La Paulée de New York Grand Tasting

Once again I didn't have time to taste through all the wine, but I did the best I could. I started (mostly) with the red wines, and finished (mostly) with the whites, hence have a better representation of red wines in my notes vs. white. Notes are in the sequence of the tasting guide provided, not the sequence the wines were tasted.

• 2010 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Petit Chablis

  France, Burgundy, Chablis, Petit Chablis

  Tasting. Some toasted walnut and almond aromas with ripe apple aromas and background tropical hints. Palate more restrained with very good balance and very well textured for its level. Very impressive for its level, 88-89 points.

• 2010 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis 1er Cru La Forest

  France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru

  Tasting. Floral start, fruit not very aromatically forthcoming today with subtle spice hints. Somewhat firm and backward on palate, lots of potential coming through on finish but this is a Forest that will need plenty of quiet time in the cellar.

• 2010 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis Grand Cru Les Preuses

  France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis Grand Cru

  Tasting. Apple, pear, candied ginger, summer flower aromas with great intensity and background tropical hints. Long and powerful flavors with great intensity, then lots of energy and textures on finish. Bigger than Clos, less subtle.

• 2010 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis Grand Cru Les Clos

  France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis Grand Cru

  Tasting. Lemon and apple aromas with some spice. Similar on palate, quite subtle to start, then explosive middle to finish. Very nuanced and charming, this is less powerful than the Preuses. I hope to try them again side-by-side in another 5-10 years.

  France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis Grand Cru

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru

  Tasting. All black fruit aromas with faint spice hints. Just moderately forthcoming on nose, very dense and meaty on palate. Firm and masculine, also somewhat backward on palate, particular towards the end. It's what to expect from young Corton with seriously good potential.

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru

  Tasting. Lots of red fruit with moderate spice and fair amount of early-to-emerge earthy notes. Very firm on palate with moderate density. Tough to really enjoy right now, I'd expect this needs at least 5 years in the cellar, more likely 10+.

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru

  Tasting. Ripe red and black fruit aromas, flavors. Very good overall for its level and an impressive value wine. Charming now but with enough firmness and structure to improve over the next few years, then be tasty into the next decade.

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru

  Tasting. Black and red cherry aromas with gamy elements, sauteed mushroom, cocoa and fresh herbs. Densely packed fruit on palate at first came across as more like many 2009s than 2010s, but more finesse and textural elements subtly emerge from middle to end. Give this time.

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru

  Tasting. A big step up to me from the Bousselots and Roncieres just tasted. Strong spice and floral complements to the dark black fruit aromas. Also dense and firm, but well textured and mineral-driven, so there is simply enough of everything for the to become a sensational wine, probably around 2020.

• 2010 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Vaucrains

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru

  Tasting. An interesting contrast to the Cailles just tasted. This was more dense, more concentrated and more brooding. Lots of power with good spice to complement the great fruit, but just so much structure that I can't imagine this really being pleasurable or charming until at least 2025, perhaps later.

Same fruit profile on palate, lots of power and concentration, in fact more so than the Echezeaux just tasted; however I slightly preferred the spice/fruit profile of the Echezeaux.

• 2010 Domaine Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques Vieille Vigne

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru

  Tasting. Black fruit aromas, slightly floral with lots of meaty spice and fresh herbs. Already very charming. Long and well textured from start-to-finish with great balance, energy and minerality. Great at basically every level, this is certainly at the 94-95 point level.

• 2010 Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Chambolle-Musigny

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny

  Tasting. Red and black cherry aromas, more red chery on palate. Big spice component on both. This is picking up weight vs. when tasted one year ago in Burgundy. A really sensational Villages wine, that I'd easily have thought 1er based on density if tasted blind.

• 2010 Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru

  Tasting. Great spice driven start with strawberry and red cherry aromas, some floral background notes. Same fruit and slightly sweet spice flavors, this is very long, lean and precise with an incredibly extended finish. Certainly 93-94 point potential.

• 2010 Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Clos de La Bussière

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey St. Denis 1er Cru

  Tasting. Meaty and dense with slightly more black than red fruit. Good textures at start through middle, then seemingly a little backward on finish. Needs plenty of cellar time. I'm glad we tasted this after the more lacy, textured Chambolle Cras.

• 2010 Christophe Roumier Ruchottes-Chambertin

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru

  Tasting. Cross section of red and black fruit, with black cherry most prominent. Lots of power and concentration from start-to-finish with spice mostly coming through middle-to-end. Very good density and length. Really wonderful wine, one slight step up from the sensational Chambolle-Musigny Cras also just tasted.

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny

  Tasting. Soft and charming red fruit. Good red cherry flavors, very nice textures with good Chambolle-styled iron minerality. On the simpler side, but very good at its level.

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey St. Denis

  Tasting. Larger scaled the the negociant Chambolle-Musigny just tasted, also more spicy. Black and red fruit, very good density for Villages level. Also quite long for its level. 90 points today.

• 2010 Domaine Dujac Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux Combottes

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru

  Tasting. Starts with robust black fruit, modest spice, lots of meaty Gevrey character, slightly backward right now. Palate is somewhat more intriguing, with that same dense black fruit, but very nuanced, energetic textures. Good spice middle to finish. A very impressive vintage for this wine.

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru

  Tasting. Great sweet spice start with lots of red and black fruit, all well supported with charming floral elements throughout. Lots of power and stuffing but with textures and energy that make this very fresh and exciting through long, long finish. 95-96 point wine to me today.

• 2010 Domaine Trapet Latricières-Chambertin

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru

  Tasting. Incredibly substantive black fruit aromas with a powerful meaty character. This is very firm, very concentrated. While it will need plenty of time in the cellar, this wine has amazing raw materials and great potential a decade+ away.
