Flight 1 - Reception (1 Note)
Flight 2 - Batard (5 Notes)
1993 Domaine Leflaive Bâtard-Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
Lovely wine that punched above its weight. Liked it a lot and kept coming back to it. Tied for #2 white of the night.

The most classic Leflaive of our Batards and very good.

2007 Domaine Leflaive Bâtard-Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
The 07 started slow, but became more interesting with time. Nice nose, a bit watery.

2009 Domaine Leflaive Bâtard-Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
The 09 didn't express producer or vineyard. Not a flawed bottle, simply underwhelming.

Flight 3 - Chevalier (5 Notes)
1999 Domaine Leflaive Chevalier-Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru
Whether you like it or not (I did), this wine stands out and makes you take notice. The words fiesty and sassy were bandied about. Pretty in that sassy way and very good. White WOTN.

2000 Domaine Leflaive Chevalier-Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru
For a number of us there was something weird (in a bad way) that we couldn't get past.

2002 Domaine Leflaive Chevalier-Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru
Not the typical inspiring nose, very decent palate. A good bottle but somewhat less than this wine is capable of.

Flight 4 - BBM (3 Notes)
2001 Domaine Leflaive Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
Good, not great, which it can be and should be. For a few of us it just wasn't that interesting.

Flight 5 - DRC Richebourg (4 Notes)
1972 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Richebourg
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
Still showing very nice fruit, with leather, light spice, and just a touch of tobacco. Thankfully this held together and could be appreciated over a couple of hours.

1999 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Richebourg
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
Still a bit tough and unyielding, the 99 is just starting to present what I suspect (hope?) will be its beauty. I'd counsel against opening these, as they just aren't showing enough yet.

2006 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Richebourg
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
The 06 didn't get much love, and frankly didn't deserve much. An underwhelming showing.

2009 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Richebourg
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
Quite sexy for a youngster, and a crowd pleaser. Should be great over time, and is a nice "young" DRC to open early.

1998 Domaine Anne Gros Richebourg
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
While it was late in the night, this 98 didn't move any of us.

1999 Domaine Jean Grivot Richebourg
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
I truly think this was a well stored "correct" bottle, but it was massively unappealing.

2002 Domaine Méo-Camuzet Richebourg
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
Hedonistic and electric on the palate. Animalistic. A crowd pleaser and a wine that brought the excitement back for our last bottle of the night.

2002 Pol Roger Champagne Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill
France, Champagne
Initially showing a lot of dough and yeast. Then the acidity kicked in. Dry pure, clean and enjoyable. Overall quite nice, if not exceptional.
