Notes I found from a trip a few years ago centered around the Grands Jours.
(3/22/2006)
Tasting at winery. Riper almost tropical fruit on nose, then more lean flavors of tart Granny Smith apple and pear on the palate.

Tasting at winery. Spice and ripe fruit on nose. Comes across a little spicier and fleshier than the Boudriotte just tasted. Finishes with good fruit energized with good minerality and acidity.

Tasting at winery. Spice and tart fruit on nose, followed by green apple and pear flavors. More acid than fruit for me today, but more experienced tasters thought this wine showing the best potential of the Fontaine-Gagnard1er lineup here today.

Tasting at winery. Aromas of ripe apple, perhaps even a note of candied apple. Flavors of apple and pear with really uplifting minerality. Exceptional mouth feel and textures, this has a long, clean spicy finish. I found this really impressive.

Tasting at winery. Aromas and flavors of apple and pear, perhaps a bit of lemon custard near the end. Richer and fatter than the Criots-Batard-Montrachet just tasted, but not quite as long, spicy and mineral-driven for me today.

Nose and palate of pears, apples, lemon and lemon zest come and go while tasting this sensational wine. Slightly floral, but mostly in background. Minerals and acidity help give this incredible texture, complexity and length.

My first time at Lameloise. Dinner was sensational. Well deserving to get their third Michelin star back.
(3/22/2006)
Quite seriously oxidized. Sommelier says this was consistent with several other bottles he had opened in the recent past, although the Batard has held up better.

Popped, decanted and poured as a replacement for a different oxidized Grand Cru. Opened with massive oak and toast, somewhat harsh even while showing opulent fruit. After 30 minutes the wine was much more accessible and balance. Flavors were mostly apple and pear without any tropical fruit elements that too often appear with some a rich wine. Still incredibly rich and fat, this kept getting better and better in glass for hours, until none was left. As a long term cellar selection, this was the best CC I have ever had the good fortune to try.

Dark black color. Similarly dark black fruit and exotic spice on the nose. Opulent flavors from the get-go, this has tons of black cherry and currant with plenty of espresso and cocoa elements on the finish. Dynamic spicy finish. Oak is completely integrated already, this wine shows great balance in its current (very primary) structure, and I expect will become even more amazing with time as it adds some more subtle nuance and complexity. My first ever Meo Richebourg to have a full bottle with a meal (vs. quickly tasting at a wine event).

Tasting, brief note. Comes across as very firm throughout, which I didn't enjoy with the level of fruit and slightly green notes.

Tasting, brief note. Starts with more robust fruit vs most for the vintage. Overall good balance and textures, but also showing that faint bitter hint on the finish.

Tasting, brief note. Floral aromatic start is classically Volnay. Don't like the palate as much, this is firm and slightly hard on finish. Perhaps better with bottle age, but the fruit concentration is below average.

Tasting, brief note. Also attractive aromas to start with spice, floral and red fruit, but less appealing flavors and structure too firm for the long-term fruit quality.

Tasting, brief note. Lighter style for the vintage with slightly more black fruit than typical Volnay. Moderate density, but a very firm finish that will require lots of time for a Villages.

Tasting, brief note. Intense aromatic start with ripe black cherry and spice galore. Dense and chewy start, firm middle to finish. Needs another decade+ and will last for decades. I liked this much vs when tasted in the US a few months ago. 92-93 point potential.

With my wonderful new friends from Maison Champy.
(3/23/2006)
More floral than anything else on nose. Orchard fruit with herbs and spices on palate, charming and delicate, probably not a Laguiche Montrachet to stock away in the back of the cellar for decades.

Black fruit on nose with lots of earthy elements. Palate also more secondary than primary with distant spice in the background. Good length, good finish shows the wine's softer side.

Lots of ripe, fruit-forward black cherry and kirsch on nose, then same ripe black cherry on the palate. To me, this comes across as a bit simple and more "fun" than "interesting" but perhaps this just needs some time and patience.

Starts with amazing spice showing licorice, allspice, clove and cinnamon, with red and black cherry aromas and some pine forest smells. Nose is just completely alluring...almost transfixing you to the glass. Big and bold cherry flavors with the same amazing spice combination. While there is a considerable amount of tannin here, you almost have to seek it out to realize it is there. Everything is already in such incredibly balance and harmony that it is almost impossible to see how this wine will get better as it develops more nuance and complexity in the coming decades.

Perhaps it is criminal to open this wine so young, but it wasn't my decision, so blame the guys from Maison Champy. Actually thannk them because this was simply gorgeous once it had a few minutes of air. Black fruit with amazing spice on the nose. black cherry and boysenberry flavors, also accompanied by heart spice and some aspects of roasted meat. This is amazingly accessible today but has the stuffing and structure to keep improving for decades to come.

Tasting, brief note. Black fruit with good spice, new oak nicely integrated. Moderate depth, but enough of every good element here. Probably also best for medium-term with its moderate concentration, 2010- 2016 or 2018?
