TN: 4 wines I liked (Burgundy inc 2 with Gamay, and Mosel)
2008 Losen-Bockstanz Riesling Kabinett
Slight, fairly sweet, moderate acids. Not a star by any means, but a pleasant wine that was inexpensive ($11 I think, Grapes in White Plains, it was being shown when I did a pickup month or so back). B- 2009 Joseph Drouhin Morgon Really delightful for $14. Floral nose with a little smoky edge, full red cherry and raspberry fruit on palate. Acids and moderate tannins provide structure, this is in the "it could age, but it's tasty now category." This could please traditional Cru Beaujolais lovers as well as those that only like 2009s. B++ 2007 Sauzet Chassagne-Montrachet with swordfish, endives braised in porcini broth, & sauteed spinach. I liked this before, I loved it this night- unsure if it's the wine, the match, or (more likely) me. Rich, fresh, white fruits and citrus, a little hint of butterscotch. Minerally, chalky, fine. A- 2009 Fanny Sabre Bourgogne Passetoutgrains with cowpeas and broccoli. Fresh, light, and easy. Raspberries and a little cranberry, lively acidity, nice finish. Fine value at $13. 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.* |

It turns out that the estate is quite large for Mosel, the wines are generally rather simple, but not bad, and suddenly you may find the odd useful bottling. The name above indicates a generic product of which have have no information.. 2009 Joseph Drouhin Morgon Really delightful for $14.
