Quince, San Francisco
Tasted Thursday, March 3, 2016 by drwine2001 with 542 views
Quince prepared a fabulous meal to pair with wines that were shown with great pride by Jeremy Seysses and Dominique Lafon.
I had rarely tasted Dujac whites, and these were a minor revelation in their freshness (helped by large format bottles), familial resemblance vintage to vintage (love that thread of citrus!), zesty acidity for Côte de Nuits white wine, and their judicious use of oak.
The Lafons were more of a mixed bag, but the 2007 wines were just beautiful for current and near term drinking and clearly exceeded the expectations of this vintage. It was also a great treat to taste the '85 Santenots, an autumnal wine that is going out in strong fashion.

Magnum. Light, crisp, mineral, and lemony. Always enjoy this cuvée.
