France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Same profile as the Meursault village cuvee with more brightness and textural energy. Good balance, better in another year or three, 90-91 points.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Big and powerful, if slightly foursquare right now. Very good concentration with depth, lots of orchard fruit and some stone fruit, very good potential from 2028.
Walkaround tasting with producers. Red and black cherry, rich with good power and density for its level, a bit disjointed today, much likely better tomorrow.
Walkaround tasting with producers. Ripe black cherry with backward Pommard-esque structure. Dense and powerful with good potential a decade form now, 88-89 points.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Bottles last week. Bright red fruit, ripe with robust structure working together well in near balance already with good density. Good length, too, 91-92 points.
Walkaround tasting with producers. Magnum. Also lean and bright with more depth and lemon character, just enough stuffing to remain interesting through its fairly long finish.
Walkaround tasting with producers. Dense orchard fruit aromas and flavors with a nutty finish that shows off bright minerally textures. Very good length, better from 2026.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Much the same profile as Grands Charrons but richer yet with the same brightness, perhaps even slightly better harmony today.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet

France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Sam every tasty fruit with equally impressive, silky textures in near perfect harmony. Good power and persistence. Very good potential here, 92-94 points, 2026 forward.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Saint-Aubin 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. From3L. Fresh, bright, and crisp lemon and lemon peel with good depth, still showing so much energy with power emerging on the finish.
Walkaround tasting with producers. Bright, linear, on the tart side, with just enough richness. Very Aligote. Better to hold another year or two to soften.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru

France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Ultra rich, this is a powerhouse of a Batard with complex textures that are simultaneously both very bright and nearly unctuous. Dense and attention-grabbing, this is a huge success of a wine that is so enjoyable now with more to come.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru
Walkaround tasting with producers. Rich red and black cherry, balanced start, then more firm and burly near the finish. Good length, this needs more time to soften.
