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
Pierre Péters
Cuvée de Réserve Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru Champagne Chardonnay
Crisp, citrusy and with great acidity and freshness. This is one of the best and finest blanc de blancs from an independent grower we know: Rodolphe Peters does truly great champagne. — 8 months ago

Domaine Henri Boillot
Clos de la Mouchère Monopole Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2022
Bottle seems too advanced. Color more like a 10 year old wine. Unmoved — 4 months ago
Domaine Armand Rousseau
Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2012
Pair of 12’s with the Rousseau showing more finesse & floral than the Roumier that will need more time — 6 months ago
Domaine Georges Roumier
Chambolle-Musigny Pinot Noir 2022
Medium dark rubi robe, nose of dark cherries, spices and a hit of cloves and flowers. Oh so good in the mouth, medium bodied, complex, flowery and with some vanilla from the barriques. Fantastic. Roumier has gotten better over the years. — 8 months ago

Twenty-five years as a stubborn tart, she has finally expressed on taste what the nose and ruby color suggested for much of her path. Pleasant 1er to enjoy for at least a decade. — 3 months ago
