Introduction

Family reunion and birthdays.

Flight 1 - Apperitifs (2 Notes)

Flight 2 - The dinner wines (3 Notes)

  • 2009 Domaine William Fèvre Chablis Grand Cru Bougros Côte Bouguerots 93 Points

    France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis Grand Cru

    Light golden yellow. Fruity, deep and round. More Cote de Beaune rather than Chablis, but a well made, lovely wine. A big 2009 hitting its paces.

  • 1996 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage 93 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage

    A still somewhat reserved Chave Hermitage. Has the mixture of richness and purity I like in these wines, but less forward attraction than, for example, the 1997. Hints of spice on top of deep fruit with refined structure. A Burgundian styled wine. Tannins mostly resolved. Superb dinner wine. One hour decant was helpful.

  • 2000 Hubert Lignier Clos de la Roche Cuvée Lucie 94 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos de la Roche Grand Cru

    Very, very nice. Firmly put together, but has a nice mix of red and dark berries on the nose. Very pure with a medium-long finish. In its drinking window, but holding well. Superb food wine. Short decant (30 min); would have benefitted with more but opened nicely in the glass.
