Domaine Moreau-Naudet
"Forêts" Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2018
Nice one 🔥
Lemon peel, white fruit and adequate structure. Pleasant, good with halibut cheeks. Not top tier Chablis.

Les Beaux Monts Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2004
Very tight initially, no hint of the green-pyrazine 04s have been plagued with. Perfect storage @Jim Wagonfeld. Only needed a little more time to unwind. Acid tightrope, earthy, mushroom, solid fruit core.

Clos des Mouches Beaune Pinot Noir 2002
@Byron Hewett The review and score will come from @Andrew Schirmer . Writing the review is the price he pays for drinking up my cellar. Cheers!
Some initial funk that blew off, perhaps a longer decant would have been helped. Dynamite palate. So fresh at 20 years. Spiced cherries, earth, iron, zipping acidity, everything coming together. Structured. Huge finish. Entering prime drinking window and tastes like it could go forever. 😍

Terroir De Silex Sancerre d'Antan Sauvignon Blanc 2017
Love this cuvée. It ages well.
@Peter van den Besselaar Quite a good value given the quality. Thanks for your input.
Domaine Leflaive
Sous le Dos d'Âne Meursault 1er Cru Chardonnay 2016
Clear light yellow. Nose of match stick and stone. Palate of lemon curd, tree fruit, stones and minerals. Perfect balance and a long smooth finish. I detect no oak. Flirting with perfection.
The vineyard is in Blagny where the whites are sold as Meursault. — 19 days ago

As I have known the owner for many years, I don’t rate these wines.
Do read @Andrew Schirmer review of this vintage from Andrew Will below. Seek out these wines. The favorable pvr is a bonus. — 15 days ago

@Jim Wagonfeld I have a number of them in my collection and have really enjoyed their wines.
@Daniel P. Drake You would enjoy Chris Camarda, the owner as well.
