Another French Night at Hamburg

It is the first time since the spring time that Nobbi invited for a tasting of his portfolio.

Maybe it is cause he is sold out most of the time........, burgundy wines are that searched for, worldwide.
So we tasted among his mostly entry level estates and some wines from Jura.
Later on, we opened two higher class Burgundy to feel enamored........

• 2016 Domaine Bertheau (Pierre et François) Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru 90 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru

  Always curious what these bottlings from Bertheau are like at present, so pnp and had this silky tasty fruit right on the palate, the pure elegance, not that rich and generous as in 2015, but well structured albeit young, long finish, very good, will improve over the next decade+, **(*+?), about 89,90(+)

• 2016 Domaine Bertheau (Pierre et François) Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Charmes 93 Points

  France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru

  As the "normal" premier Cru from Bertheau was that convincing we all like to know what the "Les Charmes" would tell us, in one phrase: singing a perfect ARIA!
  No doubt, not only one step up the ladder, for me two(+) steps up, the black fruit that rich and delicious, the pure finesse, dense AND gentle flow, to chew on, great showing tonight, very long finish, think this bottling will improve during the next decade(+), but this specific bottle was in a great place right now! **(**+ -?), 93, 94(+) potential
