Le Roi

Sit down supper with a bunch of Burgundies and food at Guillaume which is close to being my favourite restaurant in Sydney…huzzah!

with tomato and peach gazpacho

• NV Domaine Jacques Dury Crémant de Bourgogne Brut

  France, Burgundy, Crémant de Bourgogne

  Medium minus aromas of a little citrus and brioche. In the mouth there is a little sweetness, soft mousse, simple, medium length <shrugs>

• 2016 Maison Leroy Bourgogne Blanc

  France, Burgundy, Bourgogne Blanc

  Ach, dirty glass. Behind this stinky dusty element there are citric notes; lemon and a little lim. Clean. With time a little peach. Palate is equally citrus with a slightly buttery underpin. Medium plus length. Hmm

• 2016 Domaine François Mikulski Meursault 1er Cru Les Poruzots

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

  Exceedingly rich, buttery, controlled oak, muted stone fruit, toasted, very pure and very young, all buttery rather than fruit. Hmm. Time for me.

roasted salmon, courgette, peas, fennel

• 2015 Domaine Denis Bachelet Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin

  lovely wild, pure, blackberry fruit with some forest fruit supporting. Positively pretty with chalky minerality, cream. Juicy, fleshy fruit, extremely pretty on the palate with a little gentle tannic burr. Long. Rather lovely if not a little simple.

• 2010 Bernard Dugat-Py Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru

  Bretty, spicy, earthy, slight leather, forest floor, a little liquorice an black hued fruit. In the mouth it's tightly tannic, chewy in fact, quite drying, liquorice and black fruit, leather and earthy. Still needs time. In fact with time in the glass this opens to show some pretty ripe black fruit on the palate. Very nice.

duck confit, Brussel sprouts, pickled onion and citrus

• 2015 Domaine Perrot-Minot Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru La Richemone Vignes Centenaires

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru

  Black very red fruit, plenty of spice, slightly leathery, stalks. In the mouth it's juicy, fruit sweet initially then tight grippy talc textured tannins close things down. Long finishes with alcohol warmth . Food required for me.

• 2015 Domaine Méo-Camuzet Corton-Clos Rognet

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru

  Closed, dense, black fruits, plenty of oak and a slight herbaceous note. The nose does say vinfanticide for me. And o the palate proves. Very, very young and fairly unapproachable at this juncture. 30 minutes in the glass doesn't really help.

apple tart and cinnamon ice cream. Note, we had the wine as a blind options game prior to pudding. I called Tasmania and dropped out at that stage.

• 2012 Eden Road Pinot Noir Tumbarumba

  Australia, New South Wales, Southern New South Wales, Tumbarumba

  Stalks, ash, strawberry, spice, gritty tannins and a little wild ferment. A bit lost in this line up.

Great opportunity to try some super Burgundies with some lovely food as well. Pity I'd have to sell my first born to purchase some of these...
