SLDS December 2017: Raspberry, redcurrant and blueberry with some violets as well. Sweet fruited on the palate, this is extremely youthful but does manage to show some charm as well. It should pick up more texture and depth as time goes on, so let it sleep for the moment.

Yearly Vogüé tasting with Jean – Luc Pépin from Comte de Vogüé and great Swedish importer “Tryffelsvinet”. Amazing nose rises from the glass! Clean and airy, red florals with deep notes of ripe cherries, raspberries, sun ripe red berry mix, lots of dusty stony minerals. Palate is, just as the village Chambolle, very open and flirty at this stage. Really clean, with loads of sun ripe berries, strawberries and cherries, some bay fat showing, touch of dry stone dust combined with fat chalky lime stone. Very long and well-structured finish with lovely spices present. With more time some red currants and a touch of lovely pomegranate showed too. Again, simply a great showing of this 1:er Cru made from young Musigny grapes. The only thing that speaks against this perhaps being one of the best vintages of this wine made are the low acidity, that in the end might not let this develop all the way. This will, despite the somewhat lower acidity level, keep and develop for many more years, so no worries, the structure and depth is in there, believe me. After all, you can enjoy Musigny Grand Cru for 1/3 of the price of the Musigny labeled bottles, and at a quality much better than some of the Musigny producers that sell their at not as good as this bottles at much higher prices. Best deal out there I would say! (93 – 95+)

Most Excellent Friday Cellar Visits in Burgundy - Domaine Leflaive and Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé (Cote d'Or): Barrel tasting at the domaine. 2015s have barely started ML, but malic acid is approximately 1/3 normal levels, making these far more accessible than in most vintages. Great cross-section of ripe black fruit aromas and flavors. Lots of spice throughout. Precocious and probably accessible young, like the Chambolle Villages, but also with lots of elegant structure. VG+ potential for its level.

La Paulée de San Francisco - Grand Tasting (The Fairmont - San Francisco CA): Tasting, brief note. Similar profile to the Chambolle, but slightly bigger and slightly backward. More red vs black fruit with very good spice. Texturally exciting finish. 92-93 point potential.

Delicious, dark slightly reserved fruit (relative to regular Chambolle), excellent balance.

Some Wines from the 2018 La Paulée Grand Tasting of 2015 Burgundy (The Fairmont, San Francisco): Slightly less saturated and lighter weight than the AC Chambolle. Very different profile as well-black fruited, cranberry, much earthier. God, this is very fine and gives a glimpse into what the Musigny is like. Built to age slowly (let's say over the next 15 years or so).

Complex and layered. It has notes of pomegranate and cherry and plenty of mineral. It really builds through the palate and has superb potential.
