Nice red fruit & cherry nose, balance, well structure with medium body. A well made red, an interesting Meursault rouge, but not an exciting wine as all those Coche-Dury white.

Pop and pour. Great Coche Dury nose of popcorn, nutty and hint of honey. Wonderful minerals, intensity and depth. This is a great Meursault village wine, ready to drink with everything you want from a Coche Dury. The intensity didn't drop a bit for the whole night (4 hrs), a powerful wine.

A relatively cool and elegance Coche Dury Meursault with good concentration and complexity. A fine and wonderful Perrieres and should improve after a few more year of aging.

Lucky to try this wine together with a few other Coche. This wine is young & fresh, only open up after 3 hrs. Wonderful Coche Dury nutty nose. Great concentration with a dense body, an impressive Corton with good mineral and long finish.

Amazing floral, spicy, dark fruit aroma, with wonderful layers, intensity, well balance and a long finish. This might be a 100 pointer wine that got downgraded but I think it is still an exceptional Cheval Blanc.

Disgorged 2014 April. Wonderful floral nose, nutty and intense. We think that this bottle can't really open up fully, but it has a wonderful layers and finesse. Drinking like a fine Grand Cru Burgundy.

Tasted blind. Wonderful floral nose, elegance, ripe fruit and transparency. Never realize Clos du Chateau has this much weight and depth. Beautiful wine.

Pure and elegance. Drinking very well but lacking of the weight of a Corton Charlemagne, perhaps it required a few more years. A wine with good potential.

A classic Graves nose, blackberry, smoky and earthy. Solid body, ripe and soft tannin. The wine still has ageing potential and easily age for another 10-15 years.

Floral, ripe and concentration. Good complexity and depth. I found 2003 vintage burgundy quite enjoyable at the moment but some might found it lack of transparency and acidity. I would love to revisit this wine in a few years.

Dark ruby red, ripe dark fruit nose and good weight. Tasted it blind, guessed it was a new world pinot and a bit Rhone like in style. Good intensity, lots of dark fruit, sweet and high alcohol.

Drank this together with the Griotte Chambertin, this bottle is as rich and oaky at the moment. Couldn't open up after a few hours of decanting. Should give it some more time before revisiitng again.

Earthy, dark fruit, intense aroma. Rich, dusty and a bit oak. This wine has a good potential and quite backward, it can't open up the whole night and I think it will require some more paitent perhaps revisit 5 years later.

Never disappointed by 02 Jadot Montrachet and the wine keeps on improving. A bit reserve at the beginning and opened up after an hour with wonderful nose, good weight and depth. The wine still needs a few more years.
