2005 Willi Schaefer Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese
4/1/2024 - LucasTijn Likes this wine: 93 Points
Gorgeous wine. 2005 is a superb vintage for the wines from Graach. Incredibly fresh and youthful, this continued to improve over 5 days. Brilliant balance, elegant and seamless, still quite sweet but well integrated. Lemon, apricot, dried pineapple, honey, Mirabelle plum, mint and touch of quince jam. Long and juicy, maybe not quite at the level of Prüm's 2005 Himmelreich Auslese, but super good.

2016 Domaine Roblet-Monnot Volnay 1er Cru Taillepieds
3/31/2024 - LucasTijn Likes this wine: 94 Points
My first bottle from this producer, after having heard many good things. This wine was terrific, surely among the best Volnay I've had. A very refined and classic Volnay. Flower petals, dung fertilizer, oak, squashed forest berries, cranberry juice, moss, green tea, raspberry cordial, white pepper and a hint of cola. The palate is fine, extremely silky, elegant and balanced. Potentially even higher rating in the future, as this is still clearly very young.

2020 Domaine Jean-Claude Bachelet et Fils Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Le Charmois Blanc
3/31/2024 - LucasTijn Likes this wine: 91 Points
2020 white Burgundies seem to be extremely safe buys. I liked the older vintages I've tried from J C bachelet, but haven't tried them in a long time. This was a great St Aubin, much better than I had anticipated really! Slight popcorn, butter, white chocolate, ripe peach, vanilla, pear and melon sorbet. The longer it sits in the glass, the more precise, stony, and acidic it becomes. Wonderfully textural and quite complex. A great St Aubin.
