Grand cru Burgundies at Jason's
Tasted Monday, December 30, 2024 by melvinyeowq with 210 views
Introduction
Also had a producer that couldn't be found on CT.
1964 Mahler Chapelle-Chambertin
No trace of this producer on CT, think it was bottled by a Swiss negoce. Guessed ‘60s for this because of the tertiary fruit that was autumnal and bordering on anaemic. Superb aromatics but palate had nothing going on except acidity, the ‘64 Lynch Bages tasted with the same group a few weeks back was much more vibrant.
2006 L. Tramier & Fils Corton Charlemagne 89 Points
France, Burgundy
Old-school style that was large-scaled with overt oxidative, honey notes. Guessed early 2000s CC, good weight but too flabby for me.

2013 Domaine Michel Caillot Bâtard-Montrachet 90 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
My contribution. In contrast to the Tramier alongside, this was lightweight and underpowered for a grand cru, never mind a Bâtard. Pleasant citrus fruit but nothing more, would have guessed weak 1er at best. Most others guessed Chablis from an acidic vintage. Did put on some weight with air but not depth.

2010 Rapet Père et Fils Corton-Charlemagne 90 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
Another old-school white but with more tension than the Tramier. Creamy texture with a lactic note, slightly tropical fruit with butterscotch notes. Guessed Girardin '09 CC.

2017 Domaine Poisot Pere & Fils Corton-Charlemagne 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru
Thought this was a Chevalier initially but when the person who brought it said that there were similarities to the previous wine I said it was a ‘17 CC. Chiselled citrus fruit, most balanced and fresh of the whites that made it the unanimous favourite for the white flight.

2017 Faiveley Corton-Clos des Cortons Faiveley 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru
Managed to nail new-school Faiveley but thought ‘18 Gevrey. Slick and slightly candied fruit with good concentration.A little rusticity but not the fierce tannins of Corton. Surprisingly ready and enjoyable despite being primary.

2010 Domaine Amiot-Servelle Clos Saint-Denis 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru
Reminded me of the H-N Clos Vougeot I tasted last year but someone else guessed Felettig which was a better guess. Very refined and silky texture, attractive dark red fruit with some spice but with a masculine structure. Impeccably balanced like most ‘10s. The unanimous favourite for the red flight.

2005 Bonneau du Martray Corton 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru
First time trying a BdM red, thought '18 because it was so primary and candied but realised it was older once the rusticity showed. Someone said '10 or '05 but I said '05 was the better guess because of the tannic edge. Powerful and structured like a typical Corton, but its red-fruited nature made it attractive and approachable.

2005 Prince Florent de Merode Corton-Bressandes 91 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru
Wonderful aromatics and a seamless texture that made me think Vosne, nobody was anywhere near Corton or '05. Lovely texture but a little simple, it lacked the extra gear of the Jayer-Gilles alongside and most concurred after some time.

2005 Domaine Robert Jayer-Gilles Echezeaux du Dessus 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Barnyard on the nose which I felt distracted the others from the superb palate, thankfully it did blow off eventually. Large-scaled and powerful dark fruit with a silky texture, agreed with a friend who said warm vintage Echezeaux but went for '09. Haven't had much of this producer but I think similar to the old-school Laurent mould where the oak integrates with time based on this.

2017 Domaine Poisot Pere & Fils Romanée St. Vivant 90 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru
Still primary and candied, guessed '18 Echezeaux. Not very RSV or grand cru in stature, don't see the potential here.
