2020 Domaine Sylvain Pataille Marsannay Rosé Fleur de PinotPinot Blend, Pinot Noir more |
5/11/2024 - wineton.mee wrote: 92 pointsRidiculously delicious, generous bouquet full of watermelon and strawberry laced with a bit of reduction. Refined tannins and lip smacking. |

2019 Pierre Girardin Puligny-Montrachet Les EnseignèresChardonnay more |
5/9/2024 - wineton.mee wrote: 92 pointsReductive, rich and dense. This has a lot of wound up energy and stuffing that I feel it’s gonna require a few years to mellow down. |

NV Guillaume Selosse Champagne Largillier Extra BrutPinot Noir more |
5/9/2024 - wineton.mee wrote: 96 pointsThe G. Selosse Largillier only just edged it for me amongst the trinity of excellent bubbles which involved Cédric Bouchard Ursules 13 and Prevost Beguines LC19, but edged it did, and the juice was glorious to behold. Powerful nose that had the unmistakable house style, but rubbed off in a gentler way. Beneath all that brawny and dramatic nose, the wine is mineral and focused, and had beautifully chiseled finish. |

2019 Jérôme Prévost Champagne La Closerie Extra Brut Les BeguinesPinot Meunier more |
5/9/2024 - wineton.mee wrote: 95 pointsProvost is prevost again, and only gotten better. Spicy and oxidative plum nose, full of toasted nuts and sweet pear. In the mouth, this had muscular entry, bursting fruits which finished off chalky and focused. No you don’t need to lay this down to enjoy it, it’s roaring from the get-go. Also, low dosage is quite apparent here. |

2013 Roses de Jeanne / Cédric Bouchard Champagne Millésimé Blanc de Noirs Les UrsulesPinot Noir more |
5/9/2024 - wineton.mee wrote: 95 pointsAbsolutely stunning Cédric Bouchard and probably one of the best I’ve ever had. Straddles the perfect middle ground of having tremendous energy and rounded tertiary complexity. It’s like biting into a meticulously crafted caramel lemon tart, the bottle was passed around and vapourized in a flash. |

2013 Domaine Dujac Clos St. DenisClos St. Denis Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
5/7/2024 - wineton.mee wrote: 95 pointspop and pour. amalgamation of roses, dark cherries, blood orange, minty spices and woody undergrowth. The classic cool and lush Dujac game here. Oak not yet fully integrated but it’s doing its best to get there. Palate is crackling, with a broad spectrum of stimulating spices doing good work in the mouth. Overall, I’d let this sit for a bit before cracking another one. |

2021 Bastian Wolber Chardonnay Laisse TomberVin de France more |
5/6/2024 - wineton.mee wrote: 92 pointsI think it’s very good for what it is, secondary market prices aside obviously. Rather modern and fashionable nose of lemon curd, almond and white flowers. Bouquet is soaring 30min in. The palate is reductive, fruit though is restrained and focused. 4 hours later loses some of that focus in place of more breadth. Oily texture. Enjoyable, but not mind blowing. |

2008 Taittinger Champagne Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs BrutChardonnay more |
5/3/2024 - wineton.mee wrote: 95 pointsThe 2008 Comtes is simply going from strength to strength. The most ready rendition I’ve had, full of brioche, lemon curd, toasted almond, honey, and marzipan. Super giving on both the nose and palate, and will probably stay like this for a long time to come. |

2008 Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg Vosne-RomanéePinot Noir more |
5/1/2024 - wineton.mee wrote: 91 pointsLots of tertiary here and more generous up against the 2017. Got plenty of earth, ripe but dried cherry fruit, raspberries, spices, well resolved oak and touches of cocoa powder. The issue I have here is that 08 acid, just kinda jutting out a little too much for my comfort. Otherwise, a lovely pour |

2017 Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg Vosne-RomanéePinot Noir more |
5/1/2024 - wineton.mee wrote: 91 pointsReally wound up at the moment, and needs tremendous breathing to wake up. Lacking that 17 generosity. Also quite dark fruited; cherries, raspberries, and touches of liqueur. I think this has the stuffing to be something delicious but today, it just needs to sort itself out first. |

1993 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La MoulineSyrah more |
5/1/2024 - wineton.mee wrote: 95 pointsThe other surprise package of the night. Cut roses, strawberries, raspberries, soil, cigar box, really mellow, and lots of tertiary complexity. So delicate and in harmony, none of that over the top black fruits in the younger vintages. |
| Red |
2000 Thierry Allemand Cornas ReynardSyrah more |
5/1/2024 - wineton.mee wrote: 92 pointsVery pleasurable, and elegant; more red fruited vs black and had that trademark screechy acidity. Good development here with some cherries, smoky tapenade, barnyard and earth. Obviously doesn’t hail from a blockbuster year but still nice to have tasted it. Legs to go further but I wouldn’t bother. |

2008 Château Rayas Châteauneuf-du-Pape Pignan ReserveGrenache more |
5/1/2024 - wineton.mee wrote: 94 pointsA pale orange red. Packs a lot on the nose and immediately identifiable as Rayas and an excellent representation of range. This would’ve done even better with another 12 hours of air time, as it got strikingly elegant on day 2. Some prunes, candied strawberries, potpourri and lots of spices in the mouth. The wine gave a lot of oomph and a big dash of sweet fruit, but on the palate, weightless and airy, leaving almost no evidence of the suggest “jamminess” as a result of those exciting peppers and spice dancing on the tongue. Got a lot left in the tank. |

2006 Château Rayas Côtes du Rhône Château de Fonsalette ReserveRed Rhone Blend more |
5/1/2024 - wineton.mee wrote: 89 pointsReally difficult to place this wine, not getting any of the Rayas DNA on this at the start, but with some air time in the glass, yea the sweet fruit, kirsch, honey and prunes kicked it, although still very much dialed back that what I would’ve expected. Today it’s a massive block that’s unyielding and wound up, and from the looks of it, I’m really not sure when this’ll turn around. |

2002 Domaine Bruno Clavelier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru La Combe d'Orveau Vieilles VignesPinot Noir more |
5/1/2024 - wineton.mee wrote: 93 pointsGlossy dark and extracted Chambolle but at the same time managed to keep everything in check and not overdone. This reminded me of Vogue, albeit with a little less flamboyance. Lush fruit and serious structure, yea this will last for a while yet. |
| Red |
2001 Domaine Jean Grivot Clos VougeotClos Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
5/1/2024 - wineton.mee wrote: 90 pointsBit wild and rustic, like Ponsot without the complexity and giving fruit. Big tannins and structure which points to perhaps a grand cru but I went to Nebbiolo here. This is a classic Grivot of old and this is for sure an acquired taste, one which I’m still struggling to like. |

1991 Jean-Pierre Mugneret EchezeauxEchezeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
4/30/2024 - wineton.mee wrote: 93 pointsSurprise package of the evening because I've not heard of the maker and it's so darn good. A very lovely and mellow Echezeaux, lots of classicism, sou bois and autumnal leaves, with touches of dried cherry fruits that is still going strong. Not at all drying out whatsoever. |

1989 Château Calon-SégurSt. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/29/2024 - wineton.mee wrote: 92 pointsQuite developed already and drinking well. Looks older than 89 though from the rather light and sparse palate. Doesn't come across as a blockbuster wine. However, the aromatics and sweetness of the fruit is rather on point and I enjoyed it. If this bottle is representative however, it's probably time to empty the stash. |

1989 Dunn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valleymore |
4/29/2024 - wineton.mee wrote: 91 pointsSimilar notes to Pavel below. Thought this a super tuscan wine by the sheer size of it, as old Napas can be rather mellow after these amount of age. Copious amount of dark fruits, tannins, alot of muscle and gusto, though rather one dimensional at that. Probably better with a lot more age. |

1989 Château Pichon-Longueville BaronPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/29/2024 - wineton.mee wrote: 93 pointsGlad to have tasted this again after a few years, though it remains tremendously youthful still. The previous one I had might be mildly corked and this I felt was in good shape. Deep ruby hues and some solid structure remaining in the tank. All the typical Pauillac goodness of pencil shavings, blue berries, cherry, and liquorice, very suave and imposing at the back. |

1993 Faiveley Latricières-ChambertinLatricières-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
4/29/2024 - wineton.mee wrote: 94 pointsNeeded a couple hours to flesh out but what a classic Gevrey. It for sure needed that air and offered lots of earth, sou bois, touch of barnyard and dried red berry fruits and cured meat. Very alive and drinking well at tertiary peak. Unlike the extracted style of old Faiveley. |

2020 Domaine Roulot Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru RougePinot Noir more |
4/29/2024 - wineton.mee wrote: 91 pointsDeep candied red fruits on the nose but actually fine and elegant on the palate. Dark cherries, raspberries, blueberries, kirsch even, all kinds of fruit at the moment and very forward. Moderate acidity and crunchy. |
