White - Sparkling
2007 Chartogne-Taillet Champagne Les Barres France, Champagne
92 points
The 60 years old vines of -Les Barres- are ungrafted and untouched by phylloxera. Fresh, floral nose, a touch of pear and some toast. On the palate, elegant and medium bodied and bright fruit flavors. Lovely freshness and a long mineral finish. A delicious Pinot Meunier Champagne!
White
2010 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis Grand Cru
94 points
Decanted and poured. Very complex and pure nose of green apple, lemon and citrus. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, pure and very primary, with brisk acids and chalky minerality. Laser-like focus and a perfectly balanced and stunning finish! I look forward to drinking it again a decade or so down the road. A brilliant wine! (94-97).
White
2007 Domaine Michel Juillot Corton-Charlemagne France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
89 points
Slightly overripe fruit aromas. On the palate some richness and power, but lacked acid backbone and minerality of a Corton. Reasonably mature and showing obvious advanced signs.
White
2004 Bernard Boisson-Vadot Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru
93 points
Jumping from the glass with aromas of lemon, white peach and delicious apple. On the palate this wine is full-bodied, with great minerality, brisk acids and lovely depth of fruit. Stunning balance and a long finish! A brilliant Genevrières!
Red
2010 Domaine David Clark Vosne-Romanée France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée
90 points
From a 0.16 ha parcel in Aux Ormes, total production 413 bottles. Refined red fruited nose. On the palate the wine is medium-bodied, with a velvety pure red fruited sappy core and a gorgeous balanced finish. A Lovely village!

2010 Emmanuel Rouget Vosne-Romanée France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée
91 points
The nose is deep, pure and complex with red and black cherries and soil tones. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very pure, great expression of its underlying terroir with a very long and refined finish. High class Vosne-Village here!
Red
2009 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin Vieille Vigne France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin
This Vieilles Vignes bottling comes from the border with Brochon. This bottle is sourced from somewhere else and not as good as the 2009 Gevrey v.v. bottling we’ve had before. In any case, on the nose a strange brew of dark berries and dark soil tones. On the palate the wine is medium-full, with an abundance of dry tannins adding astringency to the finish. Bottle Variation – what’s the Story?!
