Meursault like nose, buttery, nutty, citrus, hints of gunflint. Citric taste, sweet, fresh, acidic but balanced. Nose is very lovely, taste can develop further, but drinks already very fine. Long finish. This is an impressive wine, I did not know that Aligote could have this potential.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
Soft citrus nose with marzupan and liquorice root. Taste delicate, many different flavours hard to name, some pear and pineapple, slight oxidative tones. Very long finish, clear and straight.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
Nose of black fruit and cassis with Gevrey earthy tones. Taste full bodied, again dark fruit. I forgot to make further notes but the overall impression was a very good 1er cru drinking fine now, but capable of getting beter in the future.

2001 Domaine René Engel Clos Vougeot 92 Points

Similar notes as on 2-3-12. Took a bit longer to open, especially the last glass was very smooth and fine.
