Burgundy Dinner
Notes from a Burgundy Dinner
Lovely dinner aid on by Devin at a local restaurant, with blind tasted Bugs, white and red. 2001 Girardin Puligny Montrachet Le Champs Gain – buttery smoky nose, silky feel, smooth entry, good acidity, and a fair bit of oak that manifested more on palate than in the nose. I liked this a lot. 2004 Sauzet Puligny Montrachet Le Champ Gain – same vineyard and vintage, different producer, totally different wine.Clean citrus nose, simpler wine with clean bright acidity and oak in the nose. 2000 Fontaine Chandon de Briailles Corton Le Charlemagne – an interesting nutty, salty slightly oxidative nose, medium weight, decent length and classy presence. Nice wine. Served with scallop ravioli, lobster tomato salad After 3 winning whites, we plunged intrepidly on to the reds. 1978 Remoissenet Pommard – the light was low and it was difficult to judge wine age, and this one seemed 15 - 20 years younger. Slightly spicy, meaty raspberry nose, sweet and bright, balanced and elegant. 1990 Thibault Ligier-Belair Les St. Georges – earthy musty nose, and then some mint showed up. Sweet entry, finished with high acidity and some dill. Getting tired? With braised veal cheeks and a foie gras cromoquis (little sac of FG that squirts at you when you cut into it! 1996 Daniel Rion Nuits St. Georges Les Vignes Rondes- Dark wine, fruity nose but I thought it fell a bit flat in the middle, finishing with both tannin and acid. Some raspberry in nose. 1985 Faivelley Mazis Chambertain – sweet fruit in nose, mellow wine, medium bodied, that kept building nose with time in the glass. Ready but holding. 1989 Drouhin Beaune Clos des Mouches – nose slightly musty at first, but cleared up, another sweet, mellow wine that was smooth across the palate. I thought it low in acid at the start but it seemed to somehow balance out with time. With pheasant and an oeuf aux meurettes (a favourite of mine) 2001 Girardin Pommard - dark wine with fruit driven nose, sweet entry, good acidity, good length 1958 Doudet Naudin Savigny les Beaunes – from a producer that fell into some disrepute some years ago, and a wine not reputed to last well, a stand out. Pale colour, rose petal nose, it was almost more like a Nebbiolo than a Pinot. faded elegance on palate, still balanced and still showing a lot of class. |

I find that Remoissenet always seems younger than the vintage on the label. |

I always find that it always tastes a level better than its appellation. The winemaker there is a VERY talented lady, as well as being charming. I was lucky enough to sit next to her at a dinner during Les Trois Glorieuses. All the best Fatty in Forges http://www.souvigne.com |
