Young Bonneau du Martray; just linear, oak though a big presence is layered, nose awfully restrained and fruit basically hidden until it evolves some more; try in a decade maybe two; so slight but so tight; acid tucked behind the wood too; an evolution to happen; great Corton; an even better site when I drove past this vineyard in May this year; #drinkFrance #drinkburgundy #côtedor #cortoncharlemagne #corton #bonneaudumartray #grandcru #domaine #2009 #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtours #France2016 — 9 years ago

Still maturing 1996 Savigny-les- Beaune 1 er cru Aux Vergelesses from Simon Bize in SLB; the absolute ethereal style of pinot; gushing the red fruits and white flowers despite bottle age; aromas will not lie down; palate the slim style, softened and tipping towards acidity and fineness; drunk in Beaune with confit duck; great; #drinkburgundy #drinkpinot #burgundy #beaune #savignylesbeaune #simonbize #auxvergelesses — 9 years ago

Excellent tasting in Aloxe-Corton at Louis Latour's winery for nearby grand crus; met Harold Small of Confererie des Chaine des Rotisseurs San Diego; great #2008 #cortoncharlemagne ; now that the 2008 harvest has settled its once searing acidity; #louislatour #burgundy #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtours #france2015 #drinkburgundy — 10 years ago
