Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru  Lightly Bin-Soiled Label |
$450 |

VM 97 (4/2008): Dark, bright red. Multidimensional, soil-driven nose features wild red berries, smoke, minerals, dried rose, mocha, underbrush and an exhilarating suggestion of white flowers. Like pure silk in the mouth but with pungent mineral lift giving this voluminous, extract-rich wine a nearly weightless impression. As fat, full and solid as this is, the overall impression is of finesse and perfume. Finishes with extraordinary mounting persistence and perfectly buffered, noble tannins.
BH 94-97 (4/2007): A spicy and ripe nose of stupendous breadth and depth is framed in obvious toast that continues onto the supple, rich, textured and big-boned flavors that are borderline massive yet the focus, detail and harmony of expression all retain admirable clarity and purity. Another one of those 'wow' wines as the intensity of the flavors etch themselves onto the palate and the finale positively explodes. Be aware that this will require plenty of cellar time to come around. Don't miss! Drink 2020+.
WA 92-94 (6/2007): The Bouchard 2005 Chambertin Clos de Beze displays a classic aroma of this singularly great site: rose petal, licorice, black cherry, and beef stock. In the mouth it offers intensity along with lift and elegance, its tannins ultra-fine and its finish long, savory, and subtly salty, with deep fruit and carnality. This should cellar superbly for at least 12-15 years. |

La Romanee Grand Cru Lightly Bin-Soiled Label |

BH 95 (4/2004): This saw slightly more oak than the La Romanee of the Vicomte Liger-Belair but this will rapidly be absorbed and I did not find any material differences between this wine and the wine reviewed in the La Romanee Progress Report below and thus I repeat that note here for ease of reference: An adroit trace of wood frames stunningly elegant, dazzlingly complex black fruit aromas, leading to sappy, mouth coating, powerful and very deep if presently tight and somber flavors of astonishing richness and length. But it's the seamless harmony, superb purity of expression and sheer class that distinguishes this. In a word, breathtaking. Drink 2014-30.
VM 92+ (4/2001): Deep red. Pungently perfumed, noble aromas of black raspberry, cocoa powder and graphite. Highly concentrated and chewy with extract; this wine penetrating minerality gives it terrific cut and clarity, even if it's rather ungiving at this early stage. Finishes very long, subtle and backward. |

Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru Signs of Old Seepage; Wine-Stained Label |
$179 |

VM 95+ (10/2006): Pale, bright color. A quintessence of Corton-Charlemagne dirt on the nose: stone fruits, lemon, iodine, ginger, minerals and mint, all complicated by a musky, leesy note that reminded me of a Coche-Dury wine. Then compellingly dense and penetrating in the mouth, with captivating, soil-driven flavors of raw pineapple, white peach, white flowers and crushed rock; a sulfidey complexity and a saline element add to the wine's spectacular subtle complexity. Hardly a blockbuster but conveys an impression of great solidity. This remarkably precise wine coats the palate with dusty stone and leaves behind a suggestion of honey. My sample at Bouchard in early June was painfully young and closed though obviously Outstanding, but this bottle, tasted in New York in August, was spectacular. (Incidentally, my following notes on the Chevalier-Montrachet, Chevalier-Montrachet La Cabotte and Montrachet were from bottles tasted at Bouchard-also quite backward at the time-and I would expect my scores to prove to be conservative.)
BH 93 (11/2010): I have not had this since cask and the bottle in question had a tattered label though no apparent seepage. As such| it's difficult to know whether this bottle was indeed representative as it seemed relatively supple and forward| indeed more or less ready to drink. To be sure| there was no obvious secondary nuances in evidence and still good freshness to the rich| intense and vibrant flavors brimming with minerality on the impressively long finish. Impeccably stored bottles might need another few years to arrive at their peak but absent this bottle being an aberration| I don't think that opening one today would be infanticide. Drink now+.
WS 92 (3/2007): Tightly wound and minerally. Lean yet intense, with lemon, apple and oak spice flavors complementing the stone note. Builds nicely on the palate, fleshing out and then lingering, with an aftertaste of spice and mineral. Best from 2009 through 2020. 130 cases imported. |

Le Montrachet Grand Cru (1.5 L) |
$1,200 |

BH 94-96 (7/2011): This is also notably ripe yet remains very fresh; indeed there is noticeable restraint to the cool, pure and quite dense floral, citrus and orchard fruit aromas that included spiced pear, apple and both yellow and white peach. The powerful and almost painfully intense flavors ooze dry extract that buffers the quite firm acid spine that shapes the driving and explosively long finish where ample minerality surfaces. This is a sizeable but not truly massive effort that remains exceptionally well-balanced despite its density. Terrific potential.
VM 94-97 (10/2010): Pale yellow. Aromas of very ripe peach and pineapple enlivened by more delicate crushed stone. Rich, fully ripe and hugely deep, with great complexity to its flavors of stone fruits, flowers and spices. Near-perfect phenolic maturity here (the potential alcohol was 13.2% and the wine finished close to 13.5%). The finish boasts outstanding palate-staining persistence and an ineffable floral character. One of the longest 2009s I tasted in Burgundy on my spring tour, and not at all an austere style of Montrachet. According to Prost, Bouchard has been picking its Montrachet later and later, and DRC earlier and earlier. "In 2009, we picked on the same day," he told me. Stephen Tanzer. |
