Tasted Tuesday, February 17, 2009 by Claudio161 with 701 views
Joined my friend to get exposure to some newer and a few slightly aged burgundies. They did not disappoint, but to get the good stuff - you'll need for fork over some decent dollars - but no more than what California charges these days. IMO, Burgundy may still very well be a better value than it's Cali counterparts.
Good stuff. Give me more. 2001's are really tasting good right now.

2006 Domaine du Château de Chorey (Germain) Beaune 1er Cru Les Cras Vieilles Vignes 89 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru
Nose: Killer nose. My initial reaction was "it's great!". Also a excellent balance of fruit and wood
Taste: Brief flash of tarragon; Slightly dry on the finish; Acidity was a little astringent for my liking.
Overall: Needs some more time on its side. A little concerned over the retail price of 64.80 - not sure the quality was there for the price. 89 Points.

2001 Domaine du Château de Chorey (Germain) Beaune 1er Cru Les Cras Vieilles Vignes 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru
Nose: Screams perfume/florals with some in-step raspberry notes. Some pungency in the way of truffles along with some nuttiness.
Taste: Good amount of minerals and acid to balance off the fruit. Great attack/mid/finish - all around looking good, balanced, and is set for better times with age.
Overall: Give me some! Really enjoyed and would buy more. 91-93 Points.
