I love the domaine’s 2014s. So much so that I recently picked up two cases of the Corton Charlemagne and one case of the Criots Batard Montrachet.

you the man.

Great notes, how long would you recommend aging this?

The 14 has enough acid that it should be fine for 7-10 years and benefit from some age. That said, there have been reports of pre-mox on earlier vintages so it’s not a wine to tuck away in the cellar for 15 years like you might do with Coche or Raveneau. And it really is drinking well young, so there’s no harm in opening one early.

At a group dinner last night, an 01 Puligny Pucelles was terrific, FWIW. 10 Mouchere excellent, but very young.

I picked up a bottle of this at $170 given the excellent reviews and my curiosity to try it. At this price point should I be buying more?

that is about double the release price…

Yup on the 10 Mouchere. From a couple weeks ago

I last had this I think 5 years ago in DC. At that time, it was virtually impenetrable. While still coiled tight as a spring, it is starting to show its class and colours. Driving lemon, lime and mineral all have an equal say in what is still a full-feeling wine. "

Thanks for the note, Larry, and to all for the ensuing discussion.
