Les Hauts-Doix Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2002
I bought this for 40 dollars in Paris in 2004. It has survived 2 cross country moves since then. I was worried it would be dead or over the hill. The cork was crumbly. But the wine was incredibly wonderful. I have been meaning to drink this for 10 years but kept delaying. Still lots of primary fruits along with the forest and other 2ndary flavors. This is why Burgundy can be so entoxicating to people. It so often disappoints, but not this time. Too bad wines like this are now so far beyond my means or desire to pay. — 4 months ago

Terroir de Milly Petit Chablis Chardonnay 2019
A fantastic bottle of Chablis-adjacent, just great a year since our last bottle. Please see prior notes on the vintage. (A touch more salty than before, but doing fine.)
On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Our guest conductor Karina Canellakis is leading WAGNER (Prelude to Lohengrin, Act 1), CHOPIN (Piano Concerto No. 2 in F minor, Opus 21) with one of our local treasures, Emanuel (Manny!) Ax on piano and then RACHMANINOFF (Symphonic Dances, Opus 45). A fantastic night is ahead of us! — 4 years ago

Bonnes Mares Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1998
Nice tertiary notes of mushroom and forest floor. Fruit is still present albeit somewhat muted. Enjoyable but not the very best from the climat. — 3 months ago

Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Sentiers 2010
Better than the 2005. A tiny bit of brett here too. — 3 years ago
Domaine A. Chopin et Fils
Les Bas de Combe Nuits-Saint-Georges Pinot Noir 2003
Actually a robust wine prominently showing that 2003 heat I’d come across every so often. Makes it interesting mixed into the more classical Burg profile, perhaps not silkily balanced but still thought provoking and a good one with Evan’s over salted soyu chicken — 4 months ago

Arnaud Chopin & Fils
Les Toppes d'Avignon Ladoix Pinot Noir 2005
Perhaps first taste? Interesting notes of black berries and spice though more in the background. Nicely balanced on palate. Look forward to trying 1cru. — 3 years ago

A pair of vintage matched Burg. This one just on the cusp, yellow golden color, hints of oxidative notes into a mellow rounded palate — 3 months ago
