12 people got together to taste some 2002 Bourgogne wines from around Bourgogne. We focused on Grand Cru, but also added three Premier Crus to the total line up of 16 bottles. 2002 was chosen due to the harmony and balance often found in the wines of this vintage
Great wines, food and company and a night I will never forget. There was so much good wine and some of the wines tasted are or will be legendary. A big thank you to the staff at Palægade who always do a great job. Also thanks to the participants. Rarely have I seen people come from very different places and ages to just enjoy a wine experience together and actually to a large extend agree on what was great experiences on the night and what was not so much. Leroy Beaux-Monts was unanimous WOTN and deservedly so.

Sweet fruits on the nose. Very good balance and length still with sweet tasting fruits A little bit tight to begin with, but a lovely wine and the best in the first flight.

Supposedly the lesser wine paired against three grand crus, but it was only the Clos des Lambrays that exceeded it in quality. A little bit tight, with licorice and darker fruit elements, but good balance. A food wine at this point, but a very good showing indeed.

Many at the table liked this wine better than me, but I could not get past the mushroomy nose and perhaps a little lack of fruit in the mouth. I will admit that it actually had a good tightness and worked well with food, but to me it did not have Grand Cru quality.

I am not familiar with the style of this producer, but this particular bottle seemed very old school, but in a good way. A little bit dusty, but with red fruits also, tight but not too much. An enjoyable wine indeed.
