Nice lineup! Are you doing the Mikulski Meursault tasting next Saturday?
@Byron Hewett No, is that a National tasting opportunity? I'll have to ask our officers if it was something we could have availed ourselves to...
I thought so, but I could be wrong.
Bonneau du Martray
Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 2008
Had that exact bottle a few months back and it is drinking so well. Good on you!
@Michael Herzog This is really great stuff, had the 2000 on release, and that bottle sent me into a love affair with white Burgundy. Just wish it wasn't getting so damn pricey.

@Ira Schwartz red fruit was generous with a hint of leather, but really needed a big glass and a lot of time to get going, not peak yet IMO. I generally like how '04's are doing now, and this was a very nice bottle last night. I think overpriced though. No green notes to speak of.
@Severn Goodwin appreciate the insights . Funny I had my friend buy it after another friend told me no green to speak of. I think he paid about $180. Imo that was “reasonable” .
After he generously shared a bottle with with me I felt good about my suggesting he purchase.

You are a lucky one to taste this, I think $180 is reasonable as well, just for this experience, I thought the Volnay & Gevrey ('08's) paired on either side of this bottle at our dinner were more generous in the voluptuous fruit category, and both were lower cost. I've also had several of the Hudelot-Noëllat '04's in the past, I'd recommend those as well.

Domaine Jean Grivot
Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2005
@Pinotman /// Andreas Fully accessible tonight, just a great bottle.
Big gun. You really pulled some amazing Producers!
Yes, the club has some amazing wine in the cellar.
Domaine Olivier Guyot
Clos St. Denis Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2006
Haven’t had this Producer in a while but I did really like his wines.
I was very gentle and enjoyable, I can't touch S-D wines young, they are much to closed for business.
I opened an 08 of this relatively recently (pop and pour) and it was singing...
