TN: 2015 Camus-Bruchon Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Pimentiers

16 (and 14) were (or currently are) much more my speed than 15. In general, I perceive 15 as riper, more fruit forward. I've been very happy with 16 except for the prices.

That wrote, I had a similar reaction to 09 that I have tempered of late (mainly w/r/t Beaujolais, notably Brun).

I'm crossing the streams, I realize. Part of the fun.

Thanks to all the people who consistently post here, and sorry that I don't participate more. I'll try to do better.

This is the only bored I read, which is probably why my views are so screwed up.

I like them all for different reasons. To be clear, I buy the same stuff every year for the most part, so it's not like I skipped 2013 or something. For the vignerons I follow every year produces something at least useful if not interesting.
 
I think that's a wise approach, Nathan.

I'm continually surprised by how difficult it is for a civilian in fly over country to locate the same wines year in and year out.

Then try it for, say, red burgundy in 16 and 17.

Turns out there is no M-G bourgogne on the shelves.

Which isn't exactly to the point, but may help explain my heightened attention to vintage characteristics (or not).

That's a fair point and not one easily remedied. I would suggest looking at some really high quality but not A list names. Louis Boillot comes immediately to mind. Gevrey, Volnay and Pommard made in a Barthod-esque style.

As mentioned in another thread, I also really like Geantet-Pansiot.

2017 should be easier. Not a trophy vintage so there should be plenty around and an actual crop, unlike 2016.

None in barrel, just finished wines. My only complaint about them is the CO2. Otherwise it's a vintage at the very top tier.

if we are going for the unambiguous thing, i've been particularly pleased with 2015s in nuits st georges; uniformly among the producers i'd consider tasting in the first place.

something about the natural grit (figuratively and literally) of nsg that is maintained but also elevated through a finer tannin quality in '15, nor did i spot anything that was at odds with the ripeness in general.
