Wine-Soaked Saturday, Mostly Burgs

I went for a full day of tasting at Weygandt Wines, then Ansonia Wines, then my apartment. Lots of good wines that made for a really great Saturday.

• 2007 Domaine Rémi Jobard Meursault En Luraule 89 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault

  maybe it was because this had just been opened, but i found this one a bit leaner. still a great mersault with rich pear and caramel, but it seemed lighter on its feet.

• 2007 Domaine Rémi Jobard Meursault 1er Cru Le Poruzot-Dessus 90 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru

  this is a very unique mersault. the nose is loaded with lemon zest, green apple and even some herb. the palate is razor sharp with an intense minerality and slate. finish is almost puckering, but i love the intensity of this wine.

• 2006 Albert Sounit Crémant de Bourgogne Grande Cuvée Brut 88 Points

  nose is really aromatic, lemons, musk, a bit of yeast. the palate isn't as creamy as a champagne, but it has good acid a nice kick on the end of minerals and vanilla.

• 2008 Eric Forest Pouilly-Fuissé Les Crays 87 Points

  golden apples, pear butter and oak on the nose. the palate is surprisingly high in minerals. nice roasted nuts on the finish. not really complex or lasting, but it's easy to drink.

  medium purple color. the nose shows meat, beef jerky and red plums. raspberry, currants, a bit of rhubarb, glide across the palate. medium+ bodied, with spicy acid and earth on the finish. very nice.

• 2007 Bernard Dugat-Py Pommard La Levrière Vieilles Vignes 91 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Pommard

  the nose was so perfumed with the fruit and mineral and meat aromas. the palate was dense with solid fruit, lacid with a very distinct clove and baker's chocolate note. very bold, but retains that subtlety that makes it so pleasurable to drink.

• 2002 Domaine Michel Gros Nuits St. Georges 90 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges

  nose showed stewed plums, meat, beef jerkey. the palate, however, is refined with velvety tannins and a nice, spicy, acidic kick. cherry fruit mixed wth coffee grinds. yet this wien retains a really elegant, sexy mouthfeel.

• 1989 Domaine les Goubert Gigondas 84 Points

  France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Gigondas

  nose shows stewed fruits. smells tired. still some lamb and tobacco. gamey. very low on the fruit. there's a flavor that's much closer to ashes than tobacco. subtle wine. verging on too weak for me. but if you like earthy, nonfruity wines, this is in a good place. in my opinion, it's five or ten years too late.
