Tasting at the domaine. Racked/ assembled two weeks ago. All red cherry with slightly sweet spice and very good balance for its level. 30% new oak. Very good length for its level. 89-90 point potential.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru
Tasting at the domaine. Racked/ assembled two weeks ago. 40% new oak. Same red cherry flavor profile as the Vosne, but bigger and slightly meatier with more tannic backbone. Longer finish, just slightly firm for right now. 90-91 point potential, 2023-.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Tasting at the domaine. Racked/ assembled three weeks ago. Bright red cherry and berry from start-to-finish. Savory spice throughout with very impressive textural excitement and energy through to its very long finish. Better now vs from barrel last summer, 91-92 point potential.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Tasting at the domaine. Racked/ assembled four weeks ago. Red berry and cherry on both nose and palate with more savory vs sweet spice, with even more spice emerging on finish. Good+ weight, very good length. Very impressive 93-94 point potential.
10-15% whole cluster in the larger les Rouges holding (2/3 of the crop), which has the older vines. This was done originally in 2016 to help fill the fermentation vat, then done again in 2017 and 2018.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru
Tasting at the domaine. Racked/ assembled four weeks ago. More black vs red cherry with subtle floral hints along with smoked sausage. Good+ weight and length with a slightly firm finish. More density but less complexity vs the Echezeaux. This needs more time, 92-94 point potential, 2030-.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Tasting at the domaine. Racked/ assembled four weeks ago. Complex cross-section of red and black cherry everywhere with some roasted meat, anise and allspice. So much concentration, this is slightly backward today but such grace and potential. Once again, this is the star of the lineup, 94+ point potential.
