Expressive bouquet with melon, some honey, meadow and some vanilla. On the palate tropical fruits like litchi, medicine, anise, lemon and candy flavors. Firm acidity, some oak and bitterness. Frivolous wine.

In the bouquet yellow tropical fruits. On the palate a full bodied wine with yellow fruits and a bit reductive impressions. Tart lemon, almonds, oak and bitterness. Drying in the finish. Overall not really impressive.

Beautiful and complex bouquet with yellow tropical fruits and pleasant vanilla. On the palate yellow fruits like pineapple, white fruits, some smoke, minerals and a touch of vanilla. Mild acidity, pleasant bitterness and a good length.

Red
2008 Louis Jadot Ladoix Rouge
85 points
The bouquet has some earthy impressions and harsh cherries and is not really inviting. On the palate unripe red fruits, like raspberries, red currants and cherries. Medium acidity, slightly sticky tannin and some bitterness in the finish. Not really a bad wine, but not very complex and not a great pleasure either.
Red
2006 Domaine Odoul-Coquard Chambolle-Musigny
85 points
In the bouquet harsh cherries, herbs and spices and some earthy and oak impressions. Same on the palate plus some red fruits like strawberries, some sticky tannin. The wine is medium plus bodied, has some minerality as well, but also very firm acidity and bitterness. It goes in all directions and is not really harmonious. There is juiciness and for that reason I still score it 85.

2005 Jacques Girardin Santenay 1er Cru Beauregard
88 points
Beautiful bouquet with some barnyard which blows off, red and dark berry fruits, minerals and herbs and spices. On the palate red berry fruits, cherries, some earthiness, juicy and pleasant acidity as well as slightly stocky tannin. A nice and harmonious wine, ready now and the next few years.

Red
2006 Andre Goichot Volnay 1er Cru Les Mitans

Red
2004 Domaine Christophe Bryczek Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Cuvée du Pape Jean-Paul II
90 points
Pleasantly stinky bouquet with some barnyard, earth, smoke, toast, plums, tobacco and coffee. On the palate a very tasty wine with the same impressions as well as animals and still some red berry fruits and cherries. Good acidity and soft, but still firm tannin. Maturity stage now and it will probably stay on this level for one or two years.
