Mouchonnat Annual Off-Tasting - Grands Jours de Bourgogne (Beaune): Walk around tasting. In barrel. Big, rich, and spiced, but well balanced for medium-term pleasure. Slightly lacking energy, but the density almost compensates. 20% whole cluster, 40% new oak. From two parcels in Treux and Les Rouges de Bas. I liked this more today vs the other day, when it seemed warmer and less bright. Drink from 2026.

Vosne Millésime - Noblesse des Clos Vougeot - Les Grands Jours de Bourgogne (Château du Clos de Vougeot): Walk around tasting. Very spiced and very ripe, I'm guessing harvested later than ideal. But there is so much dry extract here and fruit manages to retain freshness, even with its hint of sweet candy. 92-93 points, 2028 forward.
