At a dinner full of great burgundies, the Musigny flight stood out way above the others, which included a flight of Dujac Clos de la Roche and and a flight of Vosne Malconsorts. The Musigny flight included the 93 and 99 Jadot, the 02 Drouhin and the 02 Vougeraie. These were all terrific and easily deserving of the grand cru title. If not at quite the level of the best bottles from the likes of Mugnier and Roumier, these four wines were all fabulous and priced slightly below the stratosphere. What was impressive were the similarities between the four wines. The terroir really stood out and was unmistakable. Of these, the 93 Jadot was the most developed and possibly the most impressive, showing more secondary flavors of musk and fur and mushroom and cinnamon. The Vougeraie was delicious and the most elegant of the bunch with a slightly more linear quality but still unmistakably Musigny. The 99 Jadot and 02 Drouhin were both delicious and impressive if not quite at the level of the other two. Overall, it was a treat for those in attendance to have four such terrific wines, all showing well (don't ask me about the corked 02 Vogue Mus) and all representative of this outstanding vineyard.

La Paulée Zachy's Auction Friday (Le Bernardin Privé): Served blind. Lots of black cherry and Vosne-like spice. Round and velvety with GC concentration. Guessing Vosne grand cru. A delicious and well-made wine, but shows more producer than place.

Zachy's La Paulee 2019 (Le Bernardin Prive): Decently made; not as complex as the terroir should be but most primary notes are in place. 93

Some Wine Tasted at the Zachys La Paulée Auction; 3/7/2019-3/8/2019 (Le Bernardin Prive - New York NY): Small glass, brief note. Tasted blind, I thought RSV from 1999. Rich, spicy with so much red fruit and definite Grand Cru density.
