Dinner at restaurant Alchemist
Copenhagen
Tasted Wednesday, September 2, 2020 by Kim Gerner with 55 views
Introduction
50 courses. How many wines? We ended up with 5. The courses were so different and extreme, so no matter what, the wines could not interact perfectly with all the courses. And after all we decided not to go after 50 wines...

2017 Bodega Chacra Chardonnay 90 Points
Argentina, Patagonia
Lots of minerality, tight expression, high acidity and delicate nose and palate. Very Chablis like. I personally prefer the style from Puligny and Meursault with a little more expressive (but not too much) body, MLF and yeast notes. At first the style is unexpected because the wine is heavily inspired by Roulot who is actually from Meursault. However knowing Roulot you know that his wines are not typical Meursault as he is responsible for some of the most crispy, clean, and mineral wines you can get. I do not fully understand WA's 94+ rating. An excellent wine but not outstanding. My comments and rating might be influenced by the very special food we had at the restaurant.
