Flight 1 (1 Note)

  • 2006 Pascal Lachaux Nuits St. Georges 84 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges

    Certainly not quite in the flush of use.
    A fruity nose, mixed red fruits reminiscent of summer pudding.
    Plenty of fruit as the wine passes your lips, soft tannins and good balance, needs food, drinking well now but will be at its best in 3 to 5 years, quite long.

Flight 2 (1 Note)

  • 2005 Domaine Lucien Jacob Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru 90 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru

    Quite a youthful colour.
    A lovely nose, aromatic fruit with plenty of complexity.
    Still very youthful, fruit and tannins beautifully balanced, a lovely full mouth but this wine won't be at its zenith for 5 to 10 years, good length.

  • 2004 Domaine Chandon de Briailles Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Ile des Vergelesses 87 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru

    Showing plenty of age.
    A very vegetal nose, peas with fungi, interesting and complex, with volcanic notes - and then the fruit comes through.
    There's still some fruit in the mouth, it's fairly smooth but with evidence of tannins, a bit of pepper comes in at the finish, this might improve over the next 3 to 5 years, medium length.

  • 2002 Domaine Chevalier Ladoix 1er Cru La Corvée 90 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Ladoix 1er Cru

    Light in colour with less age than expected.
    "Cabbages" my sister would say with delight, fruity and vegetal welcome, complex, delicate.
    Fruity attack with residual soft tannins, fresh enjoyable mid-palate, medium length.

Flight 6 (1 Note)

  • 2002 Albert Morot Beaune 1er Cru Les Toussaints 84 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru

    Not showing much age, quite dense.
    Fruity and youthful nose, with meaty notes underneath.
    A fruity attack, some oak still, velvety mid-palate but a bit "treacly", quite long, might improve a bit but not for keeping over 3 years.

Flight 7 (1 Note)

  • 2001 Louis Jadot Beaune 91 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune

    NOTE - The label said Beaune but the cork said Premier Cru Les Agrots!
    Very little age for an 8-year-old wine.
    Very complex and inviting fruit and vegetable nose.
    Fruity, with a great mid-palate, at its zenith now and should stay there for another five years, good length.

  • 2001 Domaine Dujac Morey St. Denis 94 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey St. Denis

    A little age, but only a little.
    Fruity,youthful, complex nose - lovely.
    Youthful, oaky, fruity, delicious but not yet near its best, will be very, very good in 5 - 15 years, great length.
