1969 Moët & Chandon Champagne Cuvée Dom Pérignon Oenothèque
France, Champagne
Fading a bit and didn't quite measure up to the original release. An off bottle.

1969 Dom Pérignon Champagne P3
France, Champagne
Sadly this bottle was not nearly as epic as the last a couple of years ago. Tasted a bit tired and outdone today by the original release.

1989 Louis Jadot Chevalier-Montrachet Les Demoiselles Domaine des Héritiers Louis Jadot Flawed

2004 Domaine Leflaive Chevalier-Montrachet

Incredibly fresh and delicious, vibrant with tons of energy. Very good.

2008 Etienne Sauzet Chevalier-Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru
Bright and young. Less tension than the 04 Leflaive, but no less energy. Very surprising to have such a great showing from this producer from this time period.

2004 Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Pucelles
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru
Really good and fresh. Another 04 that was surprisingly young. Clearly one of their best wines, some said better than the Chevy by its side.

Flight 4 - PYCM Vertical (5 Notes)
2014 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Corton-Charlemagne
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
Taught and precise. A touch linear and never quite opened up fully.

2015 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Corton-Charlemagne
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
Another excellent showing from this vintage. PYCM really crushed 2015 with lots of tension and acid.

2016 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Corton-Charlemagne
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
A bit flabby and lower acid compared to the others.

2017 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Corton-Charlemagne
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
Wonderful acid combined with a lingering finish garnered this WOTF honors. Such a lovely drink.

Flight 5 - Blind Intermezzo (1 Note)
2011 Coche-Dury Meursault Les Chevalières

Blind. Layered and complex. Another great 2011 showing this weekend.

Flight 6 - Monty (5 Notes)
2011 Marquis de Laguiche (Joseph Drouhin) Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru
From mag. Very advanced.

2019 Marquis de Laguiche (Joseph Drouhin) Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru
Really, really good just like the last showing. Nose just exploding out of the glass with lots of energy on the palate. Drouhin did amazing in 19 and I can't wait to taste the 20.

2017 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru
A bit flat, this was sadly an off bottle of what should have been the WOTN.

2018 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Montrachet Grand Cru
Open and inviting. Very long finish. Enjoyable, but just a notch below the best bottles from 14/17.

2018 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru
Wide open and quite luscious. Lacking a bit of stuffing compared to the big brother next to it.

Flight 7 - Leflaive BBM (3 Notes)
2010 Domaine Leflaive Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
Deep and full, very complete. First sip was the best as it seemed to fade with air. Perhaps not the best cork on this bottle.

2011 Domaine Leflaive Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
Mostly front palate at first, all treble, lacking bass. However, more air did it well and it started to fill out in the middle. 2011s seem to need quite a bit of air right now.

2014 Domaine Leflaive Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
Young and fresh. A bit light on the finish, but quite lovely. I think many 14s have been in a shut down phase lately, just not quite showing all their latent power.

Flight 8 - Blind Intermezzo (1 Note)
2017 Domaine Leroy Bourgogne-Aligoté
France, Burgundy, Bourgogne-Aligoté
Herbal notes, ginger, almost spicy with sweet tarts and orange rind. Interesting taste in a cerebral way. The Frenchman there said you should drink your Aligoté much younger.

Flight 9 - Batard (4 Notes)
2014 Domaine Michel Niellon Bâtard-Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
Nothing wrong with this bottle, but no real spark to this wine.

2010 Domaine Ramonet Bâtard-Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
Full, deep and explosive throughout. This was an incredible bottle and right up there for WOTN honors.

2014 Jean-Claude Ramonet Bâtard-Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
A bit developed, but this had very good acid as one would expect from the vintage. This bottle didn't quite wow.

2015 Jean-Claude Ramonet Bâtard-Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
Lower acid, but not flabby. Just clearly third place behind the 10/14.

Flight 10 - Bouchard Chevy + A Ringer (5 Notes)
2015 Bouchard Père et Fils Chevalier-Montrachet Domaine
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru
A bit short and clipped. Have not been wowed by this vintage from Bouchard.

2018 Bouchard Père et Fils Chevalier-Montrachet Domaine
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru
Surprisingly complete and balanced for the vintage. Today this might have shown better than the 17.

2019 Bouchard Père et Fils Chevalier-Montrachet Domaine
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru
Very round and full bodied. Lots of stuffing, but very young.

2019 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Chevalier-Montrachet
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru
Crisp and linear with a nice complexity. Great wine making in a very good vintage. Outclassed the Bouchards in this flight.

Flight 11 - Dessert (1 Note)
2004 Château d'Yquem
France, Bordeaux, Sauternais, Sauternes
Not very sweet. Reminded me a bit of the 2005 DRC Monty from the night before, lol. Good, but not great, but did pair nicely with the sweetness of the Basque Cheesecake. Some actually poured the wine onto the dessert.
