Producer	Vint.	Wine	Price	Qty	Order
		Burgundy Red
Chanson Pere et Fils	2005	Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Feves	$89	3
	WS 91 (5/2008): A round red, with black cherry and spice flavors picking up a little iron as this moves across the palate. Well-structured and concentrated, turning more elegant on the refreshing finish. Best from 2012 through 2025. 400 cases imported.   WA 88 (6/2007): From a little-known monopole situated above Cent Vignes, Chanson’s 2005 Beaune Clos des Feves shares with its better-known neighbor high-toned aromas of cherry and cherry pit. In the mouth, licorice, cherry pit, brown spices and wet stones mingle with promising dynamic against a backdrop of firm, fine tannins, and a decidedly bitter-sweet and stony concentration completes a picture that promises positive development over the next several years. Also recommended: 2005 Beaune Teurons (85).
	2005	Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru	$225	12
	BH 92 (10/2007): A ripe and spicy dark berry fruit nose that displays plenty of Gevrey earth and lower register game notes that introduce round, rich, delicious and dusty flavors that possess very good if not truly excellent concentration and ample mid-palate sap on the mouth coating and round finish that delivers very solid length. This is relatively forward for the vintage but it will still be a wine in need of the better part of a decade to arrive at its majority. Drink 2013+.
Dom. Albert Morot	1985	Beaune 1er Cru Greves Heavily Bin-Soiled Label; Signs of Old Seepage	$89	1
	WA 86 (12/1989): This 1985 is a dark, expressive wine that has the telltale personality characteristics of the vintage-a fat, opulent fruitiness, plenty of soft tannins, and adequate but low acidities.
	1989	Beaune 1er Cru Les Toussaints	$125	1
Dom. Anne-Francoise Gros	1999	Vosne Romanee Aux Reas	$135	9
Dom. Comte de Vogue	1990	Bonnes Mares Grand Cru (1.5 L)	$1,500	2
	WS 99 (12/1992): A classy, monumental wine, with an impressive deep color and spellbinding complexity. The concentration takes your breath away as the plum, blackberry, raspberry and vanilla flavors coat your palate. Try in 1998. 500 cases made.   WA 90 (10/1992): While the Bonnes Mares is closed, the dark ruby/purple color and the wine's terrific potential are evident. Full-bodied, with a blossoming, black-cherry nose complemented by a judicious use of toasty new oak, this wine exhibits wonderful richness, excellent definition and structure, and a long, dense, concentrated finish. Anticipated maturity: 1997-2010.   BH 88 (11/2007): Complex nose of very ripe aromas and earth and this is already showing strong secondary elements. The flavors are big and rich, indeed even rustic with lots of structure. This does not appear to have the mid-palate depth for the fruit to outlast the structure and while its not necessary to drink up, I have my doubts as to whether it will ever harmonize and it's quite likely it will begin to dry out soon. Still it's quite tasty but the '90 Bonnes Mares clearly needs food to help deal with the tannins. Drink now.
	1990	Bonnes Mares Grand Cru (1.5 L) Very Lightly Wrinkled and Nicked Label	$1,500	1
	WS 99 (12/1992): A classy, monumental wine, with an impressive deep color and spellbinding complexity.

	1999	Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Lightly Scuffed Label	$395	1
	WA 94 (5/2010): Vibrant medium-dense ruby colour with just a hint of orange. Still quite youthful on the nose with an abundance of ripe cherry fruit, warm cranberry, black pepper, violets, undergrowth and cassia. The palate is a little closed, very tight-knit with a medium+ level of fine grained tannins and a nice backbone of high acidity. Long finish.   VM 91 (4/2002): Deep, bright red-ruby. Perfumed, fruit-driven aromas of black cherry, cassis, raspberry and flowers. Full, sweet and deep, with impressive volume and breadth. Began a bit closed in the middle, but opened to show a wonderfully lush texture. Finishes very long and fresh, with dusty, even tannins and solid structure. This is all Musigny, from the estate vines less than 25 years old. The best value in the cave.   BH 91 (12/2011): (young vine Musigny fruit up to 25 years of age - there will be a back label on the bottle to indicate the source of the grapes; with thanks to Dr. Reed Day). A cool, reserved and supremely elegant nose of drop dead gorgeous pinot aromas and a mix of stone and red and black fruits. It is already showing excellent complexity, fine intensity and very fine length all the while exuding an unmistakable level of class and refinement. As Millet is fond of saying "this is short pants Musigny" and so it is. Tasted multiple times with consistent notes. It bears pointing out that this is evolving slowing and while it certainly can be enjoyed now with 30 minutes or so of air, it will need another 5 to 8 years before it arrives at its full apogee. Try from 2016+.   WS 90 (2/2002): Beautiful and structured, with plenty of fruit to back it up. Medium- to full-bodied, this displays deep color, good acidity and blackberries and cherries. Long finish, with plenty of silkiness and mineral. Class in a glass. Best from 2003 through 2007.
Dom. E. Rouget	1999	Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Les Beaumonts Signs of Old Seepage; Lightly Bin-Soiled Label	$550	1
	VM 87+ (4/2002): Good full red. Currant, licorice, herbs and nuts on the nose, along with a strong, slightly tarry oak element. Then penetrating and bright in the mouth, with flavors of maraschino cherry, minerals and spices. Finishes with rather firm oak tannins and very good persistence. Will this turn dry in bottle?
Dom. Fourrier	2007	Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques Vieilles Vignes	$435	4
	BH 92 (11/2016): A fresh but maturing nose of earthy yet high-toned and cool red berry fruit aromas that offer subtle spice hints and a touch of underbrush. The elegant and very fine mineral-infused middle weight flavors are rich, intense and delicious before culminating in a lingering, balanced and impressively classy finish. I really like the sense of transparency and underlying tension and while this could easily be enjoyed now, I would be inclined to allow it a few more years of cellar time first. In a word, lovely. I should note that another bottle tasted in October 2017 was so reduced that it displayed mercaptans and to my taste was completely undrinkable - I have no explanation to explain why there should be such a huge difference between this bottle and the one described above. Try from 2019+.
	2007	Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques Vieilles Vignes	$475	2
	BH 92 (11/2016): A fresh but maturing nose of earthy yet high-toned and cool red berry fruit aromas that offer subtle spice hints and a touch of underbrush.

Try from 2019+.
	2006	Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Les Goulots Very Lightly Bin-Soiled Label	$175	5
	BH 88-91 (1/2008): This too sports a very high-toned, airy, ultra pure but cooler red pinot fruit nose nuanced by distinct mineral notes that continue onto the equally cool and wonderfully precise flavors that culminate in a sappy mouth coating finish where the supporting tannins are quite fine. This isn't overly complex but the sense of harmony and finesse are beguiling. Drink 2014+.
	2007	Griotte Chambertin Vieilles Vignes Lightly Scuffed Label	$799	2
	BH 93 (1/2010): A restrained and if not backward, then at least relatively reticent nose of subtly spicy red berry and black cherry fruit trimmed in touches of wood, herb and smoke precedes solidly concentrated and powerful medium full-bodied and well-focused flavors underpinned by moderately firm tannins and plenty of underlying tension as you can really sense the energy here. A seriously lovely wine that has that Zen-like sense of harmony to it. Drink 2015+.
Dom. Francois Lamarche	2008	Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru (1.5 L)	$299	15
	BH 89-92 (1/2010): (from 3 different parcels, one at the bottom and two at the top but on opposite sides) A beautiful nose combines notes of ripe and pure red berry fruit aromas that are liberally laced with warm earth and oak spice hints that can also be found on the unusually refined broad-shouldered flavors that are rich, delicious and detailed while possessing good mid-palate sap and the structural elements appear to be sufficiently ripe to avoid dryness though there is a touch of tanginess at present that is probably attributable to gas. Drink 2015+.
Dom. Georges Mugneret	2004	Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Feusselottes	$179	1
	VM 90+ (3/2007): Good deep red. Tangy, pure aromas of raspberry, crushed stone and flowers. Intensely flavored, juicy and youthfully tight, with noteworthy precision to the tangy raspberry and stone flavors. Not fleshy but seductively aromatic on the unflagging finish, throwing off suggestions of spices and flowers. Like the Chaignots, this should be laid down for four or five years. Stephen Tanzer.
Dom. Lucie et Auguste Lignier	2008	Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Cuvee Romain Lignier	$89.99	33
	2008	Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Les Chaffots	$84.99	12
Dom. Michel Gaunoux	1999	Beaune Bin-Soiled Label	$159	1
	1999	Beaune	$159	5
Frederic Esmonin	1990	Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques Lightly Scuffed Label	$500	2
Henri de Villamont	1953	Vosne Romanee Collection du Docteur Barolet Ullage 3.6 cm; Bin-Soiled Label; Lightly Tattered Label; Slightly Depressed Cork	$699	1
Joseph Drouhin	1996	Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses Bin-Soiled, Nicked Label	$649	1
	WS 79 (11/1997): Earthy, gamy, sous-bois aromas and flavors dominate this medium-bodied red. The intense fruit is disjointed from the tannins, which turn dry and astringent on the finish.
Louis Trapet Pere et Fils	1986	Le Chambertin Grand Cru Lightly Nicked Label; Lightly Bin-Soiled Label	$189	3
	WA 79 (1/1990): The Chambertin is too oaky, shallow, and diluted. This is a famous domaine with the vineyards and cellar to produce exceptional wine if Jean Trapet would limit his yields and go back to the traditional techniques (no filtration) of his father, Louis.
Maison Leroy	1985	Pommard Les Vignots	$1,100	4
	WA 88 (1/1990): Much has been written about the dynamic Madame Lalou Bize-Leroy. Some of it has been malicious and motivated strictly by insidious jealousy. From time to time I have complained of her pricing structure. Yet there should never be any criticism of her philosophy of what burgundy should be. Her wines are among the noblest and purest expressions of Pinot Noir in Burgundy. They are treated with the care of a pampered child, never filtered, and bottled barrel by barrel. Given the size of her wines and their power and structure, in a cool damp cellar they will last 20 to 25 years. Bize-Leroy thinks 1985 is one of the two best burgundy vintages in the last twenty years, the other being 1978. Given the range of wines I tasted, 44 in all, 16 were exceptional, 21 very good to excellent. Thirty-seven very good to exceptional wines out of 44 is an amazingly high percentage, and I would be proud to own any of them.

Nicolas Potel	2004	Vosne Romanee 1er Cru Les Gaudichots Slightly Depressed Cork	$250	1
	BH 90 (1/2015): This mature and overtly spicy effort displayed virtually none of the herbal character that many 2004s did after they were first bottled, in fact to the contrary the nose is really quite pretty. There is good richness to the detailed and stony middle weight flavors that display the barest hint of rusticity on the delicious and dusty finish. This was served blind and I guessed a 1er from the Vosne section of Nuits St. Georges so that suggests the '04 Gaudichots is showing its underlying terroir reasonably well. Note that for my taste this is drinking well now and there is no particular reason to refrain from drinking it if you are in the mood! Drink now +.
S. Esmonin	1999	Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes Bin-Soiled Label	$175	1
	BH 88 (1/2001): Very intense black fruit laced with Gevrey earth. Quite structured and firm, even backwards at this point but with terrific potential. The old vines character is very apparent and the length is terrific.

Dom. Georges Roumier	2006	Chambolle Musigny	$179		Sold Out
	WS 90 (6/2009): Complex aromas of herbs, spice, flowers and sweet berries mark this supple, delicate red, which is fresh, harmonious and enjoyable now, but will get better with time. The finish is crisp. Drink now through 2018. 245 cases imported.   BH 88 (1/2009): A very Chambolle nose that is airy, elegant, fresh and bright dissolves into round, supple and relatively forward medium weight flavors that possess reasonably good depth and length on the punchy and balanced finish. This is delicious and if not overly complex, certainly energetic and clean. Drink 2012+.   WA 88 (12/2009): Ginger, cardamom, and hints of conifer and resin tinge bright cherry and red raspberry fruit in the nose of Roumier's 2006 Chambolle-Musigny. Lean and moderately polished on the palate, this is an excellent exhibit of the invigoration and levity of which the vintage is capable, and a bottling I would plan to enjoy over the next 3-4 years.   VM 88 (4/2009): Redcurrant and spices on the nose, lifted by a floral topnote. Juicy, pure and on the lean side, with fresh red berry and floral flavors leading to a slightly dry finish. In a fruity style but less fleshy than the young 2007.
