Beaune 1er Cru

Domaine Leflaive

Les Pucelles Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2012

Medium straw lemon colour . This is quite rich on the nose with lemon pith , touch of smoke , ginger and creamy , honeysuckle notes . On the palate this shows more yellow fruits, peach , apricot and lemon , good acidity and balance. Quite intense and long with chalky touches. Drinking well now but still quite fruit dominated. A really good bottle , completely another experience than the overly advanced bottle last year , this one showing youth and freshness , ripeness and intensity . Lovely now but will continue and probably improve over the next 5-10 years . — a month ago

Domaine François Raveneau

Forêt Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2004

My favorite Raveneau vintage and 2004 is absolutely pristine showing everything you could want from the legend—Captivating aromatics, a powerful, voluminous and waxy textured palate that comes with age, racy lemony acids and crystalline minerality. Not only is this brilliant vintage chiseled and laser focused but there is tremendous richness, weight and density. Finish just stays with you. The best showing I’ve had from the Forêt vineyard. — 15 days ago

Domaine François Raveneau

Vaillons Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 1989

Smells like an aged Raveneau, honey over minerality, still vibrant acidity, full-bodied w/nice richness, long, lingering finish, not quite as fine as the 1989 Chapelots 1er Cru I posted on recently, but very close!! — a month ago
