Gevrey 1er

Domaine Armand Rousseau

Clos St. Jacques Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 1999

A fantastically complex and profound nose. Dark gnarly fruit, some black cherry and complex herbal notes. Lovely fruit and getting better by the minute in the glass. Glorious as always. — 20 days ago

Comte Armand

Clos des Epeneaux Monopole Pommard 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2013

Tasted blind. Medium light garnet , showing more age than wine 1 , quite wide garnet terracotta rim . More spice , with a sweet tobacco , dried raspberry , some cherry and earthy herbal , black tea notes . This is more tertiary than 1 wine . On the palate this also has quite high acidity, lightly gritty tannin with dried cherry , herbal hints . Quite fresh herbal tinged finish . Ok length . This improved quite a bit with air , showing more fruit and floral character after a while . This is probably close to peak drinking now but no rush should continue to show well over the next 5-10 years or so — 13 days ago

Cœur de Cuvée Rilly-la-Montagne 1er Cru Brut Champagne Blend 2016

Very fresh and vivid and young. Like, sea spray, a touch of salinity. That sweetness of vilmart. Very dynamic and bright acidity. Some time will probably help this, but great material. — 3 days ago

Domaine François Raveneau

Monts Mains Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2018

2018 vintage. Double decanted and tasted after one hour at approx 59-60 degrees. Medium Chablis body. Lilacs, lemon curd, minerals aplenty along with a slightly curious, white pepper, finishing splash. Obviously too soon as this could easily stretch two decades. Saying this as a decided Chablis non-fan but this was arguably the best white (sparkling or flat) I've had in quite a spell. Le woof. 10.25.25. — 10 days ago

Domaine Dujac

Aux Combottes Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2009

Initial aromas of oak which largely blew off with air. Savoury red fruits. Almost palate staining in its intensity A rich generous palate with great persistence. Combottes is literally surrounded by Grand Crus in Clos de la Roche, Latricieres Chambertin, and Charmes Chambertin. Had this a week ago with Duck. One of the 1001 Wines. My son, who works in New York bought this at Sotheby’s for me and brought it home in December 2013 for Christmas of that year. — a month ago
