  One of the best vinatage, even better than the 2015. Combining intensity with graceful elegance. Drink 2025 onwards.

  Very deep color, almost opaque magenta. Powerful aromatics with ripe red strawberry and raspberry dominating. Fragrant red roses too. Wonderful concentration. Richly textured palate with the same ripe fruits coming through here too. A very long, vibrant finish. Despite all the rich fruits, in no way does this seem heavy or out of balance. There is fantastic energy all throughout here.

  Barrel tasting at Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg (Vosne Romanee): A more penetrating and enthralling nose here with layers of red strawberry and raspberry fruit, with some leather, clay earth and spice notes. Once again a silkiness on the palate with some ferrous textural complexity. Rich but perfectly balanced and nearly weightless into a long finish. A smashing 2018 1er. 93-95

  Burgundy, Day 3 (Beaune, France): Barrel sample. This will be the first wine to be bottled (next Monday). This was also the highest alcohol wine of the stable, at 14.2%. This was also a very difficult wine, as there was a stuck alcoholic fermentation that didn't finish until December. Nevertheless, none of the the issues show up on the palate at all, and it's clear that this still stays quite close to its Chambolle origins. The fruit, while a little polished and glossy, is clearly red-inflected with a distinct strawberry and raspberry tone. It's the wine that the sisters are most proud of, given the difficulties in creating it. Marie-Andrée quipped that when she first started making wine, she was afraid "it would be the same thing each year". The reality, of course, couldn't have been more different.

  9 barrels produced. 50% new oak. Many Chambolle Musigny I have tasted from 2018 tasted rich and masculine, very un-Chambolle-esque, this was one of them. A dark and complex array of ripe blackberries, concentrated cherry, earthy black truffles and deep-pitched spices. Full bodied and intense with high alcohol mouthfeel, 14.5%. Juicy with an amazing nose but a bit too alcoholic. (88/100)
