Introduction

Digitizing old hasty notes to throw away piles of paper. Really, really hasty tasting impressions.

Flight 1 (45 notes)

White - Sparkling
2008 Jean Noel Gagnard Crémant de Bourgogne Grand Lys France, Burgundy, Crémant de Bourgogne
Tasting, hasty impression. Super toasty and fizzy, good cut through heavy brioche. Pretty darn good. Too big?
White - Sparkling
N.V. Domaine des Baumard Crémant de Loire Carte Turquoise France, Loire Valley, Crémant de Loire
Tasting, hasty impression. Becch! Bad Chenin-y, not for me, lacks cut!
White - Sparkling
N.V. Pierre Sparr Crémant d'Alsace Marquis de Perlade Blanc de Blancs Brut France, Alsace, Crémant d'Alsace
Tasting, hasty impression. Nose of sewage/weed? Not showing well right now!
White - Sparkling
N.V. Domaine de la Louvetrie (Landron & Fils) Atmosphéres France, Vin de Table Français
Tasting, hasty impression. Weedy nose, sort of fun, but not a fully developed wine to drink at this point that can sustain interest? Sort of clean but plain. I suppose it's nice anyhow.
Red
2007 Luciano Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
Tasting, hasty impression. Big super drying and tannic but seriously delicious, big ol' juicy tire earthiness, great wine.
White
2008 Domaine des Baumard Savennières France, Loire Valley, Anjou-Saumur, Savennières
Tasting, hasty impression. Nose is very green and sweet violet; palate is weird, oxidative violet and thin green? Not showing well today.
Red
2007 Château du Trignon Gigondas France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Gigondas
Tasting, hasty impression. Comes across as more early drinking, modern crap. Hot burn on the finish. Pass.
Red
2009 Domaine du Vieux Lazaret Châteauneuf-du-Pape France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Tasting, hasty impression. Comes across as modern, early-drinking crap. Not built to age? Hot a bit, boring to my palate.
Red
2010 Domaine de Villeneuve Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Vieilles Vignes France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Tasting, hasty impression. This wine is okay. Neither offensive nor impressive at this early juncture.
Red
2010 Jean-Michel Stephan Côte-Rôtie France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Côte-Rôtie
Tasting, hasty impression. Nose comes across as a super natural, anti SO4, flower poop sort of thing. Palate offers olive tapenade and lily.
White
2010 Jean-Claude Bessin Chablis Vieilles Vignes France, Burgundy, Chablis
Tasting, hasty impression. Wow, big seashell, thick but tasty, not too acid. I like it!
White
2010 Jean-Claude Bessin Chablis Grand Cru Valmur France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis Grand Cru
Tasting, hasty impression. Initial tangy, acid green nose. Not much seashell aromatically...still great.
White

Tasting, hasty impression. Rich but weightless; nice use of oak. I like it.
White

White
2009 Domaine Michel Lafarge Meursault France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault
Tasting, hasty impression. Not very complex or expressive?
Red
2010 Domaine Michel Lafarge Bourgogne Passetoutgrains L'Exception France, Burgundy, Bourgogne Passetoutgrains
Tasting, hasty impression. Very green palate! Refreshing, though.
Red
2010 Comte Armand Pommard 1er Cru Clos des Epeneaux France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard 1er Cru
Tasting, hasty impression. Tight cherry; tire, rubber; light and lithe. A noble vineyard indeed, rendering a noble wine.
White
2010 Domaine Bruno Clair Marsannay Blanc France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Marsannay
Tasting, hasty impression. 20% Pinot Blanc. Nice, the acid refreshes with a touch of oaky spice.
Red

Red

2011 Roger Lassarat Saint Véran Cuvée Plaisir France, Burgundy, Mâconnais, Saint Véran
Tasting, hasty impression. Ick! Peanutty nose. I'll pass. This is allegedly emblematic of underripe fruit.
White
2010 Françoise & Denis Clair Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Les Champlots Blanc France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Saint-Aubin 1er Cru
Tasting, hasty impression. Nice; oak and spice and green. Hard not to swallow; tasty! The oak-inflected spice brings to mind cinnamon tea a bit?
White
2010 Domaine Patrick Javillier Bourgogne Blanc Cuvée des Forgets France, Burgundy, Bourgogne Blanc
Tasting, hasty impression. Round, friendly, oak present; well-balanced. Solid wine.
Red
2010 Domaine Patrick Javillier Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Grands Liards France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune

Tasting, hasty impression. Light color; very acid and strawberry.
White

Tasting, hasty impression. Meh, too much oak on nose. Tangy acid; meh.
White
2010 Pierre Morey Meursault France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault
Tasting, hasty impression. Better than Bourgogne, okay, but: still too oaky?
Red
2010 Pierre Morey Monthélie France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Monthélie
Tasting, hasty impression. Served way too cold; still oaky, tannic and biting; not generous. Second warmer glass: bitey, woody a bit, green a bit. More expressive. Will be good with time I'd wager.
White
2010 Morey-Blanc Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Blanc France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Saint-Aubin 1er Cru
Tasting, hasty impression. Big oak presence but better than previous Morey whites, great refreshing acid.

Tasting, hasty impression. Tasty. Big oak presence but a very classy wine.
White

Red
2009 Château de Puligny-Montrachet Monthélie France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Monthélie

Red

Tasting, hasty impression. Not bad, a bit one-dimensional; wonder about aging potential?
White

White
2008 Deux Montille Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Sous Frétille Blanc France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru
Tasting, hasty impression. Nice: oak tactile, but a friendly attack and palate. A bit monolithic though, but a classic white Burg.
White
2010 Domaine de Montille Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Le Cailleret France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru
Tasting, hasty impression. Wow, this is delicious, but wow, is it ever expensive. Clearly an overperforming 1er cru, but still.
Red
2010 Domaine de Montille Beaune 1er Cru Les Sizies France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru
Tasting, hasty impression. Young and savage, cedar nose a bit, but light and this will be very nice once ready!
Red
2010 Domaine Michel Gros Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits France, Burgundy, Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits
Tasting, hasty impression. Light, acid, bacon, raspberry fruit, nice!
Red
2010 Domaine Michel Gros Nuits St. Georges France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges
