2017 Caroline Morey Santenay Les Cornières Blanc
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Santenay
(5/3/2019)
Cloudy. Obvious sulfur. Some peach but tart and austere. Don't care for this at all.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet

Also not entirely clear. Fine lemony aromas with a bit of reduction. Elegant, citric, and mineral. Excellent.

Very pale but good earthy dark red fruit and black licorice. Brambly.

2017 Caroline Morey Chassagne-Montrachet Rouge
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet
(5/3/2019)
Limpid. Smoky red fruit, more feel than the Santenay. The fruit almost shows a bit of sweetness. Tannic finish. I prefer this but wouldn't dream of paying close to $60 for it.

2017 Caroline Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champs-Gain Rouge
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru
(5/3/2019)
Light red. Light body but a lovely feel. Fine soil, ripe fruit, and finely grained tannins. The best of the 4 reds tonight.

2017 Caroline Morey Beaune 1er Cru Grèves Rouge
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru
(5/3/2019)
Magnum. Light red. Cranberry, soil, and some reduction. Earth more than fruit, moderate green elements, some char, quite tannic. Bigger than the other reds (the wine as well as the bottle). Needs time, but I find this pretty severe and dry in the early going.

2017 Domaine Louis Michel Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre
France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru
(5/4/2019)
Light with greenish tint. More upfront salinity and iodine than the La Chablisienne wine. More essence of Chablis and less fully fruited. Light but excellent acidity and drive.

2017 Henri Boillot Bourgogne Blanc
France, Burgundy, Bourgogne Blanc
(5/4/2019)
Medium yellow. Toasty and reduced on the nose. Some peach and glycerine, but hard to get past the oak.

2016 Domaine Sylvain Langoureau Saint-Aubin Blanc
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Saint-Aubin
(5/4/2019)
Light yellow. Attractive aromas of flowers and lime. Light weight, hint of glycerine, minimal citrus and maximal soil. Flavors otherwise somewhat neutral. Better smell and feel than flavor.

2017 Henri Boillot Meursault
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault
(5/4/2019)
Medium yellow. Like the Bourgogne, sulfur and wood aromas. Rich, round, and nutty with very good acidity. Good substance here, better on the palate, but I think it will always come across as overly oaky.

2017 Coudert Fleurie Clos de la Roilette
France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Fleurie
(5/4/2019)
Light color. Strange combination of bubble gum and tart cherry on the nose. Light to medium weight. Licorice, black fruit, soil, and a short finish. I usually like this wine but found this to be too meager and tart.

2017 Faiveley Mercurey
France, Burgundy, Côte Chalonnaise, Mercurey
(5/4/2019)
Light red center. Brambly wet earth. Medium weight. Dry, dark, earthy fruit with strong acidity, clay base feel, and a metallic edge. Quite a bit to it, but I'm not convinced about the balance.

2017 Henri Boillot Bourgogne
France, Burgundy, Bourgogne
(5/4/2019)
Pale. Stemmy smelling. Surprisingly sappy attack with some red fruit that is rapidly cut off by a tart, citric finish and moderate tannin. I did not enjoy any of the 3 young Boillot wines today.

2016 Joseph Drouhin Chambolle-Musigny
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny
(5/4/2019)
Light red. Lovely floral tones. Light, elegant feel. Bright red fruit with an edge of tartness, a touch of cool mint, and a smoky finish. Very Chambolle, very accessible now.

2016 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges Vieilles Vignes
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges
(5/4/2019)
Clear ruby. Meaty, licorice nose. Medium weight. Lots of black fruit and grip, although fairly refined feel for Nuits. Give it 5+ years.

2016 Mongeard-Mugneret Clos Vougeot
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
(5/4/2019)
Light ruby with clearing. Smoke and herbs. Medium weight, real sappiness, strong acidity, excellent soil, refined tannins, and moderately oaky. Good material here, and neither too rustic nor austere for Clos Vougeot. Better in 7 or 8 years.
