White
2017 Domaine Des Niales Mâcon-Villages France, Burgundy, Mâconnais, Mâcon-Villages
Rather reluctantly gives up aromas of apricot, tomato leaf, and a hint of minerals. Crisp on the palate, more minerals than fruit. Slightly thin textural quality.
White
2018 Jacques Bavard Bourgogne Blanc France, Burgundy, Bourgogne Blanc
Very shy. Green apples, leaves, hint of minerals. Oily texture, sweet green apples on the palate, with minerality through the finish.
White
2016 Faiveley Chassagne-Montrachet France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet

Red
2017 Alain Corcia Bourgogne France, Burgundy, Bourgogne
Aromas of stewed strawberries, raspberries, game and florality with just a hint of oak. Tart on the palate, minerally/metallic. Would be best with rich food.
Red
2016 Château de la Charrière Pommard Les Vignots France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard
Sweet red plums, toast, red currant, hint of dill. Tight, but bright. red fruit with a spicy finish. Very promising, but needs 5-7 years in the cellar.
Red
2016 Louis Jadot Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Ursules Domaine des Héritiers Louis Jadot France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Beaune 1er Cru
Red currant, blackberry, cardamom, caramel, hint of dill. Tart red fruit and earth on the palate. Still very tightly wound.
Red
2016 Domaine Trapet Gevrey-Chambertin France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin
Cherry, oak, allspice, cinnamon. Tight, closed, young. Will require several more years to show what it really is.
Red
2016 Domaine Pierre Gelin Chambertin-Clos de Bèze France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru
Caramel, dill, cherry, red currant, baking spices, lots of wood notes. Already really lovely and smooth, despite its youth and lack of integration. Needs more time.
