France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru
Two white Burgs batting at a high level. This was more linear than the Lafon but not quite as well balanced today, with the open-knit, exotic fruit sticking out a little.
Two white Burgs batting at a high level. Unanimously called as a better wine than the Caroline Morey at the table, with riper but less exotic fruits if that makes sense. Classic round texture of Meursault with very good acidity. A very complete wine that will age beautifully.
Cool dark red fruit, lots of earth and tobacco. Won't mistake this for a Bordeaux but very classically proportioned, the oak has integrated nicely here.

2019 Henri Magnien Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Champeaux 87 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
Another jammy and warm-fruited 2019 Burgundy with candied red strawberries. Not the biggest fan.
