Aux Vergelesses Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2014

Nose of cherries, earth, pine, palate is cool and composed, maybe a bit reserved, distinctly red fruited with ample spice and stemmy grip. Feels like it needs more time but elegant — 10 days ago

Domaine des Perdrix

Aux Perdrix Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2021

We had two bottles both excellent. No specific notes but textbook complex and elegant NSG with a lot of concentration (but not over extracted) thanks to very old vines. Great stuff. — 2 months ago

Domaine Dujac

Aux Combottes Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2006

Dujac fans know how great their ‘06’s are, Jeremy Seysses’ first vintage in full control. Aux Combottes, surrounded by Grand Cru’s on all four sides, is terrific in 2006, now fully open and giving wafting an unmistakable Dujac perfume with elegant spice laced red berry fruit, cocoa and Gevrey earth. It’s liquid velvet on the palate, notably impressive for the vintage, with superb balance of fruit character, minerality and fine grained tannic structure. Terrific showing! — 3 months ago

Aux Malconsorts Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2020

Infanticide I know. Decanted for 30 min to start. Had after the 2014 Grivot Ech so really different. Much rounder and fruitier than I expected, but thoroughly enjoyed and will have to try another one in 5-8 years! — 17 days ago

Aux Brûlées Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2010

2010 vintage. 4th of 4 bottles. Last officially tasted 2.22.25 (9.4) but tasted two other bottles since...about 6 and 8 months ago. All three visits decanted, medium body, showing more fruit than expected and rated 9.4. This last bottle not decanted and tasted with @romo after approx 30 minutes open and again after 1.5 hours open. Light-medium/medium body. Most advanced of the four experiences and the least amount of fruit. Allowed for the delicate, finishing latticework to develop without distractions. Another 3-4 years in this current state before detouring elsewhere seems about right. 01.16.26. — 2 months ago

Domaine Santa Duc

Aux Lieux-Dits Gigondas Red Rhone Blend 2020

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2020 “Aux Lieux-Dits” pours a deep garnet with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of fresh, ripe brambles, garrigue, red flowers, and inorganic earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. There is a solid sense of place from this expression. Drink now through 2035. — 2 months ago
