2005 vintage. Nice fill. Great cork. Not decanted. Tasted after one hour open. Fully integrated and pretty close to the top of the bell curve...maybe another year or two? This was firing. Uncommon balance. Medium body. Tannins and fruit in lockstep. 7.25.26. — 25 days ago

Crystalline red fruit, seamless, with great persistence. This is why you drink Burgundy. — 5 months ago

Lavish nose of dark ripe fruit and hints of earth. In the mouth what you expect from this vintage. Abundant fruit but not as bold as one would think given the nose. The structure I found lacked precision. — 9 months ago

Classic chambolle. Elegance is the word! Complex and clean nose with red currant, cherry, roses and primordial earthiness. On the palate, seductive elegance with a silky texture and feather like mouthfeel and outstanding linearity. It slowly peels away the complexity with layers of red fruits, roses and the classic limestone undertones. Borniques is biodynamically farmed with winemaking synched with lunar cycles on a small parcel of 1.4 ha situated right above the famous ‘Les Amoureuses’ with vines planted almost on the rock. It explains the very linear structure. The tannins, acidity and alcohol were in brilliant harmony with a finish where the dance continues for well over 2 mins. I loved this and it reminded me why Chambolle-Musigny is one of my absolute favorite villages in Burgundy. — 6 years ago

💫 This lovely Sancerre AOC was made from the challenging 2024 vintage, marked by cool and wet conditions. One of the worst vintages in recent memory, according to my research.

☝️ It’s a testament to the resilience of Sauvignon Blanc and François Crochet as a vigneron, especially considering his commitment to organic and biodynamic farming, firmly rejecting the use of chemicals and fungicides.

👏 Perhaps it was Crochet’s very discipline, watchful eye, and careful hand-harvesting that helped avoid flaws of the 2024 vintage.

🏘️ François Crochet is located in the commune of Bué framed by limestone-rich hills, producing a range of terroir-driven wines.

🌿This wine represents a blend of parcels including several which are normally kept separate for single-vineyard bottlings including Petit Chemarin, Grand Chemarin, and Les Amoureuses.

🥂 In the glass, this wine has a lean and elegant profile with some texture perhaps from time on the lees. Its mineral spine takes a lead role in the bouquet, next to crushed limestone and stony, flinty notes alongside crisp apple, lime zest, kiwi, and gooseberry notes, with a clean, focused finish punctuated by a saline tension.

🍽️ It’s a beautiful—if not classic—pairing with this goat cheese & arugula omelet over a salad with cucumber, avocado, and ripe blueberries. 🫐 The wine’s bright acidity cuts through the creaminess and its gooseberry flavor matches & lifts the tang of the cheese. — 3 days ago

Very light cherry bomb. Doesn’t have the weight that les amoureuses should produce. Enjoyable but a touch disappointing. — 6 years ago

Perhaps there’s no more of a polarizing producer in Burgundy than de Vogüé. The 2008 Musigny was served blind, yielding calls from Dujac Bonnes Mares to Drouhin Amoureuses to actually, correctly Vogüé Musigny. The 2008 showed a lot of oak presence and doesn’t have the typical power of Musigny. But what it lacks in power it makes up for in elegance.

It needed a great deal of air, and it often went back and forth from being shut to then being highly expressive and even wafting from the glass, detectable from a good distance away. There is great focus, concentration and intensity, with a long and gripping finish. Very enjoyable, but I think it needs more time to absorb the oak and balance itself out in order to truly reach its potential. — 5 years ago

Medium weight, cassis, raspberries. The wine is still closed and needs a good 30 minutes to open in the glass. Next to les amoureuses this is true grand cru. Needs a good 8 to 10 years but like so many 2017s is approachable. — 6 years ago
