I bought two cases of this on release because Stephen Tanzer noted in his review of the 2013 village Puligny that the Bourgogne was worth seeking out. This is now drinking fabulously. I have had 3 bottles in the last two months and it is incredibly fresh with great fruit and finish. You could easily replace “Bourgogne” on the label with Puligny and feel very happy with the purchase. Glad I didnt give up on this, thought it was surely past prime but in fact it is in its prime.

Fantastic. Too bad they lost their lease.

Amazing wine, mellow tannins, great fragrance, fruit, finish. Drank next to 05 Lynch Bages and Cos. edged out the Lynch Bages. Cos was tight, perhaps because it was from magnum.

Second of six magnums from a case. this one tighter, needed much more time than the first. was distant third behind a Palmer and Lynch Bages 2005.

This is the third I have consumed, the last being in 2016. that was too young. this is drinking fantastically. agree on other comments re Jadot 2003s.

Not oxidized! Nice length. Had bad luck with many leflaives so perhaps overly enthused.

This is my last bottle of 6 and I should have waited until now to drink. Best LLC I’ve had and that undoubtedly because I didn’t wait long enough on others.

Drinking very well. Delicious. Lots of fruit and good length.

5/10/2020 - ptwu Likes this wine:

This is delicious but really required time in the bottle. The Fevre 2010s I had tried prior to this year were funky. This is the second 2010 I have tried in quarantine, so glad I had them with me. Nice length. And held up very well four days later after being in fridge with just a cork.

Nice nose. Not a particularly long finish. But solid.

5/5/2020 - ptwu Likes this wine:

Disappointing relative to my expectations. Lacked length, fruit.

5/5/2020 - ptwu Likes this wine:

Absolutely fantastic, incredible depth, long long finish, delicious red fruit. These Littorais all need 6-7 years to show what they are made of.

I agree with G_H. Uninspiring. One dimensional. Not a lot of length. Lets see how it is tomorrow.

This is the first bottle, out of 7 so far, that I have enjoyed. I think I got a case from Acker Merrall auction that was stored poorly. Or maybe it is age, but I doubt it. This bottle is good. Not tons of length, but there is fruit and some complexity and it smells good, not bad!

4/20/2020 - ptwu Likes this wine:

My last bottle from a case bought on release and maybe the best. The previous one I drank had a little too much of the sociando peppery notes. This one was much more balanced, and long lingering fruit. Outstanding. And I probably paid $18/bottle on release!

4/15/2020 - ptwu Likes this wine:

This is drinking absolutely fabulously right now. I wouldn't wait. has a nice pale yellow glow with just a hint of green. long long finish. full of green fruit notes.

I dont understand the notes. This is the best 2003 I have had along w Poyferre. Long and great fruit notes.

Drank a glass using a Coravin. Tight and tannic initially. Opened up over 30 minutes, but very little character. short finish. maybe it needs some more time.

Delicious although not as much fruit as we would have liked. Drank after a 2003 Chambertin clos de beze. tough comparison as the Beze was delicious

Very nice. Lost a little fruit but still has decent length. no premox thankfully.

this was absolutely delicious, still young! i have had a few 03 Jadot Clos Vougeot that tasted cooked. this has a decade or two left. it absolutely smoked a 2008 Shafer Hillside Select we drank later.

Much better than my last bottle, which i opened in 2014. decent fruit. might evolve. but we drank after an 03 chambertin clos de beze, that was a mistake. still, it showed decently.

this wine has been consistently disappointing, particularly given the vintage. i bought a case at auction from Acker Merrall in 2009. it's not spoiled. but it has no fruit whatsoever. i dont see it getting any better. every bottle i have has been the same. maybe it was improperly stored by them.

4/24/2019 - ptwu Does not like this wine:

These are the most overrated chardonnays i have ever drunk. I am definitely hooked on white burgundies, but also enjoy a range of Californian chards like Peay, Varner, Kistler, which are very different. Have never had a Peter Michael that i have enjoyed. Fruit is completely masked. i like burnt rubber nose of burgs but this stuff just tastes like burnt rubber.
