Cote Nuits

Domaine Armand Rousseau

Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2002

2002 vintage. Opened with a Durand. Cork in pristine shape. Not decanted. Dark color but airy nose and light-medium body. Like just forming or disintegrating fog, really difficult to get a cohesive grip on a slippery palate. Ethereality to a fault. Hints, glimpses, scents, tastes of greatness but never just enough to remain confident in your rating. And, I suppose, that is exactly where the greatness of this wine lies. A tortured, maddening encounter that leaves you befuddled and asking yourself if it was your fault or not. 2.27.26. — 7 days ago

Domaine Dujac

Aux Malconsorts Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2013

Opened some time prior to service; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2013 Vosne-Romanée pours a deep ruby with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with its notes of strawberry, raspberry, black cherry, rosemary, coniferous forest floor, minerals and fine baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. This is a profoundly sensual wine that is showing really well now and I would expect it to be thrilling for years to come. Drink now through 2048. — a month ago

Domaine Ponsot

Cuvée Vieilles Vignes Clos de la Roche Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2023

Somm David T
9.2

This is nice but not the showstopper of their other Grand Cru. Leaner, soft, nicely ripe berries-lead with raspberries, cherries, strawberries & some pomegranate. Nice red and pink roses. Excellent acidity, elegance, balance but not the perfect structure & length of the other Grand Cru-Griotte. Chambertain. — 6 days ago

Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg

Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir 2005

Checking out a new wine spot….so had to be Vosne Romanee (for benchmarking purposes 😉).
Selected a great producer and vintage but not Grand Cru/Premier Cru, so interesting to see the difference 🤔
Earthy, leathering, not quite as refined and smooth as the Grand Crus but we are really being picky…still a great bottle of wine…and new venue (we will be back)!
