White
2010 Blain-Gagnard Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
93 points
Rich apple aromas and flavors with some baked apple notes and corresponding spice. Starts out so rich and flavorful, then gets minerally with chiseled textures on long finish. So good now, best to enjoy through the next few years.
Red
2001 Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg Clos Vougeot France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
93 points
Small glass, brief note. Floral with enticing spice. Plenty of red cherry throughout that is faintly starting to age. Very good concentration. Slightly firm finish now that will soften further with more time in the cellar.
Red
2013 Charles Van Canneyt Charmes-Chambertin France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru
90 points
Small glass, brief note. Black and red cherry with meaty hints. Good weight, good+ balance. Good to enjoy now.
Red
2013 Charles Van Canneyt Chambertin France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin Grand Cru
92 points
Small glass, brief note. A big step up vs Charmes-Chambertin with more roasted meat and very good depth and concentration along with good black cherry and plum.
Red
2015 Charles Van Canneyt Chambertin France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin Grand Cru
93 points
Tasting, brief note. Ripe red and black cherry starts of out forward and seemingly accessible for young Chambertin. Density and tannins emerge at the end along with more tannins. Beautiful now, but the sneaky structure makes me confident of plenty of upside.

2015 Charles Van Canneyt Chambertin-Clos de Bèze France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru
92 points
Tasting, brief note. Forward and fleshy back fruit with good spice. So tasty right now, probably better vs Chambertin for the near-term, even if less long-term potential to evolve.
White
2011 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Meursault Les Narvaux France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault
90 points
Slightly reductive start, which blew off in 15 minutes. Nutty with apple, showing good weight and length. Charming. Good to enjoy in th enext few years.
Red
2010 Domaine Dujac Charmes-Chambertin France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru
93 points
Tasting, brief note. Lots of black cherry with some red cherry hints. Plenty of spice throughout, then more spice. Elegant spice, expanding finish. Wonderful now, with plenty of upside.
Red
2008 Domaine Francois Lamarche Echezeaux France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
flawed
Slightly corked.
Red
2002 Domaine Michel Lafarge Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chênes France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru
93 points
Fresh and dried red cherry with floral notes. Very big and long, even of this is brawny and firm for now. Popped and poured, this kept getting better with more air.
Red
2005 Chanson Père & Fils Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Small glass, brief note. All black fruit with subtle spice notes that didn't come across as particularly Vosne. But very good weight and length. Still backward, so quite 2005 in that regard. Better in another 5+ years, probably 2025 or later.

2006 Domaine Roulot Bourgogne Blanc France, Burgundy, Bourgogne Blanc
87 points
Small glass, brief note. Floral and ripe aromas come across as very fun. Less exciting flavors, but still tasty and fun, even if somewhat one dimensional.
Red
1987 Louis Jadot Mazis-Chambertin France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru
86 points
Small glass, brief note. Pleasant and charming, even if slightly simple. Holding up nicely given its age and the 87 vintage. Tasty, even if not quite displaying Grand Cru density.
Red
2015 Faiveley Corton-Clos des Cortons Faiveley France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru
Small glass, brief note. Lush and very ripe with so much power alongside the black and red cherry aromas and flavors. Big and powerful throughout, slightly backward from middle through finish. 94-95 point potential, but this will reward 20+ years in the cellar.

1986 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Chambertin-Clos de Bèze France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru
flawed
Small glass, brief note. Certainly big, but also lots of signs of decay.
Red
2015 Jean-Marie Fourrier Clos Vougeot Vieille Vigne France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
92 points
Small glass, brief note. Opulent red and black cherry. Borderline jammy, but clearly able to retain very good balance. Tasty now with so much depth, while slightly firm on its finish.
Red
1966 Camille Giroud Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru
93 points
Slowly cooked mushroom medley with lots of mature black fruit and slightly sweet spice. Very good length. Wonderfully clean for its age. So elegant and harmonious.
White
2014 Domaine de Montille Corton-Charlemagne France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
Small glass, brief note. Floral with green and yellow apple and engaging spice. So nicely balanced already. 92-93 point potential.
White
2014 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Chassagne-Montrachet Les Ancegnières France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet
Small glass, brief note. Floral nose with poached pear and some tropical aromatic hints. Similar flavors, just more backward and quite firm. Very good 90+ point potential, but this will need a few more years in the cellar.
Red
2003 Domaine du Clos de Tart Clos de Tart France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de Tart Grand Cru
92 points
Small glass, brief note. Clearly rich and ripe, but enough structure for plenty of balance and harmony. Powerful and long. Very tasty now, with the concentration to last for decades.
White
2009 Dönnhoff Hermannshöhle Riesling Großes Gewächs Germany, Nahe
Small glass, brief note. Lots of apple, lots of brightness. Crisp with a precise, minerally finish.
