The 2015 White Burgundies: A Year of Sunshine (Sep 2016)

Bright pale yellow. Very reticent aromas of yellow fruits and spicy oak, plus a whiff of honey. Opulent, spicy and sweet in the mouth, conveying a seamless texture to the yellow fruit and spice flavors. The thick, slowly mounting finish delivers an impression of power but this Montrachet’s impressive fat and early balance suggest that…

Blind Vision: 2015 Burgundy Red & White (Nov 2018)

The 2015 La Grand Rue Grand Cru has a concentrated bouquet, very pure but more introspective than its peers.

A wine of great nobility, a bit imploded on entry, then wonderfully complex and aromatic in the middle, with terrific sappiness and energy to the lightly saline flavors of red fruits, spices, licorice and crushed stone. The rising,…
