Excellent freshness and minerality despite the warmer vintage. Well-balanced, focused citrus fruit, was in the minority who preferred this over the Michelot.

Textbook rich, buttery Meursault that was a little too fat and creamy for me, but was a crowd favourite among others. Very tropical fruit.

Earthy, rugged dark red fruit that was a little tired. Guessed early '90s Gevrey.

From magnum. I sequenced this together with the Monthelie because I thought they tasted similar, turned out they were from the same producer. Autumnal, cool dark red fruit with dusty tannins; felt it had more life than the '98 Monthelie so went for '00 Volnay.

Got this right as a '06 Gevrey. Rustic, old-school style with firm tannins, some savoury bacon, forest floor notes and autumnal cherry fruit.

Quite dark and rich with blue fruit so guessed MSD for this, but thought it was from a cooler year like '07. Not the most refined Vosne.

Seemed a little cooked to me, not as fresh and energetic as I would expect from a new Faiveley GC. Tasted like a wine from the late '90s with slightly pruney fruit.

My contribution. Signature Laurent toasty oak on the nose, chewy tannins but with attractive maraschino cherry fruit. Fresh and structured that most guesses were in the early '10s.

My extra. Thought this would have been an easy guess as '05, a tannic monster of a wine that wasn't very giving. Unintegrated oak on the nose, some plummy fruit on the palate. Built like a Bordeaux and I am not sure if this wine will ever come around.

Perfumed, spice-laden nose with a silky, sensual texture that most including myself were in Vosne. Some blood iron notes emerged with air so I thought feminine Gevrey from a great vintage like '10. Superb balance and by far the most complete wine on the night.

A brooding wine with some rustic and rough tannins. Olives, liquorice notes that made this a rather masculine brute of a wine that didn't give much pleasure. Guessed 2012 Volnay.
