Chambolle-Musigny Village, Domaine Hudelot-Baillet, 2011

Pice: $60-70
AOC: Chambolle-Musigny Village, Cote de Nuits, Burgundy
Variety: Pinot Noir




Aroma: Clear red fruit, black tea leaf and a touch of yeast
Palate: after 1 hr of decanting, very good red fruitness, concentrated, body is more than expected, different from what I expect from a "Chambolle-Musigny", but still a fine wine,  a little bit spicy and bitterness at the beginning, flavor complexity is not high but very focus (red fruit), a very good pinot!

Vosne-Romanee Village "Les Chaladins", Domaine R. Dubois & Fils, 2010

AOC: Vosne-Romanee Village, Cote de Nuits, Burgundy
Variety: Pinot Noir


Color: ruby color to purple hue
Aroma: very delicate and concentrated strawberry and raspberry aroma, plus a little spring flower and perfume.  
Palate: dominated by raspberry, concentration is there, with adequate mineral and earth, bright acidity, a little musk (抹布味?) a wine that is more impressive by its aroma than on palate.

Marsannay Village, Domaine Maison Louis Latour, 2012

AOC: Marsannay Village, Cote De Nuits, Burgundy
Variety: Pinot Noir



Aroma: red fruit (rasberry), earthy with a little mineral and violet. 
Palate: 蠻earthy的, with little mineral, red fruit with a little violet, 喝下去跟聞起來的感覺蠻像的, 味道的 intensity 比 burgundy red 好, 蠻標準的 pinot.

Gevrey-Chambertin Village, Domaine Marchand Freres, 2010 V.V

AOC: Gevrey-Chambertin Village, Cote de Nuits, Burgundy
Variety: Pinot Noir



Aroma: 很存粹的紅果實香氣 有時帶一點花香和香水味, 甚至有一點spice(香料)的感覺 
Palate: 濃厚的紅果實甜味(偏草莓而不是 raspberry)加上土壤的味道, 清楚直接的酸味但不 over, 很好的 balance了這支酒, 酒體的濃度高, 味道的複雜性很高, medium+ body, silky 喝下去沒有刺激喉嚨的感覺, 在勃根地算是比較fruity, 陽性的一個村, 這支酒讓我確定 Gevrey-Chambertin是我非常喜愛的一個村

Nuits-st-Georges Village, Domaine Georges Chicotot, 2010

AOC: Nuits-st-Georges Village, Cote de Nuits, Burgundy
Variety: Pinot Noir



Aroma: 剛打開很香, 很明顯的 fresh red fruit 混著泥土的味道(還帶有一點pinot的酸味感覺), 這隻沒有感覺到花香,偏向rustic的感覺, little to no mineral. 
Palate: 有濃縮感的red fruit甜味 雖然是村名酒的等級, 但已經有做出一點濃縮感, 酸味點到即止, earthy, 帶有一點wood味道, 在pinot裡算是較高的body, little to no mineral, a very good village AOC pinot.

Vosne Romanée 1er Cru "Clos des Reas", Domaine Michel Gros, 2010


AOC:
Vosne Romanee 1er Cru, Cote de Nuits, Burgundy
Variety: Pinot Noir
poured into the wine glass and waited for 15mins before drinking, felt that Gros is a scrupulous wine maker, the wine felt rigid, lines and geometric, felt it is pretty hard to open up?
