For the last couple years I've always been too busy working to go to bottlerock. So i started "side by side weekend" where I open up a couple different vintages of the same wine. Gives me something to look forward to everyday after sitting on highway 29 for an hour and a half just to get home — 8 years ago

No. 3 in the Chambolle Musigny, Vougeot, and Flagey Echezeaux Grand Cru bracket. Tasted blind. Complete, well balanced, indulgent. Some peppery notes....Clos de Vougeot? Minerally, not much ripe fruit here, Hoisin. Those were my off the cuff notes at the time. I have always struggled with the fact that ALL of Clos Vougeot is classified as Grand Cru. If you have ever visited you will know that the plots on the lower flat near the highway are not of GC standard whereas the upper plots near the Chateau over the road from Musigny have no trouble reaching Grand Cru standard. — 5 years ago
