Contrary to the others I felt this was from a warmer year. Guessed 2009 Chassagne since it didn’t have the characteristics of a Meursault or Puligny. Quite round but still yellow-fruited compared to the 2011 which was more tropical. Good acidity at the start but became flabbier with air. Think Lamy prices for these more basic cuvées are out of whack.

My vintage guess again was contrary to the table. Guessed a cooler year like 2013 while the others thought warmer, but I didn't figure out this was the same wine as the first. Richer and more tropical fruit than the 2009 but there was an underlying leanness to this. Others liked this more than I did, felt this was overworked.

Guessed a young Puligny from 2018 since it felt like it was from a warm, ripe year. Lots of unintegrated oak but I think this will be a good wine once everything comes together. Enjoyed the zesty fruit that was clearly of very good quality.

Thought this showed quite similarly to the O. Leflaive with a creamy texture and citrus fruit so I guessed 2014 Puligny. Well-integrated at this stage save for a slight sweetness on the finish. I love Drouhin’s reds but should seek out their whites too, they are decidedly old-school in the rounder style without being too heavy.

Under DIAM. Brought for a friend, paired this with the Niellon to compare if plot or producer would prevail. Classically proportioned white Burgundy that was well-resolved. Green apple fruit with a slightly bitter finish. Even split among the table but I preferred the Niellon.

My contribution. Paired this with the Pillot to compare if plot or producer would prevail. Niellon has a bad rep for overdoing it on the oak but think they’ve dialled back in recent vintages. Liked how this straddled new and old-school well. A balanced, quintessential white Burgundy that is ready to go.

Brought for a friend. Rich, old-school white Burgundy that was too heavy-handed and exotic for me. Dominant honey, nutty and apricot notes, showed the heat of 2009. Would drink these up as this was before Jadot switched to DIAM.

Brought for a friend. Combined weight with tension and minerality. Another 2017 that had superb balance. Second favourite on the night.

Unsurprisingly premoxed.

Guessed 2018 new-school Meursault from a top quality maker in the Pierre Girardin vein so was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be a Lafon. Attractive gunflint notes on the nose, zesty lemon fruit with sharp acidity. Fantastic length. Superbly balanced and a very generous pull. WOTN for me and a few others.

A generous extra red. Guessed 2011/13 since it came across as a cool vintage Gevrey. Rather stemmy with five spice and savoury notes. It did become more elegant with air but was rather rustic for a H-N.
