Tasting. Perfumed nose with enticing spice and red cherry aromas. Same fruit flavors but a bit too firm (almost coarse) on palate for the level of fruit and level of this wine.
Tasting. Ripe red and black fruit aromas with subtle spice. Power on palate with mostly black fruit. Very good density for its level, I would never have thought this Bourgogne. Good now, this should easily drink well for at least a decade.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny
Tasting. Very impressive Villages wine with classic Chambolle charm. Red cherry and some strawberry elements on both nose and palate. Modest spice showing a bit of licorice and fresh herbs.Great textures and minerality come through on reasonably long finish.
Tasting. Very large scaled black fruit on both nose and palate with some rich liqueuer hints. Dense fruit and textures with just faint spice hints that would have made me think this wasn't from Vosne if tasted blind.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin
Tasting. Ripe blackberry and black cherry aromas with spice hints. Very forward and accessible. Lush red and black cherry flavors. Easy to enjoy today, in contrast to the Gevrey VV that was more concentrated but backward.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin
Tasting. Meaty black fruit aromas and flavors with more density and concentration than its younger vines Gevrey counterpart, but more backward and less accessible, giving it a very compact character. This will need plenty of time in the cellar.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chapelle-Chambertin Grand Cru
Tasting. Very impressive red and black cherry aromas with licorice and espresso notes. Slightly more black fruit flavors with some cocoa and licorice again. Soft fruit to start on palate, seemingly picking up concentration to a long, powerful finish. Impressive.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru
Tasting. Red and black cherry aromas with great spice. Elegant start with nuance and charm, then more meaty and dense fruit from middle to finish. Great minerality and textures start-to-finish.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru
Tasting. Rich and ripe fruit aromas, showcasing peach and ripe apple with hazelnut, licorice and marzipan. Similar on palate, somewhat fat and slightly hot on finish, so give this another couple of years in cellar to soften.
