Volnay Pinot Noir 2018

Very cherry. Black dark cherries. Nice wine. Touch blackberry. Polished and well made. Quite tannic give it 2-3 more years .Well done but overpriced. I think it lacks character. Just not unique enough for me - more a middle of the road Burgh. — 4 months ago

Montrachet Grand Cru Chardonnay 2011

at first a bit fat and even clumsy next to PYCM, after an hour it was a different and amazing wine. The depth! The fruit! — 6 months ago

Désirée Meursault Chardonnay 2014

Grand Finale bottle with Madi in NYC. Had high hopes for throttle given the vintage but didn’t really have the fruit for it to hold up. Searing acid and nuclear reduction which I love but just savory notes. — 8 months ago

Le Monsard Mâcon-Bussières Chardonnay 2020

Comte Lafon Macon Chardonnays are great wines at excellent prices. Tart green apple, hint of lemon zest, wet rock. Med + acidity. Crisp, acidic and shows just how good chardonnay can be. — 9 months ago

Chevalières Meursault Chardonnay 2018

Good Friday also means white burgundy x 2. 2nd bottle of the night and this Meursault compared really well to Lafon. More richness and depth to this and a touch of sweetness really finished the meal off right. Excited for the other Germain’s I just got — 3 years ago

Les Pelerins de Lafon-Rochet St. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2016

Decanted an hour or so, almost black with plummy fruits good balance and nice length and aftertaste
I’m giving this 2nd Lafon Rochet wine 91 pts and gradually this wine is getting attention as important improvements are carried out at this estate

Bourgogne Chardonnay 2021

Despite being ‚just‘ a Bourgogne this is excellent although at 43$ not cheap for a Bourgogne. No formal notes but trust me this is excellent. It’s a 1er Cru level wine at a very reasonable price point. Grapes are from Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet. Whole cluster pressed. So the wine is complex. Great texture! — 5 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. — 8 months ago

Clos du Four Mâcon-Milly-Lamartine Chardonnay 2020

Killer Macon Chardonnay. Tart green apple, wet rock, hint of lemon zest, used oak? Have had several bottles already. Will age well but can’t keep my hands off of it. Crisp acidity. Way over delivers for a Macon Chard. — 4 months ago

Meursault-Porusots 1er Cru Chardonnay

More advanced than the last bottle, initially I thought too advanced… but credit to the Somm at The Modern for talking me off the metaphorical ledge. Developed nicely in glass, more honey than creaminess. Wouldn’t give bottles any more time. — 4 months ago
