Bouchard
Bouchard Gevery-Chambertin 2003
Burgundy, France, WINES
Village Gevrey-Chambertin is often dark and brooding in style compared to the more elegant villages further south. This wine is quite elegant and has a fine zip to it rare in the very warm 2003 vintage. Bouchard has produced an excellent wine here with notes of earthy red berry fruits and fine balance.

Montille
Montille Meursault -Les Grands Charrons 2004
Burgundy, France, WINES
This is actually Maison Deux Montille, as in the house of two Montilles. Hubert Montille is one of the old masters of Pommard and Volnay, his wines age into beauties, the kind of red Burgundy to I refer to as the 'holy grail'. Both his son and daughter have latched onto his passion for the vine, yet both in different ways. His daughter sees his view, while his son fights with him tooth and nail.. Quite fun to watch actually.
This is a project between Hubert and his daughter and they produce some stunning whites.. This wine is crisp and citrusy yet with incredible mouthfeel and a long finish...even at this price I find it to be a value.

This Echézeaux is from the Petit Citeaux site of the Grand Cru, the vines are very old. The aromas are spicy and toasty with both red and black berry notes along with a lovely violet character that puts this in the very elegant and velvety category of Grand Cru Echézeaux. The lenght is exceedingly long and complex, this wine will age for a very long time with some patience, that may be tough with such a lush, refined wine.

Bouchard
Domaine Bouchard Beaune Clos de la Mousse 2005
Burgundy, France, WINES
The Bouchard Clos de la Mousse is a monopole (or owned soley by them), the 2005 is a benchmark vintage with wines that show the incredible bright, lush fruit character that is found in very fine 'new world' wines along with the classic elegance and terroir found in great Burghundy.
Bouchard has greatly increased their quality in the past two vintages and this coinsides with an incredible vintage. This wine shows aromas of bright cherry, cola, chalk and smoked meat notes, the palate is elegant with soft cherry fruits and stone fruits along with a fine mineral note.

Domaine Caillot
Domaine Caillot Les Herbeaux Bourgogne Blanc 2003
Burgundy, France, WINES
The fruit for this Chardonnay comes from vineyard sites just outside Meursault, the pedigree shows through in the aromas and palate. Aromas of green apple, red apple, apple skin, walnut are in the nose, the palate and finish show more of the same but with a bit more citrus note and a crisp clean yet complex length. This is a great value wine, blind the wine shows more like a $50 Meursault than a $20 Bourgogne Blanc.

Domaine Grivot
Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne Romanee Les Beaux Monts 2005, 1er Cru
Burgundy, France, WINES
Based in Nuits-St-Georges the Grivot holdings improved vastly with Jean's marriage into the Jayer family. Etienne, Jean's son is the current winemaker who focuses on firm, concentrated flavors and pure Pinot aromas.
"This is gorgeously airy and fine with beautiful aromas of floral and spicy black fruit and subtle hints of soy, Asian spice and anise that can also be found on the rich, detailed and minerally middle weight flavors that possess excellent transparency and near perfect balance. This offers real drive and energy but note that it is very firmly if not aggressively structured and will require a decade plus to really be at its best."

An excellent villages but note that patience will be required." Allen Meadows (rated 89, Wine Advocate's David Schildknecht rated 89-90).

Domaine d'Angerville
Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay Taillepieds 2005 1er Cru
Burgundy, France, WINES
This great Volnay Estate produces wines with a silky texture and aromas of ripe cherries and violets, very elegant stuff.
"A strikingly pure nose of cassis, violets and blueberries gracefully gives way to rich, full, sweet and mineral-infused middle weight flavors that have cut-like-a-knife delineation as well as a very firm tannic spine that will also see this through well past its 25th birthday. While the Champans presently has a bit more flesh around the structure, this is a classic Taillepieds built on its minerality and is best cellared by those blessed with ample patience as this is the most backward wine in the range today." Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (rated 92-95, rated 93-94 by David Schildknecht of the Wine Advocate).

Domaine J. Drouhin
Joseph Drouhin Charmes Chambertin 2005 Grand Cru
Burgundy, France, WINES
This was one of the most impressive of all the Grand Crus we at the store tasted during the Spring 2007 pre-release tastings.
"A pungent nose combines notes of menthol, moderately toasty wood, warm earth and bright crushed berry aromas where the sweetness of the nose can also be found on the rich, generous and notably powerful big-boned flavors yet the finish is refined, pure and while not delicate, it's certainly built more along the lines of finesse and understatement than the Bressandes. A delicious wine built to age over the next 10 to 15 years." Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (rated 93, and 90 by David Schildknecht of the Wine Advocate).

Domaine Jean Chauvenet
Nuits-St-George 2001
Cote de Nuits, Burgundy, France
Jean Chauvenet is one of Nuits-St-Georges finest producers, his wines are full of character and finesse (a quality usually found in more prestigeous appellations further north). The oak treatment is subtle (about 10%) allowing for the dark berry and cherry fruits to mingle with the earth and dust found in fine village Nuits. This is a classic style.
