Flight 2 - First Chassagne Flight (3 Notes)
2017 Benjamin Leroux Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Tête du Clos 91 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru
Reduction took 5 minutes to fade. Plenty of ripe apple with some peach and sweet spice. Very good density. The richest and fleshiest of the flight, and that's Morgeot coming through. Very good now, with some further upside.

2017 Blain-Gagnard Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Caillerets 91 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru
Lemon and green apple throughout. This had been opened 3-4 hours before serving, with decanter time, but is clearly still backward. Lots of density and minerality, but not particularly lots of pleasure at this time. 91-93 point potential, I would like to revisit this wine 2025-2035.

2017 Domaine Bernard Moreau et Fils Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champs-Gain 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru
Floral start with ripe apple, pear and some spiced hints. Very good richness while also elegantly balanced. Even better now vs a year ago, both for current enjoyment and medium-term potential. My favorite of the flight.

Flight 3 - Niellon Flight (2 Notes)
2017 Domaine Michel Niellon Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Chaumées Clos de la Truffière Flawed
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru
An odd bottle. Significantly reductive to start, and that never dissipated, even after a few hours. Nose was never enjoyable, but the palate was rich and powerful. Very different vs the two previous bottles that thrilled me.

2017 Domaine Michel Niellon Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos St. Jean 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru
Floral and spiced start with fleshy apple and some lemon and lemon zest hints. Bright from start to finish, with a very long finish. Good now, better 2022-.

Flight 4 - (Mostly) Puligny (3 Notes)
2017 Benoit Ente Chassagne-Montrachet Les Houillères 90 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet
A very impressive Village level wine. Perfumed start with a complex array of orchard and stone fruit. Fleshy from start-to-finish with good density and length for its level, ending with a bright finish. Good now, with upside.

2017 Benoit Ente Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Truffière 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru
Subtle floral beginning with green and yellow apple aromas and flavors. Rich start with good weight, but this grows and expands towards long-ish, minerally finish. Very classic and lithe. Good now, but better 2022-. My favorite wine tonight for its potential.

2017 Domaine Henri Boillot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Mouchère 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru
Intensely floral and nutty start with peach and lemon curd aromas. Lush, engaging and very demonstrative in a forward manner. So good now with upside. Probably better tonight than the Benoit Ente 2017 Clos de la Truffiere in the next glass, but I think the opposite will be true in a decade.

Flight 5 - But Wait...There's More! (2 Notes)
2008 Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Clos de la Maréchale
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru
Leaner styled red and black cherry throughout with dried herbs and earth notes. Moderate weight, good length, but a slightly drying finish. I enjoyed this wine, but perhaps it was lost after all these great younger white Burgundies. 88 points for me tonight. Popped and poured, which didn't help.

1985 Graham Porto Vintage
Portugal, Douro, Porto
From 375 ml bottle, popped and poured. Rich and jammy, just slightly simpler than I'd prefer, ending with a warm-ish finish as well. Good, but slightly disappointing vs expectations.

NV R. & L. Legras Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut 89 Points
France, Champagne, Champagne Grand Cru
Lots of lemon and green apple with good+ weight and length, but finishing with a finish I found slightly too tart, nearly bitter. Then much better with food. Recently purchased, so most likely current release.
