Pretty, rich, delicious. At peak, drink up.

Youthful, crisp, tense, with lighter mouthfeel. Gained more power with air, and some mint aroma. This seemed a bit simple next to Caillerets and Ruchottes today, but with ample acidity and tension that it may be too early to fully assess.

Richer, rounder and more viscous mouthfeel than Boudriottes, but lacking a bit of tension. Vergers for today, and Boudriottes for the future.

Excellent quality, remarkable precision, a super wine. Nevertheless, it was outclassed by Ruchottes today which was incredible.

A touch more oak at first than the Chassagne wines, this is dense and exotic. A Premier Cru performance, and plenty of material here to keep evolving.

Grand Cru quality, the aroma alone is worth the price of admission. This wine is like drinking a liquid diamond dust, it's exquisite. Profound texture and purity. As much as I loved the 2010 version, this may be even better.

Incredible! Wow from the first sniff. Cinnamon, spice, roses. Perfectly balanced, and at peak. Reference standard Burgundy, this is an absolute stunner.

Clean, dark fruits, but closed not very expressive. This needs another 5 years, which makes me think the Musigny must be a couple decades from approachability.

Served blind. Soft and round compared to Batard and Bienvenues, very long finish. Surprisingly accessible, and quite delicious, but not as much cut as I'd expect from Chevalier. Nobody at the table pegged this as the Chevalier blind.

Served blind. More oak and fruit than the previous wine (which turned out to be Chevalier), and a lot of intensity here.

Served blind. More tropical than the wines that preceded it (Chevalier and Bienvenues), but kept in check by a massive amount of dry extract. Surprisingly a friend who is usually hypersensitive about tropical notes was unbothered by this. Stellar wine, a top notch example of Ramonet Batard.

Maderized but still some fruit, nutty, light bubbles. Drinkable, but clearly over the hill.
