Salon Ficofi Paris walkabout tasting and dinner, no detailed tasting notes. From Jero. I really liked this, very showy, with flinty and pop corn elements, rich and fresh.

Very beautiful and complex bouquet with butter, stone fruits and a light dose of fireworks. On the palate expressive with beautiful fruits, very tasty, beautiful acidity, minerals, a very small touch of sweetness, well dosed oak and a great length. Extremely beautiful and complex wine. 95+

Kleur: Medium strogeel Aroma / bouquet: Halfgesloten maar aangenaam aroma met subtiele indrukken van citrus, peer, tropisch fruit, verfijnd hout. Smaak / Afdronk: Geweldig mooie, verfijnde, harmonieuze en complexe Corton-Charlemagne. Zacht frisse zuurgraad, sappig, een romig mondgevoel, dik-sappig en geconcentreerd. een prettig bittertje vat-tannines, een bescheiden hint van gekookte kool als gevolg van een beperkte batonnage. Lange afdronk. Algemeen / potentieel: 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Smaak / Afdronk: 18 + Algemeen / potentieel: 9 = 94/100
Colour: Medium straw yellow Aroma / bouquet: Semi-closed but pleasant aroma with subtle impressions of citrus, pear, tropical fruit, refined wood.

Soft fresh acidity, juicy, a creamy mouthfeel, thick juicy and concentrated. a pleasantly bitter barrel tannins, a modest hint of cooked cabbage due to limited batonnage. Long aftertaste.

Light to medium yellow. So this wine is famous? One sniff and you will know why.. lemon, lees, kiss of oak. Palalte is exciting, steely, lemony, deep without much weight

Informal dinner, no detailed notes. Good freshness with a very well integrated acidity, very mineralic, with citrus and yellow fruit. But overall not highly complex. Very harmonious and round and it‘s open for business. Overall quite a good wine but without exceptionalism. Maybe the complexity will increase with more age and push the wine into higher spheres.

Bonneau du Martray CC 2016. Hvit i frukten med nydelig parfyme og mye kritt/kalk. En liten røykaktig tone. Trenger masse luft for å skinne. Elegant munnfølelse, stor konsentrasjon, men likevel ganske lettbeint intensitet her. Fresh. Mangler noe av pondusen til 15, men ikke noe kimse av det her - tar det igjen på elegansen. Meget lekker. Sitter utrolig lenge med fantastisk mineralitet. 94p

Great wine. Decanted for ~45 minutes prior to serving. Excellently balanced wine with good concentration. Can live for decades more, but is exciting to drink now too.

My first go with this vintage. As approachable as the 2015, and a touch higher quality overall. These two vintages (15 & 16) will be nice to drink young while the 2014's hibernate.

Needed one hour of decanting before it started to open up. Very subtle and detailed style with lovely perfume. Lemon oil, green apples, almond blossom, fresh herbs, chalk dust and a whiff of wood.
Very fresh and sleek on the palate and at the same time really intensive. Crunchy green fruit, stony minerality, shredded almonds, white flowers and toasted nuts. The finish lingers on your palate for a good while.
First time I taste this wine at such an early stage and it is still very tight knit and needs several years to really show off it's full potential. But it is indeed damn tasty already.

Clear light straw color. Peaches and tropical fruit on the nose. Refreshing acidity to the wine that made it a pleasure to drink. Lots of stone fruit and tropical overtones. Had for thanksgiving dinner with the 1991 vintage for an interesting comparison. This wine is really good now but if the 1991 vintage is an indicator, it'll be better in 10 years or so.

First bottle was premox.
Second was very young, even a tiny bit frizzante. With some weight will develop well. Try three years.

Intense aromas of pear, pineapple, citrus zest, brioche, pepper. Dense and concentrate, intense. Serious acidity, saline minerality, long. Young.

Very good, finesse all around and subtile minerality. It will take a couple of years to really shine...

Ficofi tasting- I do not get the hype of the other tastes. While it retained good acidity for a 2016, the wine was fizzy. A bit awkward tonight.

Stellar white burg. CT notes say this is still young, but it was showing beautifully for me.
