White
2010 Jean-Philippe Fichet Bourgogne Blanc Vieilles Vignes France, Burgundy, Bourgogne Blanc
Tasting. Robust aromas of lemon and lemon peel. Big scaled citrus flavors, impressive and powerful on finish. 89-90 point potential for me today. Almost always a white Burg personal favorite at its level, the same is true in 2010.
White

White
2008 Louis Jadot Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières Domaine Louis Jadot France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru
93 points
Tasting. Sensational and serious wine. Great cross-section of fruit aromas- peach, lemon, lemon zest, hazelnut, spice all working together with nuance and charm along with alluring floral elements. A restrained palate with lots of energy and minerality. I rarely see Jadot's Genevrières and this vintage is certainly worth seeking out.

White
2010 Domaine Patrick Javillier Meursault Cuvée Les Clousots France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault

White
2010 Domaine Rémi Jobard Meursault 1er Cru Le Poruzot-Dessus France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru
Tasting. Floral start with powerful apple and peach aromas, some background nutty hints. Acidity a bit in the forefront today on the palate, but there is so much exciting and concentrated fruit here that it will certainly emerge in a few years as a 91-92 point wine.

2010 Domaine Roulot Meursault Les Tessons Clos de Mon Plaisir France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault
Tasting. A bit reduced and austere to start. Nuanced orchard fruit emerged on palate with good concentration. Very good, just not at the level of the Tillets for me today.
White

Tasting. Ripe apple and pear to start. Slightly floral and nutty background notes. Same big fruit on palate with moderate spice, then robust sneaky structure emerging on finish. Came across better and more complete than the same wine tasted a couple of days ago.

Red
2010 Bouchard Père et Fils Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Chênes France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru
