A pristine bottle from Thatcher Wines. This is such pure, elegant, energetic, floral, sappy pinot noir. Classic Chambolle. Definitely showing prominent sap / pine tar, but not at all off-putting or over-bearing. It is for sure not too 2004. If someone handed you a glass and told you it was ‘07 or ‘10, most Burg lovers would love it. Great stuff, especially for the vintage.

My initial experience with the ‘10 Corton Charlie was exactly as DRDAN8 describes, but I corked it and left in the fridge and the next evening it was a very different wine. A grey-ish pale yellow color the first evening turned to bright gold, and a limpid nose and palate the first evening came alive with energy, verve, minerality, fruit and orchid flowers the following evening. Interesting.

JJCT, I think, is spot on and it explains some of the other reactions. I love G-B but this one is a monster of a wine, especially for Chambolle. Dark, brooding earthy and very structured and astringent. Almost Piemontese in character. Needs another 10-20 years and hopefully the fruit will hang around. My bet is yes, but this is too young to drink now, in any event. 2030+

I’ve been looking through your cellar on Cellar Tracker and noticed you have some fantastic wines, including François Raveneau Chablis Grand Cru Valmur - have you considered joining Antica Terra’s Collective?
We offer hard-to-find wines to exclusive members, curating rare bottles for sophisticated buyers. The enrollment window is about to open for a limited number of new members - I think you would be a great fit, so I wanted to tell you more.
Here’s how it works; our founder and winemaker, Maggie, selects a bottle for you each month and twice a year you’ll receive 6 or 12 bottles delivered to your door with the option of a selection of sparkling, white, rosé and red wines, or a selection of exclusively red wines.
A few treasures tucked into the founding members’ spring boxes include a 2011 Marguet Pere & Fils 'Sapience' Premier Cru, Extra-Brut, Champagne, and a 2002 Nikolaihof Vinothek Riesling, Wachau.
If this is of interest to you, shall we set up a time to discuss? Or happy for you to email me directly at daniel@anticaterra.com
Best,
Daniel (Antica Terra)
