Burgundy Dinner with Friends (RPM Steak - Chicago IL): Single blind in a great Hubert Lignier flight. Lots here, with robust black and red cherry, rare game sausage, and clearly firm tannins. I thought this was the 2005 1er Cru because it was still so firm, which is more characteristic of 2005 than 2010. Better 2025-2050.

Lignier's 2010 Charmes-Chambertin, which is in fact 100% Mazoyères-Chambertin, has an expressive nose of purple fruit and sois bois. Palate a bit less exciting, mostly minerals. Fine tannins.

Beautiful nose with sweet candied fruit, herbs, underbrush and coffee beans. Light palate for a grand cru. Drinking well nevertheless.

Underbrush, minerals, and dark fruit. Good density but not expressive on the palate. Classic Gevrey. 90-91
