Maturing colour with browning on the rim. Dark fruit with significant oak component but in balance. Integrated tannins; concentrated and long. Very modernist in appearance, yet I enjoyed.

2012 Thierry Violot-Guillemard Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens

Consumed over two days and much better on second day. On opening the first day (pop and pour), the wine has plenty of red fruit and a pungent acidity. It is slightly dishevelled. On palate, there is lovely sweet and concentrated red fruit with plenty of iron and savouriness. It needs plenty of air to achieve integration. This is always made in a slightly oxidative style and tends to be approachable reasonably early (but can last a long time as proven by a 1967 bottle a few years ago). On the second day, that pungent acidity has integrated given the wine a clear and persistent frame. There's plenty of weight on fruit and the terroir comes across more clearly. Decanting highly recommended.

2013 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis 1er Cru Séchet

Served at 12 degrees celsius. Brilliant colour: lightest touch of hay and green hue. Immediately expressive with white and yellow florals (acacia and lemon-tree blossom), citric lift and precision and with a charming sweetness which continues on palate. Well-balanced in the mouth with framing acidity which gives the wine length and precision in addition to delicious lemon, there is yellow orchard fruit and a touch of nuttiness. The texture of the wine shows some honeyed character. It is showing the first subtle signs of secondary developments. It has balance and elegance. No hurry but the wine delivers already enormous pleasure.
