Tasting, brief note. Apple with some lemon peel and a touch of ginger and lemongrass. Good young, good for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Ripe apple and pear with a true nutty note, good spice and solid concentration. Good+ for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Ripe stone fruit and orchard fruit that starts with good power, not as finessed and energetic as the best Perrieres. Good for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Ripe and alluring aromas followed by ripe apple and peach flavors. Great Villages level wine.

Tasting, brief note. Apple and spice on nose and palate. Weighty and dense, also very impressive for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Sweet, powerful fruit throughout, but finishing with a bag of pebbles for crunchy textures. Must find this wine.

Tasting, brief note. Late summer flowers with ripe apple and apple pie spice aromas. Similar flavors, but more restrained with less emphasis on the sweet notes. Very long. VG+ for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Rich while sturdy. Apple and apricot. Well textured. Less exciting than the Meursaults, but this is not domaine owned property. Good+ for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Fat fruit to start on nose and palate, finishing with mineral-driven textures. Moderate length and power. Also not quite as exciting as the Meursault cuvees, this is also not domaine owned property. Good+ for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Rich red fruit with sweet spice, floral hints. Moderate concentration and structure, this will be VG for medium-term.

Tasting, brief note. Good lemon start-to-near-finish, but ends with a bitter note I didn't enjoy.

Tasting, brief note. Apple aromas and flavors with some lemon on palate. Seems a bit rugged on finish. Good enough for its price.

Tasting, brief note. A big step up vs the straight Bourgogne, this has more apple and lemon with very good concentration with spice hints. VG for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Ilike the aromas showing rich fruit that come across as more auster on palate, but with good density. Good for its level.

Tasting, brief note. A small step up from the Monthélie, again with more appealing aromas than flavors and slightly auster at the end. Good for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Apple, lemon and floral on nose and palate. A Villages that needs another year or two in the cellar. Starts broad and powerful, finishes nicely firm, with just an awkward transition in the middle for now. I think this will have VG 89-90 point potential from 2018 forward.

Tasting, brief note. Bright apple, medium weight, moderate length. I prefer the straight Meursault AC.

Tasting, brief note. A big step up from the Meix Sous la Château. Apple and pear with greater density and length. Firm finish with good finesse. 90-91 point potential here, just cellar this a year or three.

Tasting, brief note. More forward and alluring fruit vs Gruyaches with spice and floral notes. Also good energy, just less concentration. Different vs Gruyaches, I'm not sure which I prefer. Also VG+ for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Floral start with Meyer lemon and ripe apple. Textures galore with a very long finish. Also VG+ for its level, this is the star of today's lineup.

Tasting, brief note. Floral, elegant start. Apple throughout, lemon as well on finish. Good length. VG for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Floral start with Meyer lemon and ripe apple aromas. Ripe fruit flavors but slightly backward at the same time. Long finish, albeit firm. VG overall, 2020 forward.

Tasting, brief note. Peach and spice on nose and palate with moderate depth and length. I slightly preferred Tillets.

Tasting, brief note. Fresh and fun for near-term pleasure. Good Bourgogne.

Tasting, brief note. Rich and forward fruit-driven start showing apple and tropical hints. Firms up near finish. Good young, better in another 2-5 years. I really like this wine from the 2009 vintage right now, and can see this 2014 evolving similarly.

Tasting, brief note. Ripe fruit with floral, toasted nuts and spice support provide an overall great nose. More restrained palate with plenty of acidity, less perceived minerality. VG potential, but cellar at least 5 years.

Tasting, brief note. Apple start-to-finish, very bright, minerally and textured - textbook Genevrières for me. Very long finish, somewhat firm. VG for its level. Needs time.

Tasting, brief note. Fruit driven with red and black cherry, modest spice, moderate depth. Good+ for its level for the medium-term.

Tasting, brief note. Similar fruit profile to Santenots, but less overall balance. Starts sweeter, finishes firmer. Needs more time. Good enough for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Stone fruit with spring flowers and subtle spice. Fat fruit is fun and forward right now with rounded textures. VG+ for its level for the near-term.

Tasting, brief note. Fresh and sweet orchard fruit aromas and flavors with bright energy and minerality i enjoy. A step up from the Puligny AC.

Tasting, brief note. Fresh apple and lemon, less forward ripeness here. Moderate depth, good energy and length. Good+ for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Large apple aromas and flavors with textures in harmony. Very good balance already today. Moderate depth and length, this will drink very nicely young, with the stuffing to cellar as well.

Tasting, brief note. Charming red and black fruit aromas, more restrained flavors. Good spice. Simple start, more interesting, well textured finish. Good+ for medium-term.

Tasting, brief note. Very reduced aromas now. Red cherry flavors with good length. Seems good+ for its level, but reduction is in the way right now.

Tasting, brief note. From magnum that hadn't been open long. Reductive start made this challenging, but there is fleshy berry flavors with very good concentration. Spice gets past the reduction on finish.

Tasting, brief note. Still in barrel. Red cherry aromas with both red and black cherry flavors. FRuit-driven start with subtle textures. A good Lafarge to drink on the younger side. Good+ for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Also in barrel. Floral and spice start with very ripe red berry and cherry aromas. Red and black fruit array on palate with intense textures, great spice on finish. Patience will be rewarded with 93-94 point potential, 2025 forward.

Tasting, brief note. Bottled 2 weeks ago. Fat, lush fruit-driven start with black and blue berries. Gets rather firm by the finish, making it seem slightly awkward right now, but with good raw materials and most likely also good potential for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Bottled 2 weeks ago. Bigger and denser fruit, slightly more black vs red fruit. Good combination of fruit, spice and minerality with moderate structure. I like the balance here, overall good+ for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Bottled 2 weeks ago. Dark berry, slightly sweet, with good concentration. Subtle spice with good minerality and elegant tannins on medium-long finish. Very good for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Very reductive start. Dense red berry behind that reduction with background spice, some earth. Good enough for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Also showing lots of sulfur aromas so tough to assess nose. Good enough red cherry flavors with firm tannins.

Tasting, brief note. Bland of Taillepieds and Brouillards. Fresh red cherry with spice hints and elegant structure throughout, then slightly firm finish. Good for its level.

Tasting, brief note. Ripe and seemingly lush start with moderate spice. Textures really emerge nicely middle-to-finish. Moderate weight and length, but certainly Good+ for its level.

Nico wanted me to go through the 5 Volnay sequence here, even though I tasted this wine at DIVA yesterday. Worthwhile because I then appreciated the varied expressions of Volnay from the different cuvees.

Tasting, brief note. Red charry and berry aromas, same again on palate with black berry hints. Ripe, fun and forward, with some elegant structure in background. Will drink well young. VG for its level in a few years.

Nico wanted me to go through the 5 Volnay sequence here, even though I tasted this wine at DIVA yesterday. Worthwhile because I then appreciated the varied expressions of Volnay from the different cuvees.

Tasting, brief note. Good fruit intensity but this comes across as somewhat backward and restrained. For whatever reason, I have not enjoyed this vineyard from Nico as much as I enjoy all the others. Other people enjoyed this wine much more than I did today.

Tasting, brief note. Ripe red and black cherry with less spice but great fruit purity. Entirely destemmed. Intense minerality and textural finish that I really enjoy. VG+ 91-93 point potential here for the medium term, 2020-2030+.

Tasting, brief note. Also fully destemmed. Very intense fruit purity here as well. Forward start, textural nuance coming through middle to finish. Good length. Also VG+ for medium-term enjoyment.
