Default Brocard, Burg and Barton

Dinner Notes

2002 Brocard Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru – darker than the 2006, with a
toasty mellow nose, lower acid and more complexity, interesting, but
on the whole what I look for in a Chablis was more evident in the
young wine.


2006 Brocard Chablis Prem. Cru Montmains – nice clean citrus nose,
light colour, crisp and smooth in the mouth, more classic and better
with food, which was a scallop and prawn with tomato and capers. This
one comes in a screw top bottle.

1993 Moillard Chambolle Musigny – slight browning at the very edge, a
good old Burgundian nose, but very dry and slightly astringent in the
mouth, this was showing age – either an off bottle or it simply was
getting long in the tooth.

2001 Daniel Rion Chambolle Musigny Les Beaux-Bruns – brighter with a
nice fruit driven nose as well as more fruit on palate, oddly enough
also with a slightly astringent finish. Enjoyable wine.

1982 Leoville Barton – classic nose, best of the two, edges slightly
browning, mellow and smooth on palate with good acidity, soft tannin
and a pleasant sweet finish. Drinks well now.

1986 Leoville Barton – darker wine with more fruit in the nose, up
front sweet with a bit of spice. This wine was also a tannic monster
when young, but the good news is that it is now drinking well and will
continue to do so for many years.
