2015 Jean-Claude Ramonet Bâtard-Montrachet 96 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
(3/11/2022)
Small pour, brief note. Really brilliant, especially in context of the vintage. While fun, ripe, and precocious, this is also powerful, balanced and nearly elegant. Great now with upside.

2014 Jean-Claude Ramonet Bâtard-Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
(3/11/2022)
Small pour, brief note. So much here, but not quite fully harmonious yet. Superbly bright, powerful and energetic, but the fruit is less forthcoming. Hold until 2026 or later, but certainly 94-95+ point potential.

2013 Domaine Ramonet Montrachet 96 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru
(3/11/2022)
Small glass, brief note. So similar to last night's magnum, possibly just slightly less unctuous. A baby.

2005 Alain Hudelot-Noëllat Clos Vougeot
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
(3/11/2022)
Small glass, brief note. Bottle had been opened the previous evening, and revisited this afternoon, at which point it seemed very tired to me, which is surprising for a 2005.

2008 Salon Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut 97 Points
France, Champagne
(3/11/2022)
Small pour, brief note. Magnum. A bright and stunning vintage for Salon. Tingling, lingering finish makes me so happy... then sad it is gone.

2010 Domaine Marc-Antonin Blain Bâtard-Montrachet 89 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
(3/11/2022)
Small pour, brief note. Good balance, enjoyable indeed, maybe barely Grand Cru concentration.

2011 Coche-Dury Corton-Charlemagne 96 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
(3/11/2022)
Small pour, brief note. Once you engage, you just can't turn away. Not a powerhouse, but a stunning beauty.

1988 Domaine Ponsot Griotte-Chambertin 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru
(3/11/2022)
Small pour, brief note. Meaty and earthy with classic Gevrey styling. Tannins are perfectly assimilated, everything works here, even if just barely at Grand Cru density. Very good now. I have mostly been a big fan of Ponsot 1988s.

2000 Château Palmer 96 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux
(3/11/2022)
Small glass, brief note. Wow, this is really starting to emerge into a great wine. Perfumed and silky with so much pleasure, yet so much more in reserve.

2012 Coche-Dury Meursault Les Rougeots 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault
(3/11/2022)
Popped-and-poured, served alongside the 2013. This was a beauty right out of the gate with the richness of the vintage complemented with so much sheer concentration, dry extract, and brightening energy. Upside from here.

2013 Coche-Dury Meursault Les Rougeots 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault
(3/11/2022)
Popped-and-poured, served alongside the 2012. This was noticeably reductive to start, so decanter aeration was required, which worked its miracles here. This evolved into a layered, spiced wine with the great juxtaposition of sweet and tart elements. Probably even better than the 2012 by the 2-hour mark.

2011 Coche-Dury Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet
(3/11/2022)
Brilliant aromatic start is floral with fresh and poached pear. Apple and pear on palate but not nearly as seamless as the two vintages of Rougeots, so coming across as slightly disjointed for now. Tough to assess where this will go.

2010 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques Cuvée Centenaire 97 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
(3/11/2022)
Small pour from 3L, brief note. Fourrier personified. This is all about perfect fruit - pure, dense, and incredibly intense, prototypically expressing Gevrey. A great wine. My first time ever tasting this as a finished wine (i.e., from bottle) in any vintage.

1980 Château Laville Haut-Brion Blanc
France, Bordeaux, Graves, Pessac-Léognan
(3/11/2022)
Small glass, brief note. Good weight, still nicely fresh and bright with good length, but slightly lacking complexity. Certainly enjoyable, but I have rarely been a big Laville fan.

2003 Domaine Perrot-Minot Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes 89 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny
(3/11/2022)
Small pour, brief note. Bright red fruit, shockingly fresh, still showing bright textures. Christophe was one of Burgundy's top performers in this challenging vintage.

2016 Olivier Bernstein Chambertin
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin Grand Cru
(3/11/2022)
Small pour, brief note. Something seemed wrong with this bottle, which was so backward, angular and awkward, completely different vs when tasted from barrel or what I get from any 2016.

2019 Charles Lachaux Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
(3/11/2022)
Small pour, brief note. Ripe, tasty, and slightly jammy, but I found it slightly lacking depth. Not sure what to make of this wine.

2017 Domaine Robert Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux Nuits St. Georges Les Poisets 89 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges
(3/11/2022)
Small pour, brief note. Delicately floral with a combination or black and red berries on nose and palate. Everything easy and well balanced, a 2017 that nicely expresses the vintage. Will be good young.

2016 Domaine Prieuré Roch Chambertin-Clos de Bèze
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru
(3/11/2022)
Small pour, brief note. Lots here for sure, but it is already seeming slightly dirty.

1999 Domaine Méo-Camuzet Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brûlées Flawed
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
(3/11/2022)
So sad, this was slightly heat damaged or stewed in some way.

2012 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
(3/11/2022)
Alongside the 2008. Fundamentally opulent with black berries and plum in front of roasted meat. A real powerhouse that is maybe getting close to its peak. Much better when retasted an hour after opened vs right away.

2008 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
(3/11/2022)
Alongside the 2012, this was more "ready" with an engaging combination of fresh and maturing black cherry and berry aromas and flavors, supported with silky tannins and animale. Tghe 2012 might become a better wine from 2030 forward, but the 2008 was more pleasurable this afternoon.

2019 Jean-Claude Ramonet Bâtard-Montrachet 95 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
(3/11/2022)
Small pour, brief note. Opulent throughout, showing ripe apple and baked apple with an inherent richness, but with a very energetic through-line helping keep this wonderfully vibrant. Much too young, but a great wine in the making.

1970 Bodegas Vega-Sicilia Ribera del Duero Único 95 Points
Spain, Castilla y León, Ribera del Duero
(3/11/2022)
Small pour, brief note. How does this wine stay this fresh? Dense, denser, densest with impeccable balance.

2017 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Chambertin
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin Grand Cru
(3/11/2022)
Small pour, brief note. Alongside the Chambertin-Clos de Bèze. Spiced aromas with robust and dense black fruit with some rare meat. Similar flavors, not quite yet seamless, this has a slightly hollow middle, but finishes powerful again. Good now, probably 93 points, but this needs another decade in the cellar, and I am confident it will have 95-96+ point potential.

2017 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Chambertin-Clos de Bèze 95 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru
(3/11/2022)
Small pour, brief note. Alongside the Chambertin. As usual, the Chambertin-Clos de Bèze is more alluring in its youth, with the big boy more reticent. Spice, meat and an array of black fruit seem in perfect harmony. Not the most powerful vintage for this wine, but the balance will still turn heads. Very good already, but better to hold at least a few more years, and then enjoy for a few more decades.

2013 Domaine Ramonet Montrachet 97 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru
(3/10/2022)
From magnum. Brilliant combination of sweet and tart fruit, sweet and savory spice with unctuous textures and a long, zen finish. A powerhouse in its early stages of beauty.

2013 Domaine Jacques Carillon Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Flawed
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
(3/10/2022)
In 2013 "Bâtard" horizontal. This was very reductive to start, and while it improved with decanting and time, never really strutted its stuff. An odd bottle. Reduction didn't bother others as much. Great raw material obvious.

2013 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Bâtard-Montrachet 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
(3/10/2022)
In 2013 "Bâtard" horizontal. Apple and pear with some mint and anise. This has excellent concentration, starting off lush and opulent, but ending with a bright edge. Faint reduction was gone within minutes of pouring, and this wine kept getting better and better with more time and air.

2013 Domaine Leflaive Bâtard-Montrachet 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
(3/10/2022)
In 2013 "Bâtard" horizontal. Incredible richness and harmonious, wonderfully spiced and floral with a kiss of sweetness. Great length. This easily started out as my favorite of the flight, but Pierre-Yves' wine might have caught up when finished.

1990 Domaine Leroy Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Beaux Monts 96 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
(3/10/2022)
Perfect expression of Vosne from a ripe vintage with lush red cherry, berry, liqueur, and perfumed spicebox and silky structure. Good weight and a long-ish lingering finish.

2000 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Montrachet 98 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru
(3/10/2022)
Brilliant aromas pull you in, complex and unfolding flavors of savory and near-sweet fruit keep you engaged. Long finish, so powerful, while lithe. From the same source as the bottle I tasted a few months ago, tonight's might have been even better.

2011 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée St. Vivant 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru

Small pour, brief note. Bright and lively red fruit, good spice, nothing bitter, good density. A success for the vintage.

1959 Maison Leroy Grands-Echezeaux 97 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru

Small glass, brief note. Haunting beauty is so spiced with enchanting mature character that manages to seem pristine. Always a great wine, tonight might have been its best performance I can recall.

1991 Jean-Jacques Confuron Romanée St. Vivant 89 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru
(3/10/2022)
Small glass, brief note. Also very pleasant, this has a charming, classically Vosne character, but its density and size would never have me think it Grand Cru if served blind.

1996 Domaine Robert Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux Romanée St. Vivant 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru
(3/10/2022)
Robust and complex, this is still a bit firm and imperfectly harmonious, but so much great fruit, spice and structure here. Another 1996 that has further upside.

Problematic cork. Wine was fine and drinkable, but so lackluster vs its brilliance from barrel and in its youth.

1993 Marquis de Laguiche (Joseph Drouhin) Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru
(3/10/2022)
Small glass, brief note. Fully+ mature but still interesting, just not nearly as complex as a bottle tasted 2 years ago. This even fell off in the 15 minutes from when my glass was poured until finished, but the bottle had been opened several hours earlier.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru
(3/10/2022)
Small glass, brief note. Ripe and rich, but everything so well integrated already. Rockstar classic Vosne with clear Grand Cru density. Great now, but certainly better 2029 forward.

2016 Louis Jadot Clos Vougeot 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
(3/10/2022)
Small taste from 3L. Ultra bright and elegant with more red vs black fruit. Now a powerful vintage for this wine, but a charming wine that should drink well young, 2025 forward.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey St. Denis 1er Cru
(3/10/2022)
Small pour, brief note. Bottle had been open several hours. Fleshy and ripe red and black cherry with a very firm middle for now. Very long finish really shows the textural elegance this wine shows when ready. Better from 2028 forward.

1993 Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Bonnes Mares 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru
(3/10/2022)
Small glass, brief note. On the meaty side for Roumier Bonnes Mares, this is a powerful edition, but less elegant than typical. Lots of fruit with good spice notes. Very long finish. I doubt there is much further upside, but see little fear of it declining. The 1990 tasted next was even better.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru

Small glass, brief note. Slightly youthful, ripe and precocious, this is a powerhouse in development with so many layers you can sense emerging. A great wine that will just get even better.

2002 Joseph Drouhin Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
(3/10/2022)
Small glass, brief note. Just starting to show some evolution, this is at a charming place now. Red cherry and berry, balancing fresh and dried fruit character with subtle spice. Great textures are brilliantly Chambolle - lithe and weightless without compromising on concentration. Further upside from here.
