Vieilles Vignes La Combe d'Orveaux Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2017

I reckon BH’s notes on this are pretty spot on for my experience (expect the part on the Noirots), so here it is:

“Once again, there is a subtle though not invisible application of wood that still easily allows the airy, cool and restrained aromas of various red berries, and in particular cherry, floral and a mildly exotic whiff of dried orange peel. The energetic and beautifully well-detailed middle weight flavors are much finer if less powerful than those of the Noirots while display notably more minerality as well on the compact, serious and built-to-age finale. This is a wine of finesse and refinement but the flavor authority is impressive as is the tannic spine.”

WOTN for most I believe. Showed well with air, but clearly some tightness at the start. Loved the energy here. Very promising!

Clos St. Jacques Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2012

Solid CSJ, widely considered a Grand Cru equivalent. But for those who wonder if Fourrier and Rousseau’s CSJ’s are that much better to be more than double the price, the answer is yes. — 2 years ago

Always a classic. Still a (relative) value. Balance, structure, texture, tension, integration and length. Just great winemaking. Benchmark Chard. — 9 months ago

Meursault-Perrières 1er Cru Chardonnay 2014

gorgeous soft lemon oil and chalkiness. Quite intense and with a real minerality and white pepper. Very pretty fruit but quite angular and will develop a long way from here. — 9 months ago

Super soft for some reason. Lots of vanilla almost like it was really Napa Valley Oaked up which seems unlikely given large boti? — 7 years ago

Les Champs Perdrix Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2012

Not a 1er Cru, but it should be! Lovely Vosne. Velvet, sappy cherry fruit with Vosne spice. Hints of vanilla and stones. A whiff of oak char on the nose, but less so on the palate. Decanted for 2 hours prior to consumption. — 3 years ago
