Collector review Verified purchaseDomaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Musigny Grand Cru 2009 RedImpressed by this 2009 Red
1) All four of these wines were wonderful in their own right, but the Mugnier wines are a tough act to follow. 2) Also, Vogue's wines take longer to evolve in the cellar.

Collector review Verified purchaseLes Horées En Coulezain Bourgogne Aligoté 2022 WhiteAlmost forest floor and spicy nose which was unexpected, but the on the palate seems to suffer from some dilution (not in the way that a oenologist would refer to dilution, rather I refer to tasting like water has been added) and simply lacked any distinct character or expression of the land in which it was grown. Solid pour.

Collector review Verified purchaseDomaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Musigny Grand Cru 2002 RedImpressed by this 2002 Red
1) I moved immediately toward the Left Bank: Château Montrose, perhaps, or Léoville-Las-Cases. 2) This is, it turns out, a recurring phenomenon with Vogüé's Musigny 2002, and not merely a peculiarity of last night's table.

Collector reviewRobert Groffier Bonnes-Mares Grand Cru 2003 RedCellar candidate
Arrived in perfect condition from Burgdy. I found So inviting on every sip and so much alive with fruits. We noticed Does, perhaps not the concentration (as with a lot of 2001’s) but for those seeking grace over power; what a perfect example of Burgundy Terroir and pure silk.

My this is fair bold wine for a Chambolle, very long end. Hard to fault.
- Collector review Verified purchaseDomaine de la Vougeraie Pinot Noir Terres de Famille 2022 Red
Lovely pour
Honestly, No doubt it's too young - the oak isn't integrated and the richness hasn't yet developed to cover the more acidic flavours - but I really can't tell if this will marry into a gorgeous mature Burgundy or remain disjointed as it ages. Fresh lime, struck match, cakey (cream and brioche), some riper fruits (orange and starfruit), and slightly oxidative (almond and caramel). Would buy again.

Balanced and layered
Order shipped fast — label and fill level looked right. Lovely experience with family & really special Intense bubbles with strong yeast & Granny Smith on the taste Delish but maybe not worth the $$.

Cellar candidate
Provenance paperwork matched what I expected. Dense on the palate, high acid with excellent long finish. Immaculately balanced.

Exactly what I wanted
For us, Not quite close to harmony, but lots here. Hard to fault.
- Collector reviewLes Horées Mon Poulain Coteaux Bourguignons 2021 Red

- Collector reviewDavid Duband Echezeaux Grand Cru 2018 Red
Wine is a little coarse and not silky, but has good grip. Can be a excellent food wine.
- Collector reviewDomaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Bonnes Mares Grand Cru 2005 Red
Palate is okay, some sappy richness.

Still thinking about it
Full on colour; black fruits, moderne; velvety, refreshing acidity, full & fulsome. I found Impressive but…..Drink now & next couple of years. Solid pour.
- Collector reviewAmiot-Servelle Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2016 Red
I found Blood red, orange rim; meaty, grumpy, loosens up with air, herb tinged ; palate much more attractive, silky tannins, diminished acidity, mid-weight, some soft summer red fruit; compact end.

Impressively fresh, concentrated and chiseled.
- Collector review Verified purchaseDom Pérignon P3 Plénitude Brut 1990 Champagne
Provenance paperwork matched what I expected. Vibrant and fresh, although not particularly complex and interesting to me (I am generally not particularly fond of rosé champagnes, I should note). At a tasting (Dom Perignon).

- Collector reviewChâteau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac (Premier Grand Cru Classé) 2005 Red
Great with dinner
Arrived in perfect condition from Burgdy. Ouverte et mis en carafe 4h avant.
- Collector review Verified purchaseAmiot-Servelle Morey-Saint-Denis 2014 Red
1) There is a bit of a disconnect between the nostalgia and the palette with the latter being shorter and lacking the expansiveness that the aromas suggest. 2) They will likely come together in time and if/when they do, this will be a excellent wine.

Collector reviewDavid Duband Nuits-Saint-Georges 2020 RedArrived in perfect condition from Burgdy. Very mild oak noticeable , and a reasonable amount of tannins.
- Collector reviewChâteau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac (Premier Grand Cru Classé) 2005 Red
Still quite austere but harmonious.
- Collector reviewDavid Duband Echezeaux Grand Cru 2018 Red
Five stars from us
We noticed Taught and brooding nose of black cherry, pomegranate, sassafras, and crushed rock. Pretty and pure albeit restrained.
- Collector reviewAmiot-Servelle Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2010 Red
Pronounced nose intensity with notes of mushroom, cooked red cherry, spices. Hard to fault.

More winemaker Eric Rémy said to leave this until at least 2023 but I would say that I could easily go another 12 years after that. Solid pour.

- Collector reviewSalon Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs (Cuvée S) 2002 Champagne
1) Honestly, snappy, lively, fresh, green apple. 2) Not honestly strutting it's stuff though, but a saline and persistent finish.
- Collector reviewSalon Le Mesnil Blanc de Blancs (Cuvée S) 2012 Champagne
1) The aromas are explosive showing incredible notes of Meyer lemons, slightly ripe orchard fruits, white flowers, slightly toasted almonds, pear and hints of some reductiveness (gun smoke sort of thing). 2) On the taste the wine is especially generous and with good depth however with the signature mineral structure and freshness.
