  • 2015 Gros Frère et Sœur Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits

    France, Burgundy, Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits

    Pale color. Sweet ripe berry and char. Light with a touch of sap. Smoky, ripe cherry fruit, some tannin. Good. Give it a couple of years.

  • 2015 Domaine Perrot-Minot Bourgogne

    France, Burgundy, Bourgogne

    Ruby, looks glycerine. Spicy. Medium weight, glossy feel. Dark cherry that is ripe but not overly sweet. Little soil. Polished and modern. Wood tannins arrive late and dominate the finish. Not for me.

  • 2015 Serafin Père et Fils Bourgogne

    France, Burgundy, Bourgogne

    Crystal clear light ruby. Attractive blend of red fruit and soil on the nose. Medium weight with good feel that seems infused with clay. Dark red fruit, nice acidity, lots of soil, very good length. So much more traditional than either the Gros Frère or the Perrot Minot. Excellent quality at this level and a great cuvée to exploit the charms of this vintage at a reasonable price by having it on hand as a "house Burgundy" over the next few years.

  • 2015 Domaine Perrot-Minot Gevrey-Chambertin

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin

    Light ruby. Obvious brett present. Ripe light cherry fruit, a small amount of soil. You feel the wood later, and that plus the funk make for an astringent finish. I have not had very good experience over the years with this producer.

  • 2015 Serafin Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Corbeaux

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru

    Light ruby core. Lovely, complex aromas of herbs and fresh fruit. Light to medium weight, strong vein of soil, blue fruit that you almost feel more than taste, and somewhat grippy tannins. I liked this a lot, but it needs at least 5 years to round into form, and it could well shut down for much longer than that.

  • 2015 Faiveley Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru

    Ruby center. Deep core of smoky red fruit with a citric lift. Penetrating with substantial backward tannins and a rising soil finish. For all the talk of the "new" Faiveley, this is pretty traditional. Serious wine that requires a full 10 years of aging to start to peel back the structure. At my age, one would have to be a cockeyed optimist to even contemplate buying it.
