2002 Alain Hudelot-Noëllat Clos Vougeot
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Gorgeous. Quite expressive; vibrant nose. Penetrating fruit leaning more towards the red side of the spectrum. Good acidity. A stand-out. $99 full retail.

2002 Domaine Robert Jayer-Gilles Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits
France, Burgundy, Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits
$30 retail, after discount. Showed really well as a ringer in a Grand Cru line up... Black fruit, tar, tobacco. Thick, earthy. Excellent.

2002 Daniel Bocquenet Echezeaux
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
$80 full retail. A bit muted. Some herbal notes; black fruit; spice; minty. Not showing very well in this line up of '02s... Hmmm.

2002 Domaine des Lambrays Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Les Loups
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru
No formal note. Did not show very well in a line up of Grands Crus... Lightest wine in the flight.

2002 Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Chambolle-Musigny
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny
Did not show well today - perhaps an off bottle? There was prominent horse aroma that was not too flattering for the wine... I'll assume this was an off bottle...

2002 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru
$60 retail, after discount. Excellent. Dark cherry fruit; cola. Good acid / tannin structure. A stand-out.

2002 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Chaignots
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru
$60 retail, after discount. Very nice. Nice balance and mouth feel. Bright red / black cherry fruit. Currently showing more fruit than Chevillon's '02 Pruliers, which is a little tighter, but probably has better long term potential...

2002 Louis Jadot Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Estournelles-St.-Jacques
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru

2002 Domaine Bertagna Vougeot 1er Cru Clos de la Perrière
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vougeot 1er Cru
Nice. Dark fruit. A bit tight on the nose. Meaty. Moderately oaky, but I think it will integrate fairly well with time in the bottle...

2002 Domaine de Montille Pommard 1er Cru Les Pèzerolles
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard 1er Cru
The texture was more elegant / suave than I would have expected. In fact, single blind, I though this was the '02 de Montille Volnay Taillepieds for sure... Bright red fruit; subtle spices. Lush. More open than the Volnay Taillepieds, but still quite primary and begging for some time in the bottle...

2002 Domaine de Montille Volnay 1er Cru Taillepieds
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru
Tasted next to the Pommard Pezerolles '02 in a line up of '02 red Burgs... Surprisingly, the Pezerolles was much more open / expressive right now (see TN). The Taillepieds was tighter on the nose and showed more tannin / acid than the Pommard. Med bodied; red fruit. This one really needs to settle in, and I am optimistic about its potential...

2002 Domaine du Château de Chorey (Germain) Beaune 1er Cru Cuvée Tante Berthe
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru
$90 retail, after discount. HUGE wine. Big, black fruit; coffee; cola; cocoa; oak. This is a monster of a wine that will be a source of great debate among Burgundy drinkers (it was today...). Not what you would expect, that's for sure. This drinks almost like a super extracted new world Pinot, but it seems to have decent underlying structure... I will be interested to see what happens to this wine in time...

2002 Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru
Did not show well tonight. A bit raisiny. Fruit not as fresh as it might have been. Not a good showing...

2002 Domaine Jean Garaudet Pommard Les Noizons
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard
$35 full retail. Impressive. Big, juicy, blackish fruit on the nose. A little spice. A bit primary at present, but still showed very well in an '02 line up today. Solid value, with good med term cellaring potential. A nice surprise.

2002 Henri Prudhon & Fils Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Rouges-Gorges
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Saint-Aubin 1er Cru
$34 full retail. Very nice. Ripe red / raspberry fruit. Good balance. Nice high notes. Good value.

2002 La Pousse d'Or Santenay 1er Cru Gravières
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Santenay 1er Cru
$40 full retail. A little oak on the nose. Spice. Dark fruit. Good acidity. Fairly serious wine. Showed very well in today's '02 line up... Good value, overall.

2002 Louis Chenu Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Lavières
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru
High pitched red fruit. Fairly light. Seemed to fall apart with air. Did not show very well in a line up of '02s today...

2002 Albert Morot Beaune 1er Cru Bressandes
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru
$35 retail. Oaky. Coffee. Black fruit. Not my style. Some thought it was a new world ringer in a line up of '02 Burgs. Definately stood out as very different, stylistically.
