TN: red Chassagne with somewhat Russian food
We went to Riverdale late yesterday afternoon to visit some orchestral
colleagues of Betsy's. A little nibble of figs and chevre accompanied by an inventive cocktail (juice from boiling plums, iced and with limoncello and rum). Then we went for a long walk around neighborhood. Back at the apartment, we sat down to a nice dinner (chicken, bulgur, beets, plum sauce, eggplant, salad- Jenny is Russian and recipes were a combo of Russian, Georgian, and creative). I had brought the wine, the 2002 Jean Noel Gagnard " Morgeot" Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru (rouge). A little sharp at first, but mellowed quickly. Red raspberry and cherry, a bit of damp soil, a touch of spice. Vibrant acidity, nice length. Not showing as rustic as some red Chassagnes, there's actually a hint of elegance. Could use a little more concentration, but nice for what it is. B+/B Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency. * |
