Chardonnay more

Youthful and bright! Flinty, mineral, w sharp acidity and nice depth of fruit that’s still coiled up a bit. Quite nice!

This 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 Amoureuses

Pinot Noir more

Very 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-Montrachet

Chardonnay more

5/2/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 94 points

Outstanding 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!

Quite nice, but fell a bit short compared to the 14' Dauvissat clos next to it.

2004 Bollinger Champagne Vieilles Vignes Françaises

Pinot Noir more

5/2/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 95 points

Drank 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…

Drank 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 Preuses

Chardonnay more

4/29/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 96 points

Great 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.

Crisp, 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!

Needs 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 Perrières

Chardonnay more

4/20/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 93 points

Fresh 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 Neive

Nebbiolo more

4/20/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 93 points

Soft, 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 Blanc

Chardonnay more

4/19/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 94 points

Tasted 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!

2019 Jean-Claude Ramonet Bâtard-Montrachet

Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay more

4/16/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 95 points

Opulent 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.

A 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!

4/14/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 92 points

Solid 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 Chetillons

Chardonnay more

4/13/2024 - joshabramson Likes this wine: 93 points

Slightly 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.
