The Bonnes-Mares from the Morey Side
Bonnes-Mares is called a Chambolle wine — but Dujac's parcel sits at the Morey end, just below Clos de Tart. At nineteen years, the 2007 was open, fine-boned, and stonier than expected.

Two Faces of One Slope
Two Musigny 2007s side by side — Mugnier's 1.14 hectares and Roumier's 996 square metres sit one above the other on the same slope. Iron and earth in one glass, rose petal and silk in the other.
A Family Name on a Grand Cru
Only two Burgundy grands crus carry an owner's name — Romanée-Conti, and this monopole, Faiveley property since 1874. And 2007 happens to be the very vintage the domaine began remaking its style.
Named for the Soil, Not the Site
Tom Dehlinger planted an apple orchard to vines in 1975, eight years before the Russian River Valley had a name. His Pinot Noirs are labelled by soil type rather than by block, and the 2007 Goldridge was opened at fourteen years.
