Popped and poured; no formal notes. The 2020 “Grange le Duc” has some real Volnay sensibilities with lovely, elegant fruit and forest floor with a taut structure. This responded very well to air and I expect this will flesh out with some cellar time. Drinking well now with some patience and will continue to do so through 2030. — a year ago

Worried at might be over the hill. Not so! Still a nice drinking Red Burg though wouldn’t wait any longer for sure. Higher rating than previous. Good with the pork dishes from Amah for recent dinners. The red cherry fruits and balanced you’d expect. Punches above weight class for sure. — 5 years ago

The 2020 Meursault Les Charmes 1er Cru has a reductive bouquet that initially obscures some of the terroir expression. That reduction seems to bed in when I return to the glass after ten minutes. The palate is rich and viscous at the entry, and the acidity thankfully maintains tension. The finish feels pure but a bit predictable. Potentially, a lovely mouthful of Meursault, depending on how that reduction pans out, yet intuition is that it doesn't have the class of the best wines in the appellation. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, July 2024)

Blessed to have generous friends. '14 Montrachet started open and full bodied and actually got leaner and more focused with air. Had this wonderful menthol/flint, citrus/lemon thing going that was complemented by a honey/pineapple/ginger flavor, which reminded me of botrytis. After some searching, it sounds like Prieur enjoys a bit in his wines. Salty finish. Excellent stuff that has a ton of life left. — 4 years ago

Really enjoyed this. Opened up with Rich, savory, almost a bit of leather and pork belly with cumin and cinnamon kind of notes. Opened broadly via flavors from some cool floral notes to more savory umami flavors that were less meat, but more like food, cooked, in soy sauce.  — 10 months ago

Medium straw color; smells like yellow apple and maybe jasmine on the nose; medium acidity; tastes like star fruit, saline, and a hint of butter with a long finish. I'm really enjoying the minerality. — 2 years ago

For me, the connection to Ch. Margaux is in name only. While it’s a highly competent wine, there’s no hint of the elegance, nuance and intrigue of the flagship wine. While that might be related to vintage (2009 is not generally know for subtlety or nuance), I’ve had this wine in different vintages with similar returns. Fun for a night. — 4 years ago
