Flight 1 (4 Notes)
Flight 2 - Les Amoureuses (4 Notes)
2005 Joseph Drouhin Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Getting some aromatic expression and detail here. Perfume. Elegant. Good but this and Jadot are not comparable to the Groffier and Roumier in the flight. Actually, this is decent. Potential here.

2005 Louis Jadot Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses 89 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Drouhin is superior to this. Tannic, dark, soily. Don’t care for this. Kind of hot too. Not very good.

2005 Domaine Robert Groffier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Excellent nose. Notably more expressive than other producers right now. Superior to Drouhin and Jadot by a mile. Flashy, sexy, bright, already has floral detail. Smells the best of the flight actually. Palate is integrating and is approachable now, much more so than the Roumier in the next glass which is still tightly coiled. More lift and perfume right now. Groffier showing very well at this retrospective across vineyards. 93 - 94.

2005 Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Bright red cherry. Sexy and racy. This is significantly bigger and more complete than the preceding Groffier, although less approachable right now. Fine palate already, darker berry fruit, not ready. Apparently under two barrels made of this. Very good but definitely wait. Darker, foresty, brooding. 94 - 96?

Flight 3 - Musigny (3 Notes)
2005 Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier Musigny 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Musigny Grand Cru
Very quiet on the nose, hard to get a good read at first. Low projection / expression. Requires a lot of coaxing to get much right now. Palate is super clean and pure. I think that this will be quite good in time, like ten more years minimum. Circled back to this glass after three hours and it was much more detailed and expressive. 94-

2005 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Musigny Cuvée Vieilles Vignes 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Musigny Grand Cru
This has some sort of pretty fruit compote on the nose. Somewhat candied. Palate is okay, some sappy richness. Brooding black fruit. Don’t hate it…

Flight 4 (6 Notes)
2005 Domaine d'Ardhuy Clos Vougeot 90 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Never heard of or seen this before. Warm, candied, lacquered red cherry.

2005 Domaine Méo-Camuzet Clos Vougeot 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Looks pretty bright and clear in the glass for Meo. Smells great, a bit rustic, a bit wild. Has expression and detail already. Perfumed too. Really quite impressive. Cola spice. Excellent. Possibly / probably the wine of the flight. 94+

2005 Domaine Château De La Tour Clos Vougeot Vieilles Vignes Flawed
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru
Coming out flat. I don’t think sound / correct.

2005 Sylvain Cathiard Romanée St. Vivant 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Romanée St. Vivant Grand Cru
Big nose. Totally different from the Cathiard Malconsorts in the first flight. Hard to get a read on this. Palate is a bit better than the nose but still more extracted than I expected. Some kind of cranberry varnish that I don’t like. Palate a bit better. Malconsorts superior right now.

2005 Domaine Jean Grivot Richebourg 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
Although big this nose is already very beautiful and expressive. Big projection. Savoury spice. Juicy red and black fruit. Wine of the flight. Lots of stuffing. Fine, pure, clean. Palate still too big right now. Spice and baking spice. Liked this more than I expected.

2005 Domaine Anne Gros Richebourg 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
Dark chai teas. A bit closed down. People seem to really like this wine but I would say too big for me.

Flight 5 (4 Notes)
2005 Christophe Roumier Ruchottes-Chambertin 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru
Big nose with good projection. Bright raspberry and cherry fruit. Didn’t realize “ruchottes” means stones, I guess there is some minerality. Already elegant and detailed, I like it a lot, really good. Quite different from the Roumier Clos de la Bussieres and Amoureuses, more approachable now. Smiley face written in notes :) 94++

2005 Domaine Alain Burguet Chambertin-Clos de Bèze
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru
Never heard of or seen this before. Smells great though, very floral. Straightforwardly delicious.

2005 Louis Jadot Chambertin-Clos de Bèze 88 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru
Meh, not very good. Jadot having a bad night.

2005 Domaine Robert Groffier Chambertin-Clos de Bèze 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru
Again, Groffier showing really well tonight. Significantly more approachable and expressive than other producers at this stage. Expressive, floral, perfumed, very good. Drinkable now. Softer fruity palate. Already softening at the edges.

Flight 6 - Rousseau (4 Notes)
2005 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux St. Jacques 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
Initially lacquered and dark but showing some signs of life. Opening up on the nose a bit more. Not bad. All I wrote.

2005 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques 94 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
Already very pretty although just barely approachable right now. This will be excellent. Cool red and blue fruit. Already showing elegance. Loads of upside. 94 - 96.

2005 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Chambertin 95 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin Grand Cru
Notably more approachable and open for business than the Bèze alongside. Flashy nose. Already excellent right now. Traces of smoke. 95++

2005 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Chambertin-Clos de Bèze 95 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru
Bouldery cool minerality. Big, dark, concentrated. Not really approachable just yet whereas the straight Chambertin seems a fair bit more accessible. Chambertin is comparatively more flashy on the nose right now too. This is technically excellent and will be very good.

2005 Domaine G. Roumier / Christophe Roumier Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Clos de La Bussière 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru
Dark fruited and tight. Smells closed right now. Palate a bit softer than the nose suggests. Still very concentrated and tight. Pretty decent to good, but definitely a hold at this point. (My 2005 Roumier Chambolle Village this Summer was superior)

2005 Domaine Robert Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Moderately flashy nose. Some spice coming through. Palate is softer / more approachable than others in this flight. Spice coming through on palate too. Relative elegant. Apparently has some whole cluster. Cool spice and root beer detail. 92+

2005 Sylvain Cathiard Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Malconsorts 93 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Nose is clean, pure, bright. Seemingly the most complex of this first flight. Still very big. Brambly blackberry. Palate still a bit too big. Some candy to the fruit. Apparently 100% de-stemmed which I would say shows.

2005 Domaine François Lamarche La Grande Rue 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, La Grande Rue Grand Cru
(Jero) Big. Black cherry. Some menthol. Palate is too big and monolithic for me right now. Concentrated. Goodness that’s a big wine, from Jero but still…
