Flight 1 (72 notes)

White
2022 Domaine Séguinot-Bordet Chablis France, Burgundy, Chablis
86 points
Walkaround tasting with the producers. Delicately floral, fun already now, light on palate, well balanced.
White
2022 Domaine Séguinot-Bordet Chablis Vieilles Vignes France, Burgundy, Chablis
87 points
Walkaround tasting with the producers. Similar profile to the regular cuvee with more intensity and depth.
White
2022 Domaine Séguinot-Bordet Chablis 1er Cru Fourchaume France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru
89 points
Walkaround tasting with the producers. Step up over the VV in richness even if less classically Chablis. Balanced and fun already now, best to enjoy on the young-ish side for 1er Cru, 2025-2030.
White
2022 Domaine Séguinot-Bordet Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru
90 points
Walkaround tasting with the producers. I preferred this over Fourchaume. It is almost as rich but brighter textured with floral notes in support of plenty of apple and lemon.
White
2022 Domaine Séguinot-Bordet Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis Grand Cru
90 points
Walkaround tasting with the producers. Also rich with good depth. Starts off on the ripe side, followed by brighter styling middle forward, 90-91 point potential.
White
2022 Domaine Séguinot-Bordet Chablis Grand Cru Vaudésir France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis Grand Cru
91 points
Walkaround tasting with the producers. Rich with classically Chablis textures, bright apple throughout with oystershell notes. Very good length, 91-92 points.
White
2022 Domaine La Croix Montjoie Bourgogne Vézelay L'Impatiente France, Burgundy, Bourgogne Vézelay

White
2022 Domaine La Croix Montjoie Bourgogne Vézelay La Voluptueuse France, Burgundy, Bourgogne Vézelay
87 points
Walkaround tasting with the producers. Rich fruit with lots of fun, but also well balanced with good length. Good now.
Red
2022 Domaine La Croix Montjoie Bourgogne France, Burgundy, Bourgogne
Walkaround tasting with the producers. Soft cherry with good enough ripeness, ok textures. Simple but tasty.
Red
2022 Domaine Heresztyn/Heresztyn-Mazzini Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin
Walkaround tasting with the producers. Nicely elegant Gevrey black fruits with good enough weight, very good balance already. So tasty already this young.
Red
2022 Domaine Heresztyn/Heresztyn-Mazzini Gevrey-Chambertin Les Jouises Vieilles Vignes France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin
90 points
Walkaround tasting with the producers. Complex combination of black and red cherry, well balanced and elegant already at this early stage, but clearly further upside form here. A very good village wine.
Red
2022 Domaine Heresztyn/Heresztyn-Mazzini Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru La Perrière France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
91 points
Walkaround tasting with the producers. Dense while balanced with intriguing backbone that both provides power and elegance. Easy now, but clearly much more in reserve.
Red
2022 Domaine Heresztyn/Heresztyn-Mazzini Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Les Millandes France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey St. Denis 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with the producers. An intense concentration, this is burly and brawny - seemingly even more "Gevrey" than the wines tasted from Gevrey. Dense and complex, even if not yet fully forthcoming, better from 2032, 91-93 points. This comes from 90 yo vines.
Red
2022 Domaine Heresztyn/Heresztyn-Mazzini Clos St. Denis France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos St. Denis Grand Cru
94 points
Walkaround tasting with the producers. 50% new oak, mostly whole cluster. Spiced red and black berries throughout, brilliantly long and balanced finish already, 93-95 points.
Red
2022 Maison Bertrand Ambroise Bourgogne Côte d'Or France, Burgundy, Bourgogne Côte d'Or
85 points
Walkaround tasting with the producers. Big for its level, maybe not as fun or balanced as you want from young Bourgogne, but good enough.
Red
2022 Maison Bertrand Ambroise Côte de Nuits Villages France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Nuits Villages
87 points
Walkaround tasting with the producers. Big step up, particularly in balance. More black than red cherry with good depth, 87-88 points.
Red
2022 Maison Bertrand Ambroise Nuits St. Georges France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges
89 points
Walkaround tasting with the producers. An old school Nuits, nearly rustic but clearly assisted by the fruit's fundamental ripeness. Good potential for village wine, but needs time, 2030-.
Red
2018 Maison Bertrand Ambroise Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Vaucrains France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with the producers. Now this is really old school, for better and worse. Big black fruit, meaty and well spiced, ey so tannic and backward. There is enough of everything to remain in slumber together for the next decade+, but it's difficult right now to assess when where. how this will emerge from that hibernation. I wouldn't touch a bottle until 2033 or later, but think there is 90+ point potential here.
Red
2020 Maison Bertrand Ambroise Corton-Le Rognet France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru
92 points
Walkaround tasting with the producers. Both ripe and lean working well together. Grand Cru density. Lots here, 92-93 points.

89 points
Walkaround tasting with the producers. Red fruits throughout, start out ripe, ending brighter. Good concentration, good length, 88-89 points.
Red
2022 Domaine Parigot Pommard Les Riottes France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard
88 points
Walkaround tasting with the producers. Dense and powerful with good weight for its level, certainly awkward today. Needs until at least 2028.
Red
2022 Domaine Parigot Pommard 1er Cru Les Charmots France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard 1er Cru
90 points
Walkaround tasting with the producers. 20% whole cluster works very nicely here, adding spice and brightness. Good balance with the stuffing to age.
Red
2022 Domaine Parigot Pommard 1er Cru Clos de la Chanière France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard 1er Cru
90 points
Walkaround tasting with the producers. Big and powerful, but nothing coarse, this is in fact nearly elegant. Not quite as interesting as Charmots just tasted, better to cellar until 2027-.
Red
2022 Domaine Parigot Pommard 1er Cru Les Épenots France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard 1er Cru
90 points
Walkaround tasting with the producers. The biggest scaled wine of the lineup, but firm for now. Power is evident, but cellar until at least 2030. 90+ points.
Red
2022 Domaine Rossignol-Février Père & Fils Bourgogne France, Burgundy, Bourgogne
Walkaround tasting with the producers. From 6 plots. Black fruits with a rustic feel. Mostly whole cluster doesn't seem to fit well here.
Red
2022 Domaine Rossignol-Février Père & Fils Beaune Les Chardonnereux France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune
Walkaround tasting with the producers. Slight reduction makes this challenging tonight, but clearly old school style with rustic textures. Ok overall.
Red
2022 Domaine Rossignol-Février Père & Fils Volnay Vieilles Vignes France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay
Walkaround tasting with the producers. from 45 yo vines. Red cherry throughout with good weight, but a slightly drying finish. Also clearly old school.
Red
2022 Domaine Rossignol-Février Père & Fils Volnay Clos de la Cave France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay
89 points
Walkaround tasting with the producers. Very good weight and concentration for Volnay Village. Also very school, but easily more balanced than any of the earlier wines in the lineup.
Red
2022 Domaine Rossignol-Février Père & Fils Volnay 1er Cru Carelle Sous la Chapelle France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru
88 points
Walkaround tasting with the producers. Very big, lots of fruit and structure, not quite harmonious yet. Very Volnay profile
Red
2022 Domaine Rossignol-Février Père & Fils Volnay 1er Cru Les Robardelles France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru
90 points
Walkaround tasting with the producers. Vineyard re-planted in 1920, with 1/2 the vines still over a century old. There is a firmness and intensity here that harkens back to Burgundy of yore. Lots here, even if not the most elegant example of Volnay, 89-91 points.

Red
2022 Pierrick Bouley Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chênes France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru
93 points
Walkaround tasting with the producers. Both charming and powerful, this has so much ripe red fruit + savory spice fully in sync with its structure. Lots here, 92-94 points, this will drink well young and probably even better a few decades from now.
Red
2022 Christophe Buisson Saint-Romain France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Saint-Romain
