  February 15, 2023 - 2009 Jean Michel Guillon Gevrey Chambertin Champonnets
  
  Cellared since release
  Burgundy lunch February 15, 2023
  Opened and let sit in bottle for 30 minutes, not decanted.
  Purple core with some browning at rim.
  Complex, enjoyable, and effusive bouquet of dark fruit, earth and sous bois.
  The mouth revealed rich red and black fruit, with great balance, depth and complexity. The tannins were integrated, and appreciable mid palate stimulation was followed by a 15 second finish. The wine stareted out really good and evolved tremendously over the next 3 hours. You were definitely drinking what you smelled in the glass.
  It was the wine of the tasting which featured three Grand Cru GC (including a Rousseau). A great wine from a very consistent "under the radar" Burgundy producer.
  
  95 points.

  January 10, 2021 - Elegant wine and drinking beautifully right now. Dark red in color with faint fading at edges. Lush cherry nose. Deeply textured fruit, cherry, strawberry, bit of sharp spice. Fine tannins, good acidity, fabulous balance. Velvety and smooth across the palate. Even brief air makes it more elegant. Finishes soft and lovely. Drink now and for at least another 5 years.

  December 13, 2019 - Absolutely outstanding though needs decanting and about an hour of air. I wouldn’t say infanticide but this bottle though drinking well could go another 10-15 without losing anything. Right now after some air forest floor earth and tasty red fruit. Long finish perfect with a medium rare rib eye.
