This dinner was put together when Mr. F wanted to try the '88 Margaux that he has just acquired - if it warranted more (purchases) should it be superlative. Except for the Margaux, we had no idea what wine(s) each would bring. Hah, little did I expect the Margaux to be the only Bord for the evening...
2 "interludes" - (1) Daniel, after all these while emailing you at Bibendium and Wine Networks, it was great to finally meet you in person. Hope you have a fruitful trip here and to HK. (2) Linda/Alice, thanks for helping to get my bottle of CdlR endorsed by the man himself - Monsieur Ponsot!
2008 Domaine Leflaive Meursault 1er Cru Sous le Dos d'Âne
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Meursault 1er Cru
Whoa! What a way to start the evening... Fresh nose of flowers, honey, nectarines. Equally impressive on the palate - rich, with bright acidity... So fresh and balanced. Impeccable! No reason to wait - this is just so good now!

2010 Faiveley Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champs-Gain
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru
This was clearly a step below the Leflaive. Citrusy, with a bit of white-flowers on the nose. On the palate, a bit lemony. Thought it was a bit grassy too. Very fresh though, with nice length too. Just that this paled in comparison to the Leflaive...
