2015 Chambolle-Musigny
A chance to make a nice roundup of 2015 Chambolle-Musignys – nearly 50 wines, not blind – poured by their producers in the Clos de Vougeot – 27 March 2017. Presented here in producer alphabetical order, rather than as tasted… A lot of great wines here, though proportionally… Read More

my weekend bottles…
Sadly the ’59 Clos St.Jacques was just a bit too oxidative to be any fun but its replacement was altogether more interesting, concentrated, silkily textured and rather intense – the 2005 Dr.Georges Mugneret , young vines Ruchottes-Chambertin (a.k.a. ‘villages’ Gevrey-Chambertin)… Read More
The others tasted…
No slurping or spitting! This is a compendium of wines that were mainly drunk with food, friends and family, between October 2012 and mid-December 2012 – so as you can imgine, not a massive list as it’s only a few weeks since the last report. I would have liked… Read More
