France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges
Tasting at the domaine. Black and red cherry with super concentration and excellent brightness, acidity and minerality. Not yet perfectly balanced, but there is so much good stuff here. Low yields led to even more than usual good juice going into this blend. 90-91 points.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Tasting at the domaine. Big, dense red fruit with more tannins than I might expect for Chambolle. Very big nd chewy today, not even close to accessible, but also clearly so much potential. Blend of Cras and Fuees, so the pedigree is here, perhaps it just needs lots of cellar time? 90-91 point potential.
tasting at the domaine. Big and dense for its level, but that seems to be a theme at Méo-Camuzet for 2016. Layers of flavor are already starting to emerge, so I am confident of very good (90-91 point) potential, but this will probably require more patience vs normal vintages for this cuvee.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru
Tasting at the domaine. More black vs red fruit, with the wine's NSG side more dominant vs its Vosne side. Meaty, slightly tannic start, then a more elegant finish. Needs time, 90-91 points.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru
Tasting at the domaine. Black and red cherry in equal proportion, with some red plum note alongside rich spice and perfume. So bright throughout with a long finish. A very successful vintage for this wine, 91-94 point potential.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru
Tasting at the domaine. Beefy black fruit and very muscular. Bold blacker fruit start-to-finish with subtle spice. Slightly austere finish for now, but that too should resolve as this wine starts a long sleep. I wouldn't touch it until 2030-.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Tasting at the domaine. Red and black fruit with savory spice. Big fruit, big finish, slightly awkward middle right now, but good+ 91-93 point potential.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Tasting at the domaine. Bright red cherry, berry and plum with perfume and sweet spice. Slightly more tart on palate vs nose, but very good density and length. Patience will also be required here, 91-93 point potential, but also 2030 forward.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Tasting at the domaine. So much black cherry and plum with red cherry as well this is a massive head-turner. Very ripe fruit with so much sweet spice and a finish that didn't seem to stop until the next wine was tasted. 95-96 point potential.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Tasting at the domaine. Complex array of red and black berries on nose and palate with engaging perfume and sweet spice. Quintessential Vosne. Everything in its place, just amazingly elegant and powerful together. 94-95 points.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru
Barrel tasting at the domaine. Such pretty red and black cherry throughout with savory spice and good balance already. So charming. 91-94 point potential. This will drink at peak earlier than the 2016.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru
Barrel tasting at the domaine. Similar to Boudots just tasted, just less power and depth. Also very well balanced, this should be good to enjoy young, 89-91 point potential.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Barrel tasting at the domaine. Red cherry and berry with ripeness and emerging floral charm. So engaging in every way, with very good length, weight and balance. 93-95 point potential. This was served to us blind, and I couldn't decide if I thought it Brulées or Richebourg.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
Barrel tasting at the domaine. Served to us blind after Brulées, I immediately knew this had to be Richebourg. This was so much like the wonderful Brulées, but with all that and more. Wow potential, 94-97 point potential.
