Henri Prudhon & Fils Puligny-Montrachet Les Enseignères 2009

Slightly gold color. This wine shows aromas of poached pear, spices and quite present oak. Round mouth with tropical fruit, grilled nuts and smoke. Long and tasty finish, balanced even if feels quite “powerful” for a white wine and the good presence of oak that tends to tone down with air. Still young, but very good! Alcohol level of 13,5%. Very good+ (90)

Made of Chardonnay. Aged 15 to 18 months in oak barrels, 20% being new. Alcohol kevel of 13,5%

Domaine Perrot-Minot Morey-St-Denis 1er cru La Riotte Vieilles Vignes 2002

The wine is quite dark. Up front spices aromas, but also have fruit, some green notes coming from the inclusion of whole cluster and oak still shows a bit. Chewy mouth feel with fruit flavors, load of spices, long and dense finish with a lot of structure left in the wine. Tasted blind, I was guessing a 1er Cru from 2005. Very good+ (90)

Made of Pinot Noir. Total production of about 2000 bottles per year, from a 0,5 Ha plot. Inclusion of up to 50% whole cluster depending on the vintage. Aged 12 to 14 months in oak barrels, 1/3 new, 1/3 one year and 1/3 2 years old. Alcohol level of 13%

Camille Giroud Corton-Clos du Roi Grand Cru 2010

Ruby and shiny color. Explosion of red berries in a festive blend of aromas of sweet strawberries, anise, light caramel and vanilla. Sappy but delicate with fine oak notes, flavors of red fruit, pepper and minerals. Felt quite opened at this stage which, beside how I like the wine saddens me. I would have expected a wine with more structure and ageing capacities which I clearly doubt about it now. I comfort myself by telling myself that I enjoyed it. Excellent (91)

Made of Pinot Noir. David Croix is the winemaker for this wine. Ageing in oak barrels for 15 to 20 months with around 20% new barrels. Alcohol level of 13,5%
