France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru
Slowly coming to game.Still a bit austere as to be expected from a ruchottes.Tight mineral and stony. Not a lot of fruit but a wine of great character and one to look to buy. Could use another 5yrs
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru
Open and expressive. Some vanilla and spice. Oaky.Concentrated, fruit forward and rich. Can be enjoyed now and maybe a bit too fwd. Nice and easy to drink
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
More nose than palate at this stage. Concentraded and open nose. Strong and reserved, austere and very characteristic of the difficult combottes vineyard.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
Tight and reserved, not very generous yet a wine of great character and feels proper. A bit of fruit emerging but still very young. A sleeper but def one to look fwd to. 10-15yrs?
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru
Expected this to be a wall of austerity, but far from it. open on the nose with nice red fruits. Still youthfull of course but very fleshy and with lots of structure and not a lot of oak. A nice surprise this early on and can be enjoyed now but definitely save a few for the future.

Of course very young. Very vibrant and almost jumps out of the glass. Lots of acidity. See you in a few yrs.

A bit past its prime and dry. Savoury on the palate. Nose is open and big but with some harsh elements. Past its glory days unfortunately
