The 2008 Griotte Chambertin from Ponsot is still quite youthful, but is showing some development. The nose is offering cool red and dark fruit - delicate variations of cherries - presented by a nice earthy minerality. On the palate fresh and … [Read more...] about Domaine Ponsot, Griotte Chambertin 2008

Domaine Georges Roumier, Ruchottes Chambertin 2007

Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé, Musigny Blanc 2015
