Mazoyères-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2017

En mazoyeres Charmes Chambertin. Muscular, fruit forward, testimony that although most Charmes doesn’t justify grand cru status this one clearly does. Fabulous fruit. — 4 years ago

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 2013

One of the premier young wine makers in Burgundy, a bit of a quiet nose but rich and almost oily on the palate with lots of weight. Minerals, exotic citrus and hints of whipped cream and smoke. — 7 years ago

Les Champeaux Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2016

Not Champeaux but Les Golouts. In any case, a stunner. Wild raspberries, roses, cherries on the nose. The red berries continue on the palate. Beautiful acidity.

The kind of wine that makes you want to cry when you smell it.

La Piece Sous le Bois Blagny 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2017

Wow! J'ai recherché la cuvée après avoir entendu Benjamin Leroux en parler dans le podcast de Levi Dalton (I'll drink to that). Il était particulièrement enthousiaste pour ce climat en altitude (pour la Bourgogne, on s'entend), lequel est très majoritairement occupé par des vignes de Chardonnay (Meursault). Selon lui, le réchauffement climatique en fait un terroir idéal pour le pinot. Je dois lui donner raison avec ce 2017. Quel beau vin! Robe translucide et pâle, arômes dégourdis, de fruit, mais aussi de fleurs et de fines épices. En bouche, l'attaque est riche et de bonne concentration. La transition en milieu de bouche amène la fraîcheur et un côté minéral. Cette acidité porte le vin dans une longue finale. Les tanins sont nombreux et fins. Le vin est accessible, mais je crois qu'il a ce qu'il faut pour évoluer harmonieusement. J'ai beaucoup aimé et je le recommande vivement. — 5 years ago

Cuvée Clos des Avaux Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2017

Vibrant Ruby with aromas dark berry fruits floral and spice aromas. On the palate cherry, currant and raspberry flavors with some fresh cinnamon spice and tea notes. Vibrant acidity, elegant fine tannins, well balanced just starting to wake up, long finish ending with slight earthy notes, plenty of depth, will continue to develop. Nice, but a bit pricey! — 4 years ago

Another 4th Friday for the books!

Smoked hazelnut on the nose, salted pear and lemon; lanolin and lemon peel on the palate...tart and acidic without being overbearing. Almost sulphuric on the finish. Really impressed. Great bottle

There were some real high velocity white wines on the table tonight, yet the one I think I probably consumed the most of was this one. To me, the 13 Aubert was second by a hair. Classic white burgundy. Herbal, Terroir driven. Hint of banana bread, almond, melon and Asian pear. Very balanced, and finished with nice acidity and rounded structure. This was beautiful all by itself, but I can imagine how good it would be with local cuisine. A baby!
