Les Amoureuses Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2009
Owner and founder of C. T. Bucklin Wine Advising
In an awkward spot and very young. Difficult to drink with heavy tannins and alcohol. Hopefully this will balance out and sweeten up. #josephdrouhin #chambollemusigny #amoureuses #premiercru #pinotnoir #burgundy #cotedenuits #ctbucklinwine #france — 9 years ago

Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir
An integrated and complex nose. The palate was lively but was drying out on the mid palate. Some sweet fruit balanced with fantastic earthy notes. Great length and a pleasure to drink with food. On its last leg. #josephdrouhin #grandcru #pinotnoir #charmeschambertin #gevrychambertin #burgundy #ctbucklinwine — 10 years ago

Clos des Mouches Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2001
Pale red center and salmon rim. What a nose! Great intensity and complexity. Blood orange, sweet red and black fruit, herbs, spices, sweet meat, aged burgundy. And then came the let down of the palate. Austere, med complexity and body. Off balance with edgy tannins, sharp acid and whacky abv. The finish was short with some signs of drying fruit. #josephdrouhin #closdesmouches #beaune #cotedebeaune #pinotnoir #burgundy #ctbucklinwine — 10 years ago

Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Pinot Noir 1993
The nose on this wine is fantastic showing true elegance and delicacy. The nose is alive with fresh but very sweet red fruit. Unfortunately the palate was faded and austere. #chambollemusigny #burgundy #josephdrouhin #pinotnoir #ctbucklinwine — 10 years ago

Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1943
Sweet old burgundy with no structure left. Thiswine was full of mature red fruit and forrest aromas. Unfortunately there was little lift other than the fact that it was produced during #WWII #1943 It is still incredibly impressive. #closdesvougeot #josephdrouhin #burgundy #cotedenuits #wartimevintage #ctbucklinwine — 10 years ago

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru Chardonnay 2008
A vibrant and taut nose with med + intensity and great complexity. Less weight and concentration on the palate then first anticipated but noticeable elevated quality. Strong acid and very lively with med + complexity and great length. Super Corny. #cortoncharlemagne #josephdrouhin #grandcru #burgundy #cotedebeaune — 10 years ago

Grèves Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir 1993
#Joseph #Drouhin has become synonymous with consistency over the past decades, producing lovely, affordable reds and whites beginning with his flagship monopole "Clos des Mouches". This rather simple but thoroughly satisfying, delicious #Beaune-#Greves from 1993 was fully developed yet still riding the crest of the wave that's carried it gracefully to the present day--SANTÉ! #JosephDrouhin #BeauneGrèves #PremierCru #Burgundy #PinotNoir #winelover — 10 years ago

Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2009
There was some heat on the nose and palate as well as showing some Sta. Rita Hills fruit characteristics. Structure was lacking but it is still quite wound up with good complexity and length. This definitely stood out as a #grandcru but too much ripeness could hurt its ability to age well. #grandesechezeaux #josephdrouhin #burgundy #pinotnoir #côtedenuits #ctbucklinwine — 10 years ago

Clos Sorbé Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2001
A little stiff at first but this really opened into something special. Living fruit, firm structure, decent length. #josephdrouhin #moreysaintdenis #premiercru #burgundy #ctbucklinwine — 10 years ago
Joseph Drouhin
Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Pinot Noir 1985
Mature red fruit, sous bois, earthy, hint of spice. Elegant on the palate with a little grip. Impressive 1er Cru. #josephdrouhin #geverychambertin — 7 years ago

Chambertin Pinot Noir
Well kept but not in great condition. The top of the cork was slightly sunken and shrunken. The color was garnet and clear. The nose was fully mature showing oxidative notes and dried red cherry. Honey, apricot, mushroom, dried roses, and dead leaves. The heat of the #1947 vintage really came through with lots of warmth and body. Little tannin with some acid. A sweet core of faint red fruit, coco, and vegetation. Faded finish. An interesting wine for sure. #chambertin #josephdrouhin #burgundy #pinotnoir #ctbucklinwine — 9 years ago

Mâcon-Villages Chardonnay 2010
Surprisingly this wine has held up well displaying some wonderful aromatics and oxidative notes on the nose. The palate was thinner and off balance but overall it was a nice lunch wine. #josephdrouhin #maconvillages #maconnais #burgundy #chardonnay #ctbucklinwine — 10 years ago
Joseph Drouhin
Clos des Chênes Volnay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2005
Medium concentration with a crimson center and light violet rim. Slow to get started but evolved nicely. Med intensity on the nose with med + complexity. Roasted orange peel, spices, flowers, and ripe red compact fruit. The palate was less complex and age has really loosened the wine up. Soft tannins, present alcohol, and fine acid. Velvety comes to mind. Length was med. #josephdrouhin #volnay #pinotnoir #burgundy #cotedebeaune #premiercru #ctbucklinwine — 10 years ago

Chassagne-Montrachet Chardonnay 2012
This is an extremely well done #chassagnemontrachet It has fantastic balance, weight, and structure. The texture of butter and med + complexity. The oak is there but in a sexy way. #josephdrouhin #cotedebeaune #chardonnay #burgundy #negociant #ctbucklinwine — 10 years ago
