Volnay, Côte De Beaune

Domaine de Montille

Les Taillepieds Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 1996

30 years. Fresh and bright out of the gate. Some cherry, quite acidic. Chalky. So for a good hour I was thinking man - great vintage, site and wine maker but was not really convinced. 12 hours later the wine is still in the same spot now with some oxygen. Basically I expect old burghs to be unique - rare one offs with secondary flavor profiles (what was that?) - this was not it. Classic may be - but not more. I would argue drink this up more years will not make a difference. — 21 days ago

Domaine des Comtes Lafon

Meursault Chardonnay 2018

Beautiful wine

Starts out with brightness and sunshine

Moves into citrus and a touch of lime with zest as it breathes.

Really gorgeous

Paired with shrimp risotto and asparagus. Delightful

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 2013

Stunner. Needs air as all PYCM does but it’s electric tonight, layered and complete with killer density, definition and massive length on the saline-mineral inflicted finish. Special wine! — 20 days ago

Domaine Coche-Dury (J.F. Coche Dury)

Meursault Chardonnay 2007

Surprisingly reticent with no reduction getting in the way. A heavy tension and dense richness that still feels light. Full-bodied bananas foster brown butter yellow-submarine. — 15 days ago

Domaine Leflaive

Les Pucelles Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2012

Medium straw lemon colour . This is quite rich on the nose with lemon pith , touch of smoke , ginger and creamy , honeysuckle notes . On the palate this shows more yellow fruits, peach , apricot and lemon , good acidity and balance. Quite intense and long with chalky touches. Drinking well now but still quite fruit dominated. A really good bottle , completely another experience than the overly advanced bottle last year , this one showing youth and freshness , ripeness and intensity . Lovely now but will continue and probably improve over the next 5-10 years . — a month ago
