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. |
