  • 2003 Coche-Dury Meursault 1er Cru Caillerets 94 Points

    lots of toasty oak, oily, buttery, nice balanced minerals, really round and smooth on the palate. very upfront, classic Coche

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru

    Very tight initially, especially after the open-knit Caillerets. But after some aeration revealed the classic intense nose of toasted minerals. Concentrated, structured and complex. Very satisfying wine, although I'd probably give it a couple more years in the cellar.

Flight 2 (3 Notes)

  • 1990 Henri Jayer Vosne-Romanée 94 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée

    Young and vibrant with notes of sweet spice and dark berries. Easily the best village wine I've had. Really lovely wine and admittedly my score might have been slightly biased given it's our first red burgundy wine after a 13-hr flight and 4-hr drive!

  • 1993 Henri Jayer Echezeaux 93 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru

    Lovely spiced nose with notes of sweet earth and smoke. Dense, powerful and still tannic. Will probably improve further with time.

  • 1988 Henri Jayer Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Cros Parantoux 94 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru

    A wonderful wine to round off a sensational line-up. Intense wine but more open and floral than the Echezeaux. This will go on for another few decades with ease.
