Introduction
Wonderful lineup of wines and I was amazed at how well the 09s were showing. Most will improve which is scary how good they will be in time. Thanks to Brad and Kevin for putting this together.

2004 Domaine Darviot-Perrin Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Blanchots Dessus 88 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru
The nose was a little muted and slight oxidation issues. Chalk, grapefruit and hint of lemon. Short to medium finish and lacks the richness of the other two bottles.

2004 Domaine / Maison Vincent Girardin Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Le Cailleret 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru
Drinking really well right now and a rich wine. Good concentration on the palate featuring shells, orange peel, spice and minerals. Complex medium to long finish and a balanced wine. Drink now or enjoy over the next three years.

2009 Domaine Henri Gouges Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Clos des Porrets St. Georges 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru
Wonderful start to the reds with rose petals, spice, smoke, cherry and chalk. The wine was balanced and drinking well right now however should be cellared for five plus years. I could see this wine improving a few points and a good value overall.

2009 Domaine / Maison Vincent Girardin Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
More fruit forward wine with strawberry, cherry and cranberry. Also add in spices and minerals on the palate. The wine was one of the more tannic wines tonight but was very refreshing. Cellar five plus years.

2009 Thibault Liger-Belair Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Saint Georges 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru
Should improve with age and my wine of the night! Complex with earth, ripe fruit, coffee and spices. The perfect "funk" quality on the nose that makes you realize how good Burgundy can be. Long finish and tannic and should age nicely for 30 years. 94-96.

2009 Domaine / Maison Vincent Girardin Charmes-Chambertin 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru
Really a great bottle and showing well right now. Mushrooms, funk, strawberry, spices and floral notes. Complex and pack with flavor and finishes with over 45 seconds. Should benefit with some cellar time.

2009 La Pousse d'Or Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Bousse d'Or 90 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru
Certainly not a Parker 96 or will ever reach that mark. Lots of heat on this one along with sweet fruit: cherry, raspberries and strawberries. While the heat settle down some I don't see enough complexity here and the wine finishes with too much spice. Not balanced at the moment. Give it some time. 90-92.

2009 La Pousse d'Or Volnay 1er Cru Clos des 60 Ouvrées 90 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru
Another tight La Pousse wine with cedar, dust, blueberries and minerals. Quite tannic at this stage of the game. Medium finish with nice minerality. Time will tell. 90-92.

2009 Domaine / Maison Vincent Girardin Corton-Renardes 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru
Minerals, cranberry, floral and spice. Tannic but shows quite a bit right now. Nice use of oak and complex on the palate/finish. Medium in length. Drink over the next 20 years.

2009 Thibault Liger-Belair Clos Vougeot 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Interesting wine but tasty. Orange peel, oak, cherry and earth. Nice minerality on the palate and good acidity. An age worthy wine with a medium to long finish. Should improve over time. 93-95.

2006 Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg Vosne-Romanée
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée
After looking at all the Cellar Tracker scores on this wine it might have benefitted from some decanting. I will have to try it again as I got floral, dust and earth and found it quite bitter. Reserved judgement for now.
