2020 Domaine Michel Niellon Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la MaltroieChardonnay more |
5/3/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 94 pointsYouthful and bright! Flinty, mineral, w sharp acidity and nice depth of fruit that’s still coiled up a bit. Quite nice! |

1987 François Raveneau Chablis Grand Cru Les ClosChardonnay more |
5/2/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 95 pointsThis was a great looking bottle, color was perfect. Super fresh and vibrant, ever so slightly nutty and honeyed... holding up really well! |

2008 Joseph Drouhin Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les AmoureusesPinot Noir more |
5/2/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 94 pointsVery aromatic and pretty, but a bit disjointed. I'm not sure if this vintage is ever going to fully come around and be a great wine, the structure is still fairly brooding and I'm not sure there's sufficient fruit to hold up long enough for the tannin to fully integrate. That said, still very tasty! |

2017 Lamy-Caillat Chassagne-MontrachetChardonnay more |
5/2/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 94 pointsOutstanding village wine. Really demands a lot of air to show best. Drank next to 14' Dauvissat clos, which was the clear winner. Perhaps not a fair fight to compare grand cru from a top producer to a village wine... but they cost the same at the moment in the secondary market, so I think it's a reasonable comparison! |

2014 Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les FolatièresChardonnay more |
5/2/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 94 pointsQuite nice, but fell a bit short compared to the 14' Dauvissat clos next to it. |

2004 Bollinger Champagne Vieilles Vignes FrançaisesPinot Noir more |
5/2/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 95 pointsDrank at the end of the night, so my notes are limited. Lots of richness and complexity… but stylistically this wasn’t my favorite. I guess I just prefer a more crisp and linear champagne at the end of the day… |

2014 Domaine de la Romanée-Conti La TâcheLa Tâche Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
5/2/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: NRDrank at the end of the night (what a waste!) — but this was every bit as good as I remembered it. Pure class! |

2013 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis Grand Cru Les PreusesChardonnay more |
4/29/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 96 pointsGreat acidity, with lovely bright lemon citrus, orchard fruit and loads of minerality. This is really great chablis, drinking at peak for my taste... lots of depth and complexity, but still spry and super fresh. No reason to hold these longer, IMO. |

4/23/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 94 pointsCrisp, with lots of minerals and bright acidity. Would have probably guessed Jura had I tasted blind. First time with this producer and I’m a fan! |

2020 Joseph Drouhin Corton-CharlemagneCorton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay more |
4/23/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 94 pointsBright orchard fruit and nice acidity. My first CC from Drouhin and I was pleasantly surprised, this was very nice! |

2014 Vincent Dauvissat (René & Vincent) Chablis 1er Cru VaillonsChardonnay more |
4/22/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 95 pointsNeeds a little air to get going, but this is really good! Lots of bright lemon citrus, high acidity, crushed rocks and oyster shells. |

2017 Etienne Sauzet Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les PerrièresChardonnay more |
4/20/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 93 pointsFresh and zippy, with reasonably dense fruit and medium+ acidity. Not particularly memorable or interesting for me tonight, perhaps a bit too young and shut down at the moment, but very solid wine. |

1989 Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Gallina di NeiveNebbiolo more |
4/20/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 93 pointsSoft, aromatic and pretty. Fully mature and probably not improving from here. Very solid, but not drinking at quite the same level as many of the mid/late 90s vintages of white label giacosa I've had in recent years. |

2017 Domaine Roulot Monthélie Clos Les Champs Fulliot BlancChardonnay more |
4/19/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 94 pointsTasted side-by-side with 17' Roulot Porusot. Both were delicious, and while the Porusot had an edge with it's voluptuous orchard fruit, this more lineal Monthélie held its own, showing a bit more acidity and great precision. Lovely wine! |

2017 Domaine Roulot Meursault 1er Cru Les PoruzotsChardonnay more |
4/19/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 96 pointsLoaded with dense & ripe orchard fruit. Slightly tropical, complex & elegant with exceptional balance. A very complete wine! |

2019 Jean-Claude Ramonet Bâtard-MontrachetBâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay more |
4/16/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 95 pointsOpulent and concentrated, with layered & rich orchard fruit balanced with bright acidity. Still a baby and coiled up a bit at first, a short decant helped for sure. I really enjoyed this wine, but it didn’t exactly wow me at its current stage of development. Lots of potential here though. |

2002 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Clos de la RocheClos de la Roche Grand Cru Pinot Noir more |
4/16/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 94 pointsA little bit dirty immediately out of the bottle, but cleaned up nicely with minimal air. Very pretty aromatics and tastes like fresh raspberries. Elegant, bright and silky! |

2021 La Pierre Ronde Meursault Les PerchotsChardonnay more |
4/14/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 92 pointsSolid wine, but not a bottle I'd seek out again. Pretty expensive for what it is, there was something a bit weird to me about the flavor profile... a bit fruity with medium acidity. |

2015 Pierre Péters Champagne Grand Cru Cuvée Speciale Blanc de Blancs Les ChetillonsChardonnay more |
4/13/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 93 pointsSlightly toasty, rich and bright, with good acidity and layered fruit. I’ve really enjoyed every bottle of Pierre Peters Chetillons I’ve drank, although if my memory holds and weight I’d say that I enjoyed the 14’ I had recently more than this vintage. |
