I bought this for 40 dollars in Paris in 2004. It has survived 2 cross country moves since then. I was worried it would be dead or over the hill. The cork was crumbly. But the wine was incredibly wonderful. I have been meaning to drink this for 10 years but kept delaying. Still lots of primary fruits along with the forest and other 2ndary flavors. This is why Burgundy can be so entoxicating to people. It so often disappoints, but not this time. Too bad wines like this are now so far beyond my means or desire to pay. — 8 months ago

With 90 minutes of Audoze style airing this is a spectacularly balanced, complex wine that drinks brilliantly right now. It continued to get better right through dinner showing multiple layers of complexity though if it was blind I might have had a hard time identifying it as an MSD — 7 years ago

It might seem I rate wines overly generously but then again I dont bother with wines I didnt like (which might be a mistake actually.) We drank a 1989 Groffier Clos de Beze during the same seating and while it was still quite visceral and extracted, it had the none of the Burgundian magic and I'd rate it 8.5. This Aubert on the other hand is a love child between a le montrachet and cali's perfect weather. This Chardonnay is the reason I fell in love with wine. magical, tasty, it elevated chef Barber's amazing array of fresh spring veggies to such great heights it really made me appreciate his genius and mother earth's wonderful gift to mankind. Yes, this chard literally made me high on life. — 9 years ago

Barnyard on the nose, elegance on the palate. Still a young wine - more dried fruits than earth, but pleasant — 11 years ago

Out of the machine at The Wine House in LA. Pretty good - quite a bit more of tannins (but 60$) . Mostly dark cherry 🍒. Just to mich $$$ for what it is. — 3 months ago

This is of course a 1996 Les Amoureseus not a CDR. Two hours of Audoze air and the wine was singing! Typical Chmabolle silliness, great multilevel complexity, solid mid palate and an amazing finish! Still it was out classed by the RSV — 7 years ago

Nice tertiary notes of mushroom and forest floor. Fruit is still present albeit somewhat muted. Enjoyable but not the very best from the climat. — 7 months ago

One of the best red burgundies I’ve ever had. Glowing ruby. The nose is classic red cherry and smoke/spice from the oak. Med body, med tannin, high acid. The purest of red fruit, savoury meatiness, forest floor flavours all held together by a shroud of fine tannins and a strong spine of acid. Incredible structure. Seamless. Better in 5-10 years. — 2 years ago

Groffier-Leger Richebourg 1970

One of those days when you're reorganising your cellar and the cork of a '70 Richebourg drops when you lift it... So you drink it. Perhaps the swiftest way to turn abject agony into limitless pleasure!

Nice healthy morello cherry glow with a slightly watery edge; a nose of toffee apples, rich strawberry juice, and hints of sweet liquorice and vanilla; fantastic palate, though ever so slightly dusty from being driven across town for 7 minute before drinking. Still phenomenal - it just last and lasts, spiralling out and blossoming in the mouth.

This was a bottle with serious ullage (7.5 cm). The other two in my cellar are in great condition so this was very encouraging indeed! — 10 years ago
