Walk around tasting. Very big and very ripe. This doesn't start out saying "Chablis" to me, but the energy comes back to its terroir by the finish. Good now.

93 points
Walk around tasting. Great nose shows both sweet and tart character in wonderful equilibrium. Similar on palate with good+ weight and length. Another 2013 that is much better now vs when released. This will age gracefully.

93 points
Walk around tasting. Not really accessible right now (still slightly reduced?), but so much here. Subdued aromas, then richer on palate with lemon zest, lemon curd and faint tropical hints. Structure slightly obscures the flavors today, better 2025 forward, 93+ point potential, just not there yet.

White
2010 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault 1er Cru Charmes France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru
94 points
Walk around tasting. Ever-so-tasty, slightly lacking in vibrancy at present. Big and delicious stone fruit with apple notes, lots here, but are the bones here, too? Great now (like previous bottles), so not worth the risk of further cellaring

89 points

White
2013 Domaine Matrot Meursault 1er Cru Blagny France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru

Walk around tasting vertical. Mature and tasty, certainly still good, but time to drink up. I obviously do not know if some bottles were opened and tired, so not served, which would not surprise me.

Red
2020 Domaine Dandelion Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Nature France, Burgundy, Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune
87 points
Walk around tasting vertical. No SO2, 100% whole cluster. Very tasty with slightly jammy character. Slightly simple, but balanced with reasonable length, so this might broaden and pick up depth with a few years in bottle. 87-88 point potential.

Red
2010 Simon Bize Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Aux Vergelesses France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru

89 points
Walk around tasting vertical. Also still firm, but much more accessible than 2010 (surprising / rare), with lots of ripe, fleshy, dense fruit start-to-finish. Better from 2029.

Red
2013 Nicolas Rossignol Volnay 1er Cru Les Chevrets France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru
89 points
Walk around tasting vertical. October harvest, remember those? Lots of red fruit with just enough ripeness. Volnay floral and spice hints from middle-to-finish. Time in bottle has helped bring out Volnay terroir. I like this more now vs when last tasted in 2016.
Red
2011 Nicolas Rossignol Volnay 1er Cru Les Chevrets France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay 1er Cru
90 points

Flight 18 - Domaine Chanterêves (3 notes)

Red
2018 Domaine Chanterêves Volnay Les Lurets France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay
Walk around tasting vertical. Big red fruit seems so fun and accessible already, but clearly not simple. So many 2018s are not even close to accessible, but this is charming, even if just hinting at its potential, 91-92 points.
Red
2017 Domaine Chanterêves Volnay Les Lurets France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Volnay
90 points
Walk around tasting vertical. Elegant and lighter styled while wonderfully balanced. Fun and easy right now.

Red
2011 Pierre Morey Pommard 1er Cru Les Grands Épenots France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard 1er Cru
87 points
Walk around tasting vertical. Leaner with good enough weight, but the structure is at least as prominent as the fruit.
Red
2005 Pierre Morey Pommard 1er Cru Les Grands Épenots France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard 1er Cru
91 points
Walk around tasting vertical. Big and dense black fruit, lots of concentration, lots of structure. I do not know when this will emerge from its dormancy, but there is enough stuffing to last until whenever. I think this has 91-92 potential, and will guess from 2030.

Red
2017 Domaine Y. Clerget Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard 1er Cru

Red
2016 Domaine Y. Clerget Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard 1er Cru
Walk around tasting vertical. Much bigger structure, fruit, and concentration. Lots here, very good potential, but not in the near future, probably needs until 2030 or later, 91-92 point potential.
Red
2015 Domaine Y. Clerget Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard 1er Cru
Walk around tasting vertical. Powerful black fruit, even more firm than the 2015, but probably even greater density. I like the potential more today than when last tasted in 2018, but think this still needs another decade+ in the cellar, 90-92 point potential. That's what to expect from good Pommard Rugiens.

Flight 21 - Domaine Chandon de Briailles (3 notes)

Red
2011 Domaine Chandon de Briailles Corton-Bressandes France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru

90 points
Walk around tasting. Plenty of red cherry, nothing bitter or green, but certainly still firm. That said, there is a lot here, so this manages to retain its balance with good+ depth, this is good now.
Red
2009 Faiveley Echezeaux France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Walk around tasting vertical. Ripe fresh and dried red cherry and berry with savory spice. Enticing aromas, then bigger and fleshier on palate that will merit a few more years in the back of the cellar. 92-93+ point potential.
Red
2007 Faiveley Mazis-Chambertin France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru
91 points
Walk around tasting vertical. Great olfactory start with savory spice, roasted meat, black and red cherry. Similar flavor profile, just less robust and not quite showing Grand Cru density to me. Good length. Good now.

Red
2008 Domaine du Comte Liger-Belair Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brûlées France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
92 points
Walk around tasting. Magnum. Less forward than the 2010 or 2012, this seemed less "Liger-Belair" to me with a slightly firm, backward character, even with plenty of cherry throughout.

Red
2017 Alain Hudelot-Noëllat Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
92 points
Walk around tasting. Ripe red fruit with an old vine concentration that adds lots of intensity. Subtle spice trying to break through, with structure in the near background, this has lots in reserve, even while balanced now. More may emerge with cellar time.

Walk around tasting. So 2005 with so much fruit, so much concentration, so much tannin, but not lots of pleasure, at least right now. But lots here, and I am confident this will be a great wine...someday. 2030 forward?

Walk around tasting. Charming and layered black fruits on nose and palate, not a powerhouse but charming and engaging now. Approachable now.

Walk around tasting. Rich and ripe black cherry and plum with meaty character. Very balanced and even-keeled through to its long finish. A very approachable 2009 that is already so fun now, but certainly with further upside.

Walk around tasting. Drinking beautifully right now, with black cherry, meat, and earth. This is classic great Gevrey 1er Cru.

Walk around tasting. Stunning brightness with red and black cherry. Good volume, nearly weightless textures, very long finish. Great now, with upside.

2013 Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg Ruchottes-Chambertin France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru
Walk around tasting. Lean, bigger than 2014, but less bright or vibrant. This will reward a few more years in the cellar, 92-93 point potential.

Walk around tasting. My first time tasting since at the domaine in 2010. Black and red cherry is simultaneously bright and fresh fruit as well as gracefully maturing with sauvage and leather. So much here, this is at a wonderful place right now.
