Domaine Leflaive
Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay 1990
Domaine de Montille
Les Taillepieds Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 1996
30 years. Fresh and bright out of the gate. Some cherry, quite acidic. Chalky. So for a good hour I was thinking man - great vintage, site and wine maker but was not really convinced. 12 hours later the wine is still in the same spot now with some oxygen. Basically I expect old burghs to be unique - rare one offs with secondary flavor profiles (what was that?) - this was not it. Classic may be - but not more. I would argue drink this up more years will not make a difference. — 2 months ago
Hubert Lamy
En Remilly Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Chardonnay 2023
A property I have visited. This cuvée has traditionally been one off my favorites from this producer.
Not what I expected. First off vintage of the vineyard and producer I love. A bit too lean. — 3 months ago
Comte Armand
Clos des Epeneaux Monopole Pommard 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2010
Pale to mid Ruby. A sooty earthy savoury red fruited note with raspberry and new leather. The palate is reserved yet with M+ intensity. Delicate yet assertive. Still very fresh for its age. Elegant with enough palate weight to make it totally enjoyable. Benjamin Leroux was the winemaker who has gone on to more accolades with his own label. Jasper Morris thought that this was the best wine made by Benjamin Leroux during his 14 year tenure at Domaine du Comte Armand. Would go on for several more years if you were lucky enough to be holding some. Pommard is another commune which has no Grand Crus but this must be one of the best Premier Crus. I concur with Jasper Morris MW when he had a bottle of this very wine with friends when he said “we were very sad to finish the bottle “. My son Hugh bought this wine for me from Sotheby’s NY in December 2013 and brought it home in his luggage for Christmas that year and I am so glad he did. This is one of the 1001 Wines. — 4 months ago
Domaine Leflaive
Clavoillon Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2010
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2010 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru “Clavoillon” pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with powerful notes of green apple, tropical fruit, stone fruit, lemon meringue, white flowers, nuts and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and slightly savory. Again, we were spared from premox; hallelujah! When Leflaive hits, it’s amongst the best in Burgundy. Drink now through 2035. — a month ago

Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey
La Chatenière Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Chardonnay 2017
More delicate than fulsome. Definitely more citrus than stone fruit. Palate intensity is medium plus - some mineral and spice. A classy bottle of white burgundy. The trademark heavy bottle from PYCM. — 2 months ago
Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey
Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 2013
Stunner. Needs air as all PYCM does but it’s electric tonight, layered and complete with killer density, definition and massive length on the saline-mineral inflicted finish. Special wine! — 2 months ago
Domaine Faiveley (Joseph Faiveley)
Clos des Cortons Faiveley Monopole Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2018
Great wine. Will improve but not a bad time to open. Aromatics started with a distinctive smoky or reductive note that I couldn’t quite place but dissipated and morphed. Good structure. — 2 months ago
Louis Jadot
Domaine des Héritiers Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 2022
Yellow with aromas of dandelion, pear, steely minerality, and candied apple. Nice acidity, long finish, and luscious. Flavors of candied apple and grassy notes. Wonderful! — 2 months ago
