A fantastic ‘11! There’s obvious terroir signature, and the richness and power of the Bonnes Mares site definitely elevates the vintage. It gains detail and definition with air and the ‘11 greenness dissipates completely after a 2 hour decant, allowing the complexity of its alluring wildness and layers of spiced dark fruit, game, black tea and wilted violets to shine through. The palate shows unusual density for the vintage, with a silky texture, combining power and finesse, concluding with a pure, focused, saline-mineral inflicted finale. Terrific showing for a vintage I generally don’t covet for red burg. The best I’ve experienced along with Fourrier and Mugneret Gibourg. — 2 years ago

Tossed in to a mix of red burgs, and it stood out as a new world pino with it's cleaner fruit and "modernity" (as G puts it, less VA?). I think it's all about the structure of the wine in comparison. Josh's was definitely lighter versus the d'Eugénie and Mugneret-Gibourg, the acid perceivably more prominent (almost steely), and minerality less so (if any at all). That's not to detract from Josh's really delicious creation, it's just different.

A light wine with heaps of flavour built around a red fruit core. Reflects the vineyard well I feel, having worked with the fruits from the Newnham family (same plot?) in 2017 and briefly in 2018 - small berries that produced lightly-coloured, aromatically charged wines with minimal tannins. This was in the same vein I feel, but Josh certainly pulled a lot more subtance out of these fruit than we did at KW. He's managed to weave in spicy, earthy, herbaceous nuances, and definitely extracted more colour. Mouthwatering acidity and commendable length. Probably the best Australian pino I've had all year (not like I had much to begin with)! — 5 years ago

Blinded, everyone agreed this was Burgundian but had their own ideas on village, vintage, and producer. No one figured out it was from Vosne - perhaps it just lacked the hallmark perfume and exoticism one might think of in Vosne (once more, the fallacy of generalisation in wine). MR was spot on with vintage though, and he was insistent about it due to that touch of austerity in the finish he typically finds in 08’s. As for producer, only MJ thought of Cathiard once the village was established. I was tossing between Mugneret-Gibourg (KP rebuts not sexy enough) and Meo (again KP rebuts not bright enough). What a tough blind by KP!

The wine itself was powerful and concentrated, with lots of mid-palate density, yet as MR observed, a tight finish. Flavours-wise, it featured heaps of red and black fruits (leaning more towards the latter) and some noticeable oak (though not decadent - nice quality!), as well as some earth and meat which probably threw me off in the blind. Having said that, the Vosne origin may have been linked to via the finish which had ample spice notes. A silky texture, lovely mineral undertow and tight acidity wraps up the wine. Really excellent wine but the pieces have yet to fall together to maximise drinkability. One to keep your hands off for now. — 4 years ago

Drank side by side with Mugneret Gibourg Chaignots of the same vintage. Found myself going back to the more sexier MG. — 6 years ago

CLB La Colombière 2017 was explosive and with soaring aromatics and continued to blossom beautifully. CLB’s 2017’s are my favorites right now along with Mugneret Gibourg. — 6 years ago

Quite dense , with ruby , and a narrow ruby garnet rim . Quite a lot of dense fruit on the nose , cassis , blackberry , dark cherry some spice , but lively and fresh . On the palate quite velvety , suave tannins , balanced acidity . Quite juicy with the same of the dark fruits from the nose , cassis , blackberry . Lightly gritty tannins and good acidity , intergrated alcohol . Long dark fruit stained finish . Still really quite young and fruit driven . Even better in a few years and then will age well a further 5-10. At Ma Cuisine in Beaune . — 2 months ago

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)! — 5 months ago

Another superb showing from a 2011 red burg. This vintage seems to have really turned a corner. No doubt in a leaner style but absolutely zero greenness or underripe character, but rather exceptionally elegant and detailed with a beautiful perfume and silky palate.

Along with this one, my favorite 2011 reds in the past year…
