Flight 1 (6 Notes)

  • 2014 Domaine Lamy-Pillot Saint-Aubin 1er Cru En Créot Blanc

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Saint-Aubin 1er Cru

    Made in an expansive style, similar to the Combes I tried before but this was a little warmer and riper. A little reductive at the start but opened up to show lovely citrus fruits, good drive and tension to the wine. Became a little too oxidative with air which was why the other table did not like it so much I think.

  • 2019 Domaine Francois et Antoine Jobard Bourgogne Blanc

    France, Burgundy, Bourgogne Blanc

    Very ripe nose, maybe overly so, to the extent that I might not have guessed this as a Chardonnay actually. So open-knit with exotic fruits that I could not quite believe that it was a Jobard. A lack of intensity to the fruit even for the level though unfortunately.

  • 2008 Pierre Bourée Fils Gevrey-Chambertin Clos de la Justice

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin

    Correctly guessed this as a Gevrey 08 with the acidity of vintage and the weight / meatiness from the village. Very complex and floral nose accompanied by a little earth. Showing some secondary character in terms of sous bois, became lighter and had more candied red fruit over time that I didn't like so much.

  • 2017 Simon Bize Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Talmettes

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru

    Lovely archetypal Burg. Guessed 17 as it was a young, yet charming wine. New style of Burgundy with gentler extraction focusing on freshness. Pure fruit of red cherries, great depth already.

  • 2016 Château Thivin Côte de Brouilly Les Griottes de Brulhié

    France, Burgundy, Beaujolais, Côte de Brouilly

    Leftovers from previous night, brought as an extra bottle. Some brett going on the nose that dissipated by the second day. Dark fruited and deep structure, fruit was cleaner and more expressive on second day. Others enjoyed this more than I did I think, but this was a great value buy.

  • 2016 Domaine Francois Lamarche Bourgogne

    France, Burgundy, Bourgogne

    Another disappointing Bourgogne. A couple of friends took a punt on this as it was going for $31 but on this showing not even worth that. Nose was acceptable but a little candied. The palate was very hollow though with some tea-like tannins, and the finish was curiously short and abrupt.
