Gorgeous garnet, star bright reflectivity. Rim to rim continuity. Cedar dusted black cherry and strawberry glow warmly in a vanilla and baked cran and ripe red currant dappling. There are red apple leanings and roobios-tulip whispers in a complex and seductive nose that stoops in bushes of thyme and all spice pods. Rich mouthfeel exhibits bits of its green youth, but has unveiled to reveal its abundance with a lengthy decant. Tart cherry and sweet tobacco, tart raspberry essence, dried violets and rose petal, dried strawberry and beet soaked thyme. Grossly underrepresented in this assessment, as the whole is like a wondrous river in a florid wood undulating with ripples of fallen blossoms. Astounding.

Really enjoyable and open, full of cherries and earthy goodness; everything I like about Burgundy

Well these two did not disappoint! Both wines showed so well and true to what people love about these great producers and their wines.

• 2011 Domaine Fourrier Chambolle-Musigny 1er Les Gruenchers VV
• 1999 Guigal Ampuis Cote-Rotie

The Guigal I guessed blind as a 2000/2001, slightly torn between calling it a La Mouiline or Chateau Ampuis I ultimately went Ampuis. Guigal is pretty distinct in its character and the Ampuis is a beautiful introduction to the great Cote-Rotie wines from these hillside vineyards around the village of Ampuis, the namesake of this wine and the place it is made. This bottling was 🔥🔥🔥in this moment!

Fourrier is quickly becoming a favorite Burgundy producer of mine. This Chambolle was like terroir milled into silk. Texturally fine and plush, it was light as a feather with incredible density from the nose to the long, persistently elegant finish. This wine encapsulated what I feel are all of the great attributes that I love in a great red Burgundy. Purity abounds in this gorgeous Pinot Noir, textbook!

Amazing fresh fruit with violets, punchy red fruit with a lifted cherry quality. Very supple and dynamic with zesty delicious fruit. Excellent

Amazing perfume on the nose. Fruit on the palate is light and ethereal. Nice crunch then firm gripping tannins on the finish.
