  • 2012 Buisson-Charles Meursault Vieilles Vignes

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault

    Deep yellow colour - v noticeable when compared to its flightmate. S mentioned that the last bottle he'd had was better on day 2, and I can see it with this wine. Left some in the glass until the end of the meal and it did perk up.

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet

    mmm mmm mmm - this is more like it, pale colour, lovely nose hint of lemon, hint of grass, some flintiness. Would this pass for more than a Villages wine? Not sure but definitely lovely stuff - my #3 WOTN.

  • 2016 Domaine Ponsot Morey St. Denis Cuvée des Grives

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey St. Denis

    My wine. Showing well - always a relief at these things - still purple in colour, there's some substance there but at this stage still a pronounced, not quite shrill acidity. I could see the familial resemblance to the 01, and could imagine this will follow a similar trajectory.

  • 2001 Domaine Ponsot Morey St. Denis Cuvée des Grives

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey St. Denis

    Oh this is it. Fully mature at this stage, although not on the downslope I don't think - I am told that it has been drinking the same for the past decade. There's a hint of mushroom, of autumn churchyard, but lovely balance - certainly no better than villages, but really what you want from a villages if you can get it.

  • 2017 Domaine Robert Chevillon Nuits St. Georges Vieilles Vignes

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges

    There's a tautness here, the acidity is just a little shrill and unintegrated. Perfectly decent stuff and was pleased to have it but didn't show well on the night. Interestingly, my perceptions of this flight were very out of line with tablemates - so much so I asked for a sniff of a glass to make sure I hadn't got them mixed up. Anyway - a chacun son gôut...

  • 2017 Francois Confuron-Gindre Nuits St. Georges

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges

    Found this much more engaging, much more attractive - some discussion that there might be some VA there and degenerate musarophiles such as myself are unduly tolerant of such things...either way, enjoyed this.

  • 2018 Sylvain Cathiard Vosne-Romanée

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée

    WOTN for me. There's a breadth to it, an almost generosity on the palate but one still perceives the intensity of the fruit, and the structure isn't 1er cru for sure. Jolly nice stuff.

  • 2009 Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg Vosne-Romanée

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée

    This is one wine where I wonder if palate fatigue prevented it from being fairly evaluated. A little quieter than its flightmate, more restrained, but there's a lot going on here. I think of all the wines we tasted this is the one I'd like to try again - perhaps over a longer period and with larger pours...
