Tasting, brief note. More black than red fruit, moderate depth. Simple, but good fruit overall and good for its level. From vines just near Gevrey.

Tasting, brief note. Black and blue fruit with meaty, animale character that I like as it really shows Gevrey. Same for its firm textures. Good+ for its level, 87-88 point potential.

Tasting, brief note. I guess this isn't "Domaine Arluad," but rather "&Arlaud," the negociant label. Very pleasant with good spice, modest fruit. Very easy to enjoy for near-term consumption.

Tasting, brief note. Good fruit, more black than red, ok spice. Somewhat burly, slightly rustic finish. Good for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Black fruit with dense, meaty character. Good concentration, good length. Very good for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Red berry, slightly floral with savory spice. Very well textured with a ferrous minerality on finish I always associate with Chambolle. Good length. Very good for its level.

Tasting, brief note. All black fruit with meaty character and good spice. Maintains youthful/ vibrant energy and elegance. Good length. Very good for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Red berry throughout with moderate concentration. Subtle spice, but classic. Very elegantly textured. Very good for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Red and black berry on nose and palate with serious concentration, even if slightly backward for right now. Very long and powerful with VG potential, this just needs patience.

Tasting, brief note. Very Gevrey character with black fruit, meaty character and animale. Very good fruit, very good concentration and good length and balance. VG+ for its level, 89-90 point potential.

Tasting, brief note. Black cherry and plum ere with meaty character that is prototypically Gevrey. Firm middle, very good length. Power on finish. VG for its level.

Tasting, brief note. A small step up vs Cazetiers. Black and red cherry and berry is quite nice, spice is modest. Very nicely balanced, I'd just like a little more concentration. Also very good for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Red fruit, nicely spiced. Definitely good for its level, probably a very good value wine.

Tasting, brief note. a clear step up from the Villages level. Better fruit concentration, but clearly more floral and spice elements here. VG for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Blacker fruit, slightly bitter and drying. I think this shows the ill effects of hail. Not classic. Good at best for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Ridiculously low yields due to hail (10 ha/hl?) Red and black berry on nose and palate with moderate spice. Soft and elegant start continuing toward an expanding finish. Great structure. Very impressive for this challenging vintage, 93-94 point potential. (I believe this is assembled, but not yet bottled.)

Tasting, brief note. Great red fruit, subtle spice, earth notes emerging early. Slightly coarse on finish. I wouldn't cellar this long-term.

Tasting, brief note. Odd for MSD Villages, this comes across as a tannic, furry beast that just wants to burrow underground.

Tasting, brief note. Starts with good, dense fruit, gets more backward towards middle and finishes rather burly.

Tasting, brief note. Comes across as very Bonnes Mares with black fruit, lots of power and concentration. Needs time. Very good for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Formerly Mongeard-Mugneret holding, purchased ~1998. Red fruit in a big. bold style. Good for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Floral with bright apple aromas. Apple flavors again with some lemon on finish. Very balanced, very good overall for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Apple, lemon peel, floral notes combine from great aromatic start. Similar flavors with a long finish with good minerality and balanced acidity. Great 92-93 point potential.

Tasting, brief note. Ripe fruit with lots of power. Spice, fruit, floral notes provide great sensory pleasure, nicely supported with elegant structure. 93-95 point potential for this rockstar wine.

Tasting, brief note. Orchard fruit with nice spice. Moderate weight. Maturely quickly, I wouldn't cellar this any longer.

Tasting, brief note. Rugged black fruit with a rustic character. Good for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Also somewhat rustic but with a musty note I didn't particularly enjoy given the wine's age.

Tasting, brief note. Black fruit aromas with roast meat and spice hints. Good and similar flavors with good density a rustic character, but I like the overall package here. Very good for its level. Cellar at least 5 years.

Tasting, brief note. Black fruit in a lghter style vs the Champeaux. Less rustic, more elegant. Moderate weight and nuance. Good for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Very reduced. Apple and lemon with a tart finish, but I think this is distorted by the reduction, so tough to fairly assess.

Tasting, brief note. Ripe fruit with spice and floral notes i great harmony. Very long and well textured. Also has a slightly tart finish that I'd expect to soften in a tear or two, so I think this has VG+ potential (92+ points), 2018 forward.

Tasting, brief note. Mostly red cherry, some black and blue fruit hints. Very balanced and forward for Pommard with a persistent elegance. Cellar a few years, and I think this has very good+ potential (92-93 point) from 2020.

Tasting, brief note. More black and firm vs Poutures with very good concentration and far more tannic structure. This will be less accessible near-term and require 10 years in the cellar. Very good (90-91 point) potential.

Tasting, brief note. Another good wine that will most likely be very good value in this lineup. Bright apple, rounded textures. Good now.

Tasting, brief note. Bright apple with lemon hint on finish. Good balance and length. Very good now through 2020, perhaps slightly longer.

Tasting, brief note. Apple and lemon peel with good energy. Some mint and anise. Moderate length. Good+ for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Less fruit driven vs 2014, but better textured. Apple start-to-finish. Also Good+ for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Ripe peach with slightly sweet spice. Starts lush and fun, but engaging textures emerge middle to finish. Very good.

Tasting, brief note. Big red fruit throughout with even better spice and moderate concentration. Softens and picks up more elegance from middle to finish. I liked it better today vs earlier this month at La Paulee SF.

Tasting, brief note. Reduced start. Ripe apple and pear with tropical hints. Backward now, needs time. Good+ potential for its 1er Cru level.

Tasting, brief note. More dense vs Chenevottes, also longer. Certainly less ripe. Alo good+ but with a leaner, more textural personality.

Tasting, brief note. Apple and lemon on nose and palate with good concentration, very well balanced. My favorite of the 5 Chassagne 1ers in the lineup, with very good (90-91 point) potential.

Tasting, brief note. Ripe, forward and rich orchard fruit. Fruit drive start-to-finish, less energy here, but still good length. I'd think this best young.

Tasting, brief note. Orchard fruit with tropical hints with very good concentration. Modest acidity, better minerality. While I slightly prefer the Embrazees, this was a close 2nd amongst these 5 Chassagne 1ers today.

Tasting, brief note. Slightly chaptalized. Rich and ripe peach and apple with spice hints, moderate depth and good acidity. Fat with softer, rounded textures. Probably best for the medium-term. Good+ for its Grand Cru level.

Tasting, brief note. Black and red cherry. Elegantly styled/ textured NSG with moderate density, VG minerality on finish. Moderate length. VG potential.

Tasting, brief note. More firm, tannic and dense vs Argillieres, but greater concentration. Still retains nice level of finesse and elegance. I slightly prefer the earlier wine, but can see how Clos St Marc will be better in a decade.

Tasting, brief note. Reductive start. All red fruit, bright underneath with good textures. I like the middle but find the finish drying, however am not sure if that is the result of reduction. Needs time, but judgment reserved.

Tasting, brief note. Black and red cherry with some plum notes and new oak hints. Middle-to-finish this becomes increasingly classic with bright fruit, crunchy textures and lots of precision. Give this some time, but VG potential.

Tasting, brief note. Racked 2 days ago. Bright red berry and cherry with lots of density for its level. Spice opens up from start to finish. VG+ for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Racked for bottling yesterday. Red and black cherry with VG concentration to start, more minerally finish where more spice also comes through. VG for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Racked for bottling 2 days ago. Subdued aromatic start, bigger and bolder flavors. All black fruit with very good spice. Firm right now, rather rugged. Big, muscular finish. This will highly reward patience.

Tasting, brief note. Racked for bottling just yesterday. Wide array of black and red berry and cherry. Long, powerful and expanding finish, but without coming across as heavy. Great for its level in this vintage.

Tasting, brief note. A little too tropical while also too simple at the same time. Good enough for near-term enjoyment.

Tasting, brief note. Floral nose with lots of apple. Some tropical hints, not it's barely a distraction. Ripe apple, baked apple and spice flavors with a perfumed mouthfeel. Long, long, long, lingering finish. 93-94 point potential for me.

Tasting, brief note. Simple, slightly earthy. Good for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Red and black cherry, but slightly simple for 1er Cru. Tasty young, good for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Array of cherry aromas and flavors with some plum in the middle. An elegantly styled Corton that will drink nicely in the medium-term and very softly textured for the vineyard. VG for 2022 forward.

Tasting, brief note. Fresh black fruit already nicely balanced with subtle animale and spice. Forward for Gevrey, VG for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Black plum and cherry, dark, meaty and brooding. Half whole cluster we were told and some of that spice and perfume comes through, but just faintly right now. Certainly good for its level but plenty of patience required.

Tasting, brief note. Ripe black fruit to start, which continues all the way through to the finish. Surprisingly accessible now for Chambertin, with faint hints of how/ where this will evolve. Certainly VG for young Chambertin, but I found it tough today to get much sense of its journey forward.

Tasting, brief note. Red cherry throughout, ever-so-slightly jammy to start, then an oddly bitter finish.

Tasting, brief note black and red cherry here with spice notes throughout. Moderate depth and length. Good enough for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Also black and red cherry with greater depth and density vs Fremiets. Slightly drying finish for now.
