Red Burgundy:
2012
2014
2015
2010
2016
2008
2013
2009

If I do the same for red Bordeaux, the youngest vintage in the top six is 2000! Only 2014 and 2009 make the top ten.

Despite frequently donating 2005 red burgundies to charity auctions, I find that they are still (but barely) at the top of my list:

2005 - 16.70% of my red burgs
2010 - 15.4% - yet I’ve drunk many while hardly sampling my 05s!
1999 - 12.99% - I must have just bought shitloads as I’ve drunk a bunch I know (will try to dig out that info but part
of it predates my use of CT so…)
2002 - 8.16% - and I’ve drunk a lot of these too
2008 - 7.61%

Whites - not very meaningful as after a torrid affair with big fat chardonnays in my wine-drinking youth, I became a devoted member of the “ABC” club by the mid-1980s and really only started really enjoying white burgundy and chablis again a few years ago.

2014 - 64.7%
2017 - 11.84% (but this is only 9 bottles so you do the math)
2018 - 10.5%
2016 and 2008 - 3.85% (i.e., 3 bottles from each vintage)

Maureen,

What whites are you buying from 2018. The couple of Chablis I had at the Paulee were not my style, but am interested in what people are seeing in the 2018 whites.

[Dav3_Dyr0ff]

Not counting bottles ordered but not delivered, reds:

2005 (an amount equal to the next two vintages combined)
2015
2017 (almost as many as 2015)
2009
2010 (almost as many as 2009)

I was buying in relatively smaller quantities when the '99s and '02s were released, and have drunk more of them than the more recent vintages, otherwise I’d have more of them and fewer '15 and '17.

Whites - just a smattering, and mostly Chablis, heavy (relatively) on the last 2-3 vintages.

Adding percentages:

Reds:

1 2005 (19.8)
2. 2010 (12.6)
3. 2009 (7.1)
4. 2008 (6.5)
5. 2006 (6.4)

Whites:

1. 2014 (41)
2. 2016 (22)
3. 2017 (9 according to cellartracker but I have not added a few bottles coming from Burgundy because I don’t know exact price yet)
4. 2015 (12)
5. 2013 (5)

Due to various circumstances, I totally skipped the 2010 reds. Big mistake, and one I hope to remedy someday at auction.

Yeah, you have to remedy that. Really an outstanding vintage.

Maureen,

Mind you, it isn’t so many bottles. Two each H. Boillot meursault genevrieres and puligny clos des moucheres (plus a mag of the latter) for my grand niece’s cellar. And three of his bourgogne blanc to round out the case (rest of case was a pair of boillot’s latricieres and three of his 2017 puligny combettes).

And I haven’t tasted them at all. Just got an offer at a good price and wanted to support the retailer.

I thought 2018 Rollin PV Sous Fretille a couple weeks ago (thanks, Greg K) was quite lovely after a bit of air but much less structured and deep and ultimately a little less interesting than a vintage like 2014, which is the complete package (Corton Charlemagne like as the CW goes).

I own a couple bottles of the 2018.

[Greg_Giere]

Red:
2013
2011

2014
2006
1976

White:
2017
2015
2012

2014

Sadly, Burgundy makes up only 8% of my cellar

Agreed

[billnanson]

I practically don’t keep whites as I threw so many away in the last 15 years

Care to elaborate? Premox?

Indeed… Most recently, it seems that my 2010 Ramonet Ruchottes are all shot - the 2011s seem fine, for now…

[JasperMorris]

Here’s my Top 20 reds: not enough variation in the whites to be of interest. I have some 2016s still to come. Almost all wines are original purchases though I was able to backfill some 1993 and 1998 recently.

1 2005 14%
2 2010 11%
3 2015 11%
4 2009 9%
5 2008 7%
6 2011 6%
7 2012 5%
8 2014 5%
9 2007 5%
10 2006 4%
11 2002 3%
12 1996 3%
13= 2013 3%
13= 1999 3%
15 2016 3%
16 2004 2%
17 1997 1%
18 1993 1%
19 1990 1%
20 1998 1%

Tiny quantity of whites led by 1992 mainly because I have a mixed case of Lafon. Sold most of what I had after four premoxed bottles in a single night.

All other post 1989 vintages in some amount. Almost no whites now.

[Paul_Jaouen]

Reds only since I don’t own a lot of whites:

2005
2010
2008
2012
2009
2002

The 2012 being so high is kind of an anomaly. It consists mostly of a variety of Hubert Lignier wines that I was able to buy at very good prices.

[Greg_K]

Given that I paid about $50 for the CM and $80 for the Ruchottes (including shipping, etc. from Cote d’Or Imports), they were great buys for me and I am happy to try to age them both a few more years.

I hope you’re right for your sake; I’m pretty pessimistic. I think 15 in general was a very specific vintage.
