. Middling quality for Suchots.

  • 2014 Alain Hudelot-Noëllat Vougeot 1er Cru Les Petits Vougeots

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vougeot 1er Cru

    Deep ruby center. Fragrant blackberry jam and a little funk as well. Biggest wine so far-round, oaky base, lush but reasonably restrained. Chewy and tannic, average acidity. Blockish and simple now but good potential. Nothing "Petit" about it, in fact one of the weightiest '14s I've tried, and it is like a scaled down Clos Vougeot.

  • 2014 Domaine de L'Arlot Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Clos des Forêts St. Georges

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru

    Even, clear ruby. Pine scents. Medium feel and weight. Modern, fruity, sweet entry, green finish. Both high acidity and wood tannins make it pretty astringent at the end. I really did not care for this.

  • 2014 Domaine des Chezeaux Griotte-Chambertin

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru

    Medium ruby. Very perfumed at this early stage. Light to middle weight. Naturally sweet, pure red fruit with perfect cranberry acidity, gentle soil throughout, and outstanding length. I loved the balance and elegance of this wine-outstanding Gevrey Grand Cru! It seems to have gathered itself and filled in since I last tasted it in the fall.
