    December 3, 2021 - Tasted blind. Discrete citrus and flint nose on the foreground. Light palate, village or max 1er level. Felt more Puligny than Chassagne.

    May 4, 2020 - Two days later from memory. As part of a recent auction coup, I ended up with a case of this and another H-L wine reviewed several days ago. Won't repeat myself other than to say I'm equally pleased with each of them. Since this is from memory it will be short, which I think might be an apt description in general.

    A palish gold color, it seemed less open and ripe than the Morgeot but made up for it in its sleek and attractive racy and more mineral profile. As a result and I'm splitting hairs, I got the sense the Tete du Clos would take more time and would ultimately produce a more elegant and nuanced wine. I'd love to know it was a little higher up the slope or what part of the terroir was most responsible for the subtle but meaningful differences. Don't get me wrong, I found it lipsmackingly good right now but part of that is my high tolerance for acid.

    Being your faithful correspondent, after posting the note I checked the importer's very helpful website. The tech sheets appear to give me all I need to confirm my hypotheses, though of course I could be completely misinterpreting. The Morgeot vines are 15 years old and the Tete are 68. Tete planted about 10 meters higher up on more stony limestone. Of course, I wish I had the chance to do more side-by-side comparisons of this nature. It's really a great way to learn, especially when all the data about the wines are so readily accessible. Wouldn't it be more fun at the winery? Maybe next year...

    February 5, 2019 - Chassagne 1er tete du clos
    Nyansert. Beskjeden også i munn. Elegant. Kompleks og detaljert, men litt stum. Flott mellomparti og avslutning. 91-92
