2005 Domaine Joseph Roty Bourgogne Cuvée Pressonnier
6/1/2022 - bertie Likes this wine: 92 Points
Recommended by Bill Nanson of Burgundy Report. This is such a lovely drinkable wine. Don’t think it has a long life left but drinking well now; Pinot purity. Quite a cheesy nose; also notes of Tabasco (identified by someone else). Wonderful relaxed faintly fruity palate. You don’t see much love for Roty but this gives measured (for what it is) pleasure. I would be more than happy to know that I had 20 cases of this (or the equivalent) drinking over the next 20 years. Giving it 92 to signify the pleasure given.

2005 Domaine Louis Boillot et Fils Volnay 1er Cru Les Brouillards
3/21/2020 - bertie Likes this wine: 92 Points
Opened (for comparison) after finishing a bottle of L. Boillot, Gevrey, villages, 2005 (which was absolutely lovely). There are lots of similarities between the wines. As with the Gevrey (see tasting note on cellar tracker), this is well made and lovely. Perhaps less spicy, red fruits still apparent on the palate and I think there is more time left with this wine (a little bit of tannin still evident). So, justifies (?) the 1er cru status in that sense. 92

2005 Domaine Louis Boillot et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin
3/21/2020 - bertie Likes this wine: 92 Points
Absolutely lovely. Faint cinnamon/spice on the nose. Lovely red fruit palate. Very soft/gentle but lovely palate. Not much tannin so no idea how long this will last. Probably at peak but defer to others who know better. 92
