Flight 1 (14 notes)

White
2017 Thomas Batardière Anjou L'Esprit Libre France, Loire Valley, Anjou-Saumur, Anjou
Very youthful bouquet. On the palate green apples, a lot of citrus and some pepper. No more notes and no score.

In the bouquet walnuts, smoke and matches. On the palate a lot of citrus acidity, minerals, white pepper, nuts, oak and some oxidized impressions. The acidity is fresh, but quite dominating.

Beautiful and inviting bouquet with caramel, butter, pear, some smoke and oak. On the palate ginger, oak and vanilla, mild citrus, pear, soft bitterness and beautiful acidity.
White
2010 Domaine Roulot Bourgogne Blanc France, Burgundy, Bourgogne Blanc
91 points
In the bouquet chalky minerals, butter, straw and flint stone. On the palate green apples, citrus, peach, minerals, good acidity and bitterness. Luxurious and subtle wine with some toast and a great length. Beautiful wine.
Red
2010 Domaine Matrot Blagny 1er Cru La Pièce-sous-le-Bois Rouge France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Blagny 1er Cru
91 points
Beautiful bouquet which is still a bit lactic with red berries and also a bit rustic. On the palate cherries and raspberries, some minerals like iron, good and juicy acidity, some pleasant bitterness and the tannin still has a friendly bite. Young maturity stage now.
Red
2010 Domaine de Courcel Pommard 1er Cru Grand Clos des Épenots France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard 1er Cru
92 points
In the bouquet some rustic flavors. The fruits are still primary; cherries, raspberries and blackberries. On the palate the wine is still a bit locked, but showing cherries, herbs, earth and tobacco. Firm acidity and slightly green, sticky tannin with a good bite. Complex, full bodied and classical wine which needs more ageing. Another 5 years is probably wise. 92+ for now.
Red
2010 Domaine Denis Bachelet Côte de Nuits Villages France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Nuits Villages
92 points
Beautiful bouquet with fresh fruits like cherries and unripe raspberries, some green and rustic impressions as well. Also some smoke. On the palate a juicy wine with firm acidity and tannin. Green impressions, a good body and well dosed oak. Needs more time in the bottle. Until 2024+? For now 91 - 92+
Red
2010 Domaine Denis Bachelet Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin
92 points
Beautiful bouquet with fruits like cherries and raspberries. Becomes more and more beautiful while in the glass. On the palate still primary and youthful. A bit lactic even. Beautiful acidity, some sweet licorice, smoke and tannin with a soft bite. Beautiful, harmonious and still youthful wine which is a great pleasure already, but also holds a promise for the future. 91 – 93

Beautiful and rustic bouquet with red berries, toast and smoke. On the palate vanilla, smoke, graphite, juicy red berries, nutmeg and flint stone. Good acidity, slightly sticky tannin and a good length. Beautiful wine which is not showing yet what it really has in store. Waiting another 5+ years is probably a wise thing to do. 91 – 93+
