White
2000 Domaine / Maison Vincent Girardin Le Montrachet France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru
Two bottles of this, and unfortunately it didn't shine in either presentation.
White
2004 Bouchard Père et Fils Montrachet France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru
Two bottles of this. Both were clean, pristine, and very good.
White
2002 Henri Boillot Montrachet France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru
I wasn't as big a fan of this as others. The nose was nonexistent. The palate opened up, and was quite good, but expected more.
White
2002 Marquis de Laguiche (Joseph Drouhin) Montrachet France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru
Decent, but not outstanding.
White
2005 Domaine Jacques Prieur Montrachet France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru
I've actually never had a Prieur Montrachet, and this was very good. I would definitely buy this wine.
White
2007 Etienne Sauzet Montrachet France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru
Very nice indeed. I like Sauzet's 07's.
White
2009 Domaine Ramonet Montrachet France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru
My note was illegible. Thinking this was the controversial corked bottle?
White
2004 Marc Colin et Fils Montrachet France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru
From mag. Very decent, and I liked it a lot.
White
2006 Marc Colin et Fils Montrachet France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru
Also from mag, and for me a step function down from the 04.
White
1969 Maison Leroy Montrachet France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru
A very fun bottle, and thanks Jon for opening it.
Red
1980 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée St. Vivant France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru
A beautiful bottle that showed its 1980 character perfectly. Loved it.
Red
1993 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée St. Vivant France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru
Very very good, but very very young. The good 93's simply don't show any sign of ageing. When will they mature?
Red
1998 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Romanée St. Vivant France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru
There was something off with this bottle. Very brett like, and overpowered the wine.
Red
1988 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Richebourg France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
An absolute rock star, that was easily my WOTN for Saturday night. Loved this bottle.
Red
1996 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Richebourg France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
A very good 96, which lived up to its reputation.
Red
1990 Domaine Jean Gros Richebourg France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
A very, very good bottle, that surprised me on the upside.
Red
1991 Gros Frère et Sœur Richebourg France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
Its tough to be flighted with DRC. Didn't impress.
Red
1997 Domaine Méo-Camuzet Richebourg France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
I have a soft spot for Meo Richebourg, and seemed to like this better than others. But it was 97 and presented appropriately for the vintage.
Red
2002 Gros Frère et Sœur Richebourg France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
Pretty decent wine, but again I'm a sucker for 02's.
Red
1999 Domaine Robert Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux Romanée St. Vivant France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru
flawed
Corked, notwithstanding protestations to the contrary.
Red
2006 Domaine Robert Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux Romanée St. Vivant France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru
This did virtually nothing for me, but others liked it. It's a producer that rarely moves me.
