  Grandes Maisons Grands Crus - Grands Jours de Bourgogne 2024 (Santenay): This was really elegant for a Montrachet, nothing heavy here, composed and fresh. Really nice, aromatically not really that much ahead (at least at this stage) of the Corton Charlemagne served at the same event.

  Double decanted about an hour prior to serving in a double blind Montrachet tasting. Took a while to open up. Somewhat reticent nose initially, with characteristic pineapple and coconut. Incredibly intense palate with excellent acid, texture and forever length. Plenty in the tank for the long haul. Overall, while young, a stunningly good bottle of wine.
  
  WOTN was 2014 Bouchard, whose wonderful aromatics set it apart.

  Magnificent Montrachet (Hong Kong): Composed of two vineyards: Montrachet and Le Montrachet, which lies at the mid-slope of the 5 Grands Crus. Vineyards shared by Puligny-Montrachet (Montrachet) and Chassagne-Montrachet (Le Montrachet).
  
  Owned originally by the marquis since 1390 and carefully managed by Douhin using biodynamic techniques. Unique soil of brown and red earth, marl, clay, limestone and pebbles.
  
  Wine 15-18 months in 25% new oak.
  
  Med lemon in glass. Took quite a while to open and was certainly on the upside when we finished the glass. Nose took on elements of eucalyptus from soil, minty with almonds. Ripe tropical fruit owning to hot summer vintage. A “textural richness” including pineapple, peach, exotic fruit.
  
  High acidity on the palate with a long, fruity finish. This is a very young wine - frankly too young now. I would wait before opening as there is indeed a lot going on here but not yet integrated. It will likely be incredible.

  Dégustation des Joseph Drouhin 2020 (Av. de la Résistance, Beaune): Dense et élégant à la fois. C'est droit, concentré, mais d’une texture élégante, montrant beaucoup de classe. Profondeur et longueur sont exceptionnelles. Un vin de texture, lumineux, absolument superbe. 96+ pts
