3/21/2024 - Burgundy Al wrote: NR00 Wines from Burgundy and Willamette (Bligny-lès-Beaune - Burgundy): Sit down tasting. Barrel assemblage. Only cuvee that is fully destemmed. Ultra bright red cherry with crunchy, minerally finish. Ripe with good textures that seem to bring this together into near balance already in barrel. 89-91 point potential. |

This is the Jeunes Vignes. From barrel. Bright red and black cherry with balance, good length that seems to go even longer than the 2022 just tasted. 89-91 point potential. |

2023 00 Wines Meursault 1er Cru Charmes DessusChardonnay more |
3/21/2024 - Burgundy Al wrote: NR00 Wines from Burgundy and Willamette (Bligny-lès-Beaune - Burgundy): Sit down tasting. Barrel assemblage. Spiced, floral with plenty of apple and baked apple. Tasty and rich, long with very good textures and balance, even if not fully woven together in this stage of its infancy. 91-93 point potential, I think this will rise above the 2022 vintage tasted earlier. |

From barrel. Less intensity than the 2002 right now, but the same concentration. Charming already now, well spiced, nearly perfumed. Very good 91-93 points. |

2023 00 Wines Pommard 1er Cru Les Grands ÉpenotsPinot Noir more |
3/21/2024 - Burgundy Al wrote: NR00 Wines from Burgundy and Willamette (Bligny-lès-Beaune - Burgundy): Sit down tasting. Barrel assemblage. Black and red cherry with fleshy fruit drive aromas that fully extends onto the palate with beef grilled rare and braised meat spices. Moderate power, softly structured, all very accessible for such young Pommard, this showcases it rich, fun fruit. 90-92 point potential. |

3/21/2024 - Burgundy Al wrote: NR00 Wines from Burgundy and Willamette (Bligny-lès-Beaune - Burgundy): Sit down tasting. Barrel assemblage. So much black fruit here is already wonderfully finessed and beautifully textured. Sit down tasting. Barrel assemblage. Clear firmness stands hand-in-hand with the ripe black fruit and subtle spice to give this a big, muscular combination that will reward patience, from 2030, 94-95 point potential. |

2023 00 Wines Charmes-ChambertinCharmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
3/21/2024 - Burgundy Al wrote: NR00 Wines from Burgundy and Willamette (Bligny-lès-Beaune - Burgundy): Sit down tasting. Barrel assemblage. From vines just across from Chambertin. So much lush black fruit with roasted meat that comes across as near sweet for now but I know that will fade quickly into the background and morph into wonderful richness. Long finish ends with excellent depth and hints of emerging power, hints of nuance that will surely emerge. Very good 93-94 point potential. |

2023 00 Wines Corton-CharlemagneCorton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay more |
3/21/2024 - Burgundy Al wrote: NR00 Wines from Burgundy and Willamette (Bligny-lès-Beaune - Burgundy): Sit down tasting. Barrel assemblage. This included grapes from both Le Corton and en Charlemagne for the first time. Floral, minty, spiced with so much orchard fruit. Good stuffing, but lacking the depth of the 2022 just tasting because this 2023 is still under formation, but I think it has even greater potential. Lots here to enjoy once this becomes a finished wine. |

Floral and fully engaging already, this seems delicate but delicious. Finessed start and middle, soft but long finish. Complex fruit and spice already, 92-94 points. |

3/18/2024 - Burgundy Al wrote: 89 pointsLes Portes d'Or de la Bourgogne - Les Grands Jours de Bourgogne (William Fèvre's Vineyards - Chablis): Walkaround tasting with producers. Both ripe and lean apple with great density for its level, seemingly backward for now, but coiled and energetic with so much in reserve. |
