Floral and a broad array of rich fruit - lemon, apple, pear, plus near tropical hints. Brilliantly textured at the same time. Great for its level, drinking so well now when young.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
Magnum. Ripe and plump orchard and stone fruits. Opulent now but clear enough (firm) structure in the near background, I expect further upside from here.
Ripe and fun black fruits, faintly sweet with a hint of warmth on its finish. Give this a few years in the cellar to soften, best 2028-2040, enjoy medium term, 90+ point potential.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
This is a great wine still in its infancy. Black and red berries throughout with subtle spice, not quite as developed as its will be in another 5-10 years, but the bones are there for glory once the baby fat fades and new oak harmonizes further. 92 points today, 94-95 points from 2030 forward.
