So what do we know about Burgs this year and the Hospices de Beaune auction?

Are all these vintages “amazing”? I agree that 2014 was amazing for whites, but to me amazing for reds (of relatively recent vintages) are 1999, 2005 and 2010 and I am not at all sure that any of the vintages you mention are of that level for reds. [Again, I have not tasted any 2018s or 2019s yet so cannot comment on those vintages.]

As for vintages of lower quality, I would say that the last such vintage for reds is 2011 where the wines I have tasted are mixed (2004 was the last really poor vintage) and 2003 probably for whites.

The 2005 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières, Cuvée Philippe Le Bon, of which I got 18 bottles, has been continually outstanding and gets better with every bottle, and no premox. I would love to buy some of the current vintage, but the brain damage caused by the last time we did this makes it to aggravating. Oh well.
