Introduction

Tomas last tasting event for our wine association before heading home. The theme was of course Burgundy PC and GC.

Flight 1 (3 Notes)

  • 2002 Jean-Paul & Benoit Droin Chablis Grand Cru Valmur 92 Points

    France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis Grand Cru

    Deeply golden color.
    Oxidized, reminiscent of mature champagne aromas, caramel fudge, mushroom.
    On the palate it surprises by not being so far gone as the nose would suggest. Full bodied, very good acidity and still fresh fruit. My favorite of the whites this evening.

  • 2006 Marché aux Vins Corton-Charlemagne 90 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru

    Golden color.
    Spicy oak aromas on the nose and on the palate. Good weight and acidity. However, the oak needs a further 3 years to integrate and let the fruit show.

  • 2005 Olivier Leflaive Bâtard-Montrachet 91 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru

    Lightly yellow color.
    An immediate attack of heavy minerals (to my liking) mixed with an oakiness that reminds me of another continent. Heavier on the palate than expected. It evolved well during the evening. To sum up, excellent minerals and pedigree but poor handling of the oak for my taste. Leave it another 3-5 years and it ought to pick up another 2-3 points.
