Tasted Tuesday, March 20, 2012 by Burgundy Al with 1,057 views

Introduction

We arrived after lunch and quite a few of the top wines were already finished, so this was not as comprehensive as the tasting for Vosne-Romanee.

Flight 1 - Domaine Arlaud (3 Notes)

  • 2010 Domaine Arlaud Morey-Saint-Denis

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey-Saint-Denis

    Wine tasting. Big and powerful for vintage, both in terms of fruit aromas and structure on palate. Somewhat bulky for the vintage.

  • 2010 Domaine Arlaud Chambolle-Musigny

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny

    Wine tasting. To me, this was a big step up from the MSD. Lots of red fruit on nose and palate. Lacy, textured, nicely balanced and very elegant. Worth seeking out for its level.

  • 2010 Domaine Arlaud Bonnes Mares

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru

    Wine tasting. Lots of black cherry and blackberry aromas with background spice. Same fruit on palate with some hints of blueberry, then enchanting spice on finish. Big and elegant structure provides great support. An impressive Grand Cru.

Flight 4 - Domaine Dujac (1 Note)

  • 2010 Domaine Dujac Clos de la Roche

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru

    Wine tasting. Big spice providing very enticing start with red and black cherry aromas. Elegant start, then showing more power, density and structure towards long finish. Very impressive.

Flight 5 - Fougeray de Beauclair (3 Notes)

Flight 6 - Domaine des Lambrays (2 Notes)

  • 2009 Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru

    Wine tasting. Good combination of red and black fruit with lots of spice. Powerful fruit and tannins, nicely supported by good acidity. Evolving finish shows more delicacy and finesse. Even better than when tasted at the Domaine last spring (slightly more balanced and integrated).

  • 2011 Domaine des Lambrays Clos des Lambrays

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru

    Wine tasting. The unusual 2011 being poured at Grands Jours, this was lean and elegant. Somewhat shorter and simpler than other recent vintages of Lambrays, but this is very young. I was surprised to see it has already completed malolactic fermentation.

Flight 12 - Domaine Chantal Remy (4 Notes)

  • 2010 Domaine Louis Remy Clos de la Roche

    Wine tasting. Floral start with somewhat delicate red and black fruit. Good textures start-to-finish, assertive acids in the middle, spice emerges nicely on finish.

  • 2009 Domaine Chantal Rémy Clos de la Roche

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru

    Wine tasting. Ripe black fruit, firmly structured. Already tightly wound. I preferred its 2010 counterpart today.

  • 2009 Domaine Chantal Rémy Morey-Saint-Denis Clos de Rosiers

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey-Saint-Denis

    Wine tasting. First time I have ever seen or tasted this wine. Firm and structured, with a slightly simple finish.

  • 1998 Domaine Louis Remy Chambertin

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin Grand Cru

    Wine tasting. Floral, perfumed start. Powerful black fruit with moderate, meaty spice. Long finish brings together good fruit, structure and spice is a very classic manner. At its peak, tasting wonderful in a day of tasting mostly exuberant 2010s.

Flight 13 - Dom. Taupenot Merme (2 Notes)

  • 2010 Domaine Taupenot-Merme Morey-Saint-Denis

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey-Saint-Denis

    Wine tasting. Bright red fruit aromas with some good spice. Energetic fruit on palate with great balance. Quite complete for its level, 90 point potential to me, certainly worth seeking out.

  • 2010 Domaine Taupenot-Merme Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru La Combe d'Orveau

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru

    Wine tasting. Red and black cherry flavors and aromas. Also well structures and textured with good acidity and minerality and elegant tannins. Spice emerges at end. Not necessarily better than the wonderful MSD Villages just tasted, but another good 2010 worth seeking out.

Flight 14 - Domaine de la Vougeraie (1 Note)

  • 2010 Domaine de la Vougeraie Bonnes Mares

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru

    Wine tasting. All black fruit, very dense on both nose and palate. Rather compact on palate gives it an inaccessible character, this wine will need plenty of time in cellar.
