  • 1996 La Pousse d'Or Volnay 1er Cru Clos des 60 Ouvrées 91 Points

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

    Agreeing with Paul , this wine was back on form or rather the bottle is as close in quality as the first one tried. Beautiful florals accented by lots of barnyardish notes , like a little pony. The earth and truffles and dry leave compost was really pronounced withouth being uncomforting. Still, lovely cherry strawberry fruits with a touch of stewedness showed. Gentle as the fruits were, the structure of this wine reminded of a Nuit rather than a beaune. Lenghty and smooth with a beckoning finish.

  • 1996 Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Fuées 83 Points

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

    Really tight still with mostly primary fresh slightly polished dark cherry fruits . Hints of flowers but if not this was more NSG / gevrey with its spiciness and dried earth , and slightly meaty character. On the palate, fresh and a touch of extract though somehow fruits seemed kinda diluted. Nearing the end, the wine picked uip pace and was more generous .
